So, Trump didn’t actually sell any Bitcoin himself, it’s his company running the show. His sons are also in on it.

Just saw that Trump’s company sold $5M in Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Vitalik unloaded $7M in Ethereum. Why are the bulls not jumping in?

Remember what Trump always said? "Never sell your Bitcoin". But I guess that rule doesn’t apply here.

Yeah, and his son Eric is tight with Michael Saylor, who pushes the same motto. Seems a bit hypocritical now.
World Liberty Finance isn’t exactly following the same path as others like NAKAMOTO or MetaPlanet. They raised funds through the WLFI token sale, so it’s not as worrisome as it seems.
So what? His words about HODLing sound nice, but where’s the commitment? He didn’t say it’s okay if you run a Bitcoin company.

Exactly. He claims America should never sell Bitcoin, yet he’s unsure if that’s right. Kind of contradictory, right?
Totally agree. He clearly has no idea about Bitcoin. He can't even figure out how to use it.
His statements seem more like political posturing than genuine beliefs. He talks about HODLing but doesn’t back it up. Typical politician.
Let’s be real, most of these wealthy folks only see Bitcoin as a way to make more money, not as a true investment.
We’ve seen so many who were all about Bitcoin last year flip the script as soon as the market dipped. Always be cautious.
I get that people want to defend him, but it’s hard to trust someone whose actions contradict their words.

Remember his tweets about Bitcoin during his presidency? It was all a strategy to get votes.
Right, he was using Bitcoin to boost his image. Now it’s just a tool for him.
This guy’s a businessman and a politician. Double the reasons not to trust him.

Sure, I lean towards right-wing policies too but man, he plays fast and loose with the truth.
We shouldn’t tie our investments to political figures. Do your own research, stay informed.

Invested in that WLFI token too... it started strong but then plummeted fast. Not a great experience.
I’m not buying Bitcoin because of what Trump or anyone else says. I do it for my own reasons.
