Former US President Donald Trump said one of bitcoin's biggest critics is favorably disposed toward the crypto industry.
In a recently released transcript of a Bloomberg #interview , Trump said JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's notoriously negative attitude toward #cryptocurrencies is changing.
If you ask Jamie Dimon, Jamie Dimon was very negative.
Trump responded to the question while discussing his views on cryptocurrencies, which have changed significantly in recent months.
the former president who once called #bitcoin a scam now says he will protect the industry's presence in the U. S. and support the right of people to self-store their digital assets.
In a new interview, Trump says his views on cryptocurrencies have changed over time. According to Trump, if the U. S. doesn't move the industry forward, other countries will.
If we don't [pursue cryptocurrencies], China will pick it up and China will have it. Or maybe another country, but probably China. China has a very strong interest in this. And cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. It's a great thing. For example, at the San Francisco meeting [a fundraiser for President Trump on June 6], I met a lot of people. I've been to San Francisco and met a lot of people for whom this is really becoming an industry.
Even if I scrap it, it's going to be taken up in another country, maybe China. So we need to look at it from a different perspective. Otherwise, we can go to ......... The other thing that I realized when I was doing things like #NFT , I did a lot of things like that. And I realized that 80% of the money was paid out in #cryptocurrency . It was incredible, NFT is a very successful project. We had a year to sell out the book, but we sold out in one day, 45,000 copies, and we did it again, and we did it again, and we did it again, and we did it again, and we did it again. We've done it three times now and we're going to do it again.
