Trump's 8 Bold Bitcoin Promises: Can He Deliver? A Crypto Analyst's Take
Trump’s Crypto Crusade: Promise or Political Theater?
As someone who’s analyzed cryptocurrency markets through multiple election cycles, I’ve learned to separate political promises from actionable policy. Donald Trump’s recent pro-Bitcoin stance presents an interesting case study in crypto-politics. Let’s examine his eight key promises through the lens of blockchain reality.
1. “Made in America” Bitcoin Mining
Trump wants all remaining Bitcoin mined in the US, claiming this would make America an “energy dominant” nation. While boosting domestic mining infrastructure is feasible (we’ve seen Texas become a mining hub), his vision contradicts Bitcoin’s decentralized nature. As Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnon notes, geographic concentration fundamentally opposes Satoshi’s principles.
2. Paying Off $35T Debt with Crypto
The suggestion that cryptocurrency could eliminate US debt is mathematically questionable. While Ric Edelman argues Bitcoin reserves could help, creating sufficient scale would require unprecedented adoption. This feels more like campaign rhetoric than viable economic strategy.
3. National Bitcoin Reserves
This proposal has legislative support via Senator Cynthia Lummis’ bill to acquire 1M BTC over five years. However, legal complexities around seized assets (like Bitfinex hack recoveries) present hurdles. If structured properly though, this could be one achievable promise.
4. Firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler
While popular among crypto advocates, removing Gensler requires valid cause beyond policy disagreements. The process could take over a year - hardly the “Day One” action Trump suggests. Regulatory clarity needs more than personnel changes.
5. Blocking CBDC Development
With bipartisan anti-CBDC sentiment growing (see Senator Tom Emmer’s proposed bill), this pledge seems plausible regardless of election outcomes. The privacy concerns Trump cites resonate with crypto purists.
6. Freeing Ross Ulbricht
Presidential clemency powers make this technically feasible, though politically contentious. The Silk Road founder’s case remains a lightning rod for debates about proportionality in digital asset crimes.
7. Crypto Advisory Committee
Establishing industry-informed regulation could address longstanding complaints about Washington’s knowledge gap. The ambitious 100-day timeline raises eyebrows, but the concept itself is sound policy.
8. Legalizing Self-Custody Rights
Senator Ted Budd’s Keep Your Coins Act aligns with this promise. Enshrining “not your keys, not your coins” into law would mark a significant win for personal sovereignty in digital finance.
The Verdict: While some proposals show promise (reserves, self-custody), others like debt repayment stretch credibility. History suggests political realities often temper campaign trail crypto enthusiasm. Investors should watch for concrete legislation rather than rhetorical commitments.

Trump ‘Đào’ Bitcoin Kiểu Mỹ?
Ông Trump muốn Bitcoin chỉ được đào ở Mỹ? Nghe cứ như phim hành động Hollywood - nơi mọi thứ đều ‘made in USA’ kể cả tiền mã hóa! Nhưng mà này, Satoshi Nakamoto chắc đang cười khẩy trong bóng tối vì ý tưởng tập trung hóa thứ vốn sinh ra để phi tập trung.
Xóa Nợ $35T Bằng Crypto?
Ơ kìa, tính dùng crypto trả nợ quốc gia? Tôi phân tích blockchain 10 năm chưa thấy công thức nào khả thi cái ý tưởng này. Có khi ông Trump lẫn lộn giữa Bitcoin và… máy in tiền của FED rồi!
Bonus hài: Nếu được, ông ấy sẽ cho in BTC thành tờ dollar luôn cho nhanh!
Các bạn nghĩ sao? Comment bên dưới nhé - tranh luận kiểu ‘bull vs bear’ như thị trường crypto luôn!
बिटकॉइन से अमेरिका का कर्ज़ चुकाएंगे ट्रंप? 🤯
सर जी ने तो हद कर दी! $35 ट्रिलियन का कर्ज़ बिटकॉइन से उतारने का वादा… ये मैथ्स के नियम भी ट्रंप साहब के आगे झुक गए क्या? 😂
SEC चेयरमैन की नौकरी पर खतरा
गैरी जेंसलर सावधान! ट्रंप आपको ‘फायर’ करने आ रहे हैं। पर इतनी जल्दी होगा? प्रोसेस तो 1 साल लेगी - ‘डे वन’ एक्शन वाली बात नहीं!
क्रिप्टो समुदाय का सवाल: क्या ये सब वादे होंगे पूरे, या फिर चुनावी ‘बिटकॉइन ड्रामा’? 💸
कमेंट करके बताओ आपका क्या ख्याल है! #BitcoinBakwas
トランプ氏のビットコイン8公約、現実味は？
大阪育ちの暗号通貨アナリストとして断言します：35兆ドルの債務をビットコインで返済？それってつまり…『パチンコの玉で国債返済』レベルですね（笑）。
関西人ならではのツッコミポイント ・「アメリカ製マイニング」は decentralization の精神に反するわ～ ・SEC長官解任？1年かかる手続きを「初日」とは…さすがトランプ節
唯一まともなのは自己保管権利の法制化かな。でも全体的に…『約束』というより『選挙用キャッチコピー』やない？w
みなさんはこの公約、本気で実現できると思いますか？#暗号通貨あるある
ट्रंप साहब का ‘बिटकॉइन महाभारत’!
