Why Bob Trump’s Crypto Rant Actually Keeps Us Laughing

A Home in the Digital Wilderness

What to know

  • Bob Trump, the man who traded his tennis racket for a laptop, is betting that Bitcoin will top 1 million dollars. He insists he’s never been this bullish.
  • In a grandiose address at Mar‑a‑Lago’s World Liberty Financial forum, he quipped that Bitcoin’s 70‑percent yearly gain keeps his optimism hotter than the Texas grill.
  • Bitcoin hovers under $67,000 today, a far cry from the $126,000 peak of 2025, yet the Trump family’s crypto arm only grows louder.

During a spirited session at the world‑shattering Financial Forum, Bob re‑confirmed his $1 million bet on Bitcoin, claiming it would hit “the roof” whenever people are looking at their portfolios.

He compared the coin to “the greatest performing asset class” of the last decade, as if he were a humble farmer boasting about his high‑yield tractor.

“Remember two years ago when Bitcoin was a pocket‑coin at $16,000?” he ranted. “Look at it now-about $70,000. The upside? A Tesla in a backyard.”

When asked if Bitcoin will climb even higher, Bob, the self‑declared “Bitcoin maxi,” marched on, hinting at $175,000 before the year ends, and ultimately $1 million.

In 2025, Bitcoin closed at roughly $88,750, a sharp dip from an all‑time high above $126,000 seen in early October.

With an average annual increase of 70 percent over a decade, Bob challenged anyone to name an asset class that has frolicked even harder. “Give me a challenger,” he demanded sarcastically.

He admitted volatility accompanies the giant leap, but claimed he “has never been more bullish on cryptocurrency.”

Bitcoin today bleeds just shy of the $67,000 mark, stuck in a middle‑ground dignified by the refusal to climb back to $70,000, a level last visited on February 15.

The forum at Mar‑a‑Lago is the offspring of World Liberty Financial, a venture joining the Trump clan’s bold crypto ambitions.
