Trump’s Crypto Conundrum: A Down Under Dilemma!

by

Oh, the irony! The 45th President of the United States, a man who once declared Bitcoin “not money,” now finds himself the subject of crypto adoration down under. However, a recent survey reveals that only one in three Australians believe that Trump is a friend to the crypto industry.

As per Independent Reserve’s survey of 2,100 locals, a mere 31% see Trump as a crypto champion, while a paltry 8% consider him a crypto villain. The rest, it seems, are still pondering the question.

Interestingly, crypto investors are more likely to view Trump favorably, with 50% considering him a positive influence. Meanwhile, a measly 20% of non-investors share this sentiment. Quite the disparity, wouldn’t you say?

But, dear reader, let us not forget that Bitcoin has been on a rollercoaster ride since Trump’s re-election, soaring to a whopping $91,100! Surely, that must count for something?

Adrian Przelozny, CEO of Independent Reserve, chimed in, “There is widespread anticipation that his pro-crypto policies will foster innovation and broader adoption of digital assets.” A bold statement, indeed!

But alas, the survey also reveals that a staggering 20% of Australians have faced challenges from traditional financial institutions when attempting to invest in crypto. A clear indication that regulatory clarity is needed, wouldn’t you agree?

As Australia gears up for its federal election, it remains to be seen if a pro-crypto candidate will capture the hearts and minds of the people. But one thing is certain: the crypto world will be watching with bated breath!
