"We want all the remaining Bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA!!" cracks me up every time I see it.

It's his lack of knowledge about Bitcoin. We shouldn't blame him too much. He is, after all, a noob among us!

I'm just laughing because it's so Trumpian. Vivek or JD made him aware that bitcoin is mined and his immediate reaction is that it needs to be made in America.

It also does fit well with his preference for energy abundance.

reply

Very much Trumpian

He wants bitcoin mined in America because bitcoiners have donated millions to his super pac. It's also a stark contrast to the Democrat view of mining uses too much electricity and contributes to climate change.

reply

It seems more gut level than that. If something can be made anywhere, he wants it made in America.

reply

Correct

reply

These public miners are based in USA especially in Texas

They have contributed to his super pac

No 30% excise tax on electricity consumed by miners

I also own public mining stocks like the ones I listed above
