Trump’s keynote address showcased his belief in Bitcoin as a revolutionary “financial paradigm” with the potential to reshape the global economy. He expressed certainty that its value will soar in the years ahead.

Bitcoin: A Global Asset and Hedge

Trump described Bitcoin as far more than a typical asset, emphasizing its role as a “global asset” that safeguards against economic uncertainty and unforeseen disruptions.

“It’s a store of value. It’s a hedge against inflation. It’s a hedge against political turmoil, political instability, acts of God, hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes, guys. That’s what makes it so powerful,” Trump stated.

He also highlighted Bitcoin’s decentralized system, which operates without traditional intermediaries, contrasting it with the inefficiencies and high fees associated with conventional financial systems.

Scarcity Driving Value

Trump pointed to Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million as a critical factor behind its enduring appeal. Scarcity, he argued, is a defining feature that ensures its long-term value and places it in a league of its own.

A Familiar Pattern of Adoption

Drawing parallels to the slow adoption of groundbreaking technologies like email, Trump argued that hesitation to embrace change is nothing new. He shared a story about a friend who dismissed Bitcoin only to see his own bank adopt it shortly afterward.

“People are slow as hell to adapt to new technology,” Trump remarked, underscoring the importance of early adoption.

The Future Belongs to Those Who Adapt

Trump’s confidence extended beyond price predictions, as he forecasted a world where businesses and governments would need to adapt to the growing influence of Bitcoin. He asserted that early adopters will reap the rewards of this transformation.

“We’re going to see that banks have to adapt. We’re going to see that governments have to adapt, and governments will adapt. […] Those who embrace Bitcoin, those who embrace this digital revolution, those who embrace digital currency, the people who come in early are going to be the people who win.”

Trump concluded his address with a message of celebration, acknowledging Bitcoin’s recent milestone of surpassing $100,000 for the first time.

“Bitcoiners, I love you. The Trump family loves you. It’s truly a great honor to be here today,” he said.
