US presidential candidate Trump is very interested in cryptocurrency and accepts Bitcoin payments.

U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed his interest in cryptocurrency during an interview on CNBC yesterday, stating that he finds cryptocurrencies "very interesting" and that Bitcoin is another form of currency that he sometimes accepts as payment.

Trump had criticized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, stating that their value is based on thin air and prices are extremely volatile, also involving various illegal activities. However, his attitude towards Bitcoin has changed significantly recently. In a late February interview with Fox News, Trump emphasized that he still prefers the U.S. dollar, neither supporting nor opposing Bitcoin.

In a recent CNBC interview, he mentioned that he is "very interested" in cryptocurrencies but does not engage in trading. He said he sometimes does small things for entertainment, can make money and have fun from it. He also occasionally accepts Bitcoin as payment, so Bitcoin is actually another form of currency.

VanEck predicted at the end of last year that Donald Trump will return to the White House and help Bitcoin soar to $100,000 by 2024. Trump is also one of the few political figures enthusiastic about NFTs. He has released a series of NFTs, offering buyers the chance to have dinner with him. Now that Trump's bid for the presidency seems inevitable, his stance on cryptocurrencies is expected to become a focus of attention.
