In 2019, Trump was "not a fan" of Bitcoin, but by the 2024 campaign, his tone had shifted completely, culminating in a thunderous speech at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville where he promised a pro-crypto agenda, a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," and a firm "no" to any CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