अमेरिका में बिटकॉइन माइनिंग? भैया, सातोशी नाकामोतो ने तो डिसेंट्रलाइजेशन का सपना देखा था - ट्रंप उसे ‘मेड इन USA’ बना रहे हैं! 😂
35 ट्रिलियन डॉलर का कर्ज़ चुकाने का दावा तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे मैंने अपनी पत्नी को ये कहा: ‘प्यारी, इस महीने की EMI मैं क्रिप्टो से चुका दूँगा!’ (सच्चाई: अभी तक वॉलेट में 500 रुपये भी नहीं)
और हाँ… SEC चेयरमैन को निकालने का वादा? वो तो हमारे यहाँ ‘नौकरी से निकालो’ जैसा है - बातें बड़ी-बड़ी, एक्शन… अभी कांग्रेस की फाइलों में फँसा हुआ!
कुल मिलाकर? इन वादों में से कुछ तो सही हैं (जैसे NFT पर पत्नी की डांट से बचने का अधिकार), लेकिन ज़्यादातर… खैर, आप समझदार हैं! 🤣
कमेंट्स में बताओ: कौन सा वादा सबसे ज़्यादा हवाई लगा?
Trump et ses 8 promesses Bitcoin : Réalité ou Fantaisie ?
Ah, les promesses électorales… surtout quand elles concernent le Bitcoin ! Trump veut miner du Bitcoin “Made in USA”, mais comme si Satoshi avait prévu une frontière pour la décentralisation. Et payer la dette américaine avec des cryptos ? C’est comme essayer de remplir une piscine olympique avec un verre d’eau.
Le plus drôle ? Vouloir virer Gary Gensler en un jour. Désolé, Donald, même les blockchains mettent plus de temps à valider une transaction !
Et vous, vous y croyez à ces promesses ? Ou c’est juste du vent pour attirer les votes des crypto-enthousiastes ? 😏
¿Trump minará Bitcoin o solo nuestra paciencia?
Analizando las 8 promesas cripto de Trump como buen INTJ que soy: desde pagar la deuda de EE.UU. con BTC (¡ja!) hasta liberar a Ulbricht (eso sí sería película).
Lo más realista: lo de las reservas de Bitcoin. Lo más absurdo: pensar que la minería “made in USA” no contradice la descentralización. ¡Hasta Satoshi se revolcaría en su anonimato!
¿Ustedes creen que cumplirá algo? Yo ya tengo mis popcorn listas para este reality show político-cripto. 🍿 #CryptoDrama
Bitcoin President? Sana all!
Grabe ang pangako ni Trump sa crypto - parang nagbebenta lang ng balut sa kanto! Yung “Made in America” mining promise pa, eh decentralized nga ang Bitcoin. Feeling ko mas may chance pa ko maging Satoshi kesa matupad lahat ‘to!
35T Debt? Astig! Pambayad utang daw gamit Bitcoin? Parang yung kaklase kong nanghihiram ng load na “babayaran ko next bull run”. Kahit i-mine mo buong White House, kulang pa rin yan!
Comment niyo jan: Sino pa ba naniniwala sa pulitikong crypto expert? Tara usap tayo habang di pa nauubos tokens natin! 😂
Trump ‘đào’ Bitcoin cho Mỹ?
Ông Trump hứa biến Mỹ thành thiên đường Bitcoin với 8 tuyên bố đầy màu sắc. Nhưng phân tích kỹ thì…
‘Đào Bitcoin tại Mỹ’: Nghe hay nhưng trái ngược hoàn toàn với triết lý phi tập trung của Satoshi. Texas đã thành trung tâm khai thác, giờ muốn độc quyền luôn?
‘Trả nợ $35 tỷ bằng crypto’: Tính toán sơ sơ cũng thấy vô lý. Muốn vậy phải khiến cả thế giới dùng BTC như USD - khó hơn cả việc ông thắng cử năm 2024!
SEC vs Gensler
Hứa sa thải Gensler ngày đầu nhậm chức? SEC không phải casino để đuổi người kiểu ‘all-in’ đâu ông Trump ơi!
P/S: Riêng cam kết về quyền tự giữ ví là hợp lý, đáng để cộng đồng crypto ủng hộ. Còn lại… xin xem như pháo hoa hội nghị! 😏
Anh em nghĩ sao? Tin được mấy phần?
ٹرمپ کا بٹ کوائن سرکس
صرف ٹرمپ ہی 35 ٹریلین ڈالر کے قرضے کو بٹ کوائن سے اُتارنے کا خواب دیکھ سکتا ہے! 🤯 جیسے ہمارے چاچا کہتے ہیں: ‘بیٹا، یہ تو وہی بات ہوئی کہ چائے کی پیالی سے سمندر پی لو’۔
امریکی مائننگ کا نعرہ
‘میڈ ان امریکہ’ بٹ کوائن؟ جب تک ٹیکساس میں مائنرز AC چلانے کے لیے بجلی برداشت کر سکیں! 🔥 (ہمارے پاکستانی لوڈ شیڈنگ والوں کو تو موقع مل جائے)
آپ کی رائے؟
کمنٹس میں بتائیں: کیا ٹرمپ واقعی کرپٹو کو ‘عظیم دوبارہ’ بنا پائے گا، یا یہ صرف انتخابی جلسوں کی ‘ہوا’ ہے؟
