**Crypto-Friendly GOP: Trump Hints at Embracing Tech Industry**

In a recent speech at the Republican National Convention, former President Donald Trump hinted at a tech-friendly future, sparking excitement among tech enthusiasts. Trump declared, "America is on the cusp of a new golden age," catching the attention of the e/acc community.

The GOP's stance on cryptocurrency is clear: they support Bitcoin mining in the U.S. and oppose a Central Bank Digital Currency. Trump's enthusiasm for crypto is evident as he prepares to headline the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville.

However, the broader embrace of emerging technologies like AI remains uncertain. While the GOP is pro-AI, opinions on autonomous vehicles are divided. The tech community remains hopeful for a future of permissionless innovation.
