Firstly, I would say that the actions of FTX do not reflect on bitcoin itself. The network is still running, it is still being audited every 10 minutes, its supply is still hard capped at 21 million coins, and the hashpower is still growing, making it more secure all the time.
Second, there is immense difference between bitcoin, which runs on proof of work, and other digital assets that run on proof of stake (the federal reserve note also falls into the PoS category). The latter are what we refer to as "shitcoins". Bitcoin is not a shitcoin, and technically it is not even a crypto. It is a digital commodity, the only of its kind in the world.
Lastly, with regards to Trump: He also pushed the jabs, even though we know that he knows the truth about vaccines (and 9/11, election fraud, hussein's birth certificate, etc. It is all there if you go far enough back on his twitter). Is it possible that he is also playing dumb with bitcoin because it is a conversation that the broader public is not yet ready to have? Keep in mind, the vast majority, including most of MAGA, don't even realize that the FedNote is about to lose its reserve status.
Worth noting also that General Flynn tweeted about bitcoin's importance back in 2015, while in the same tweet also predicting Central Bank Digital Currencies. Even Flynn has been playing dumb about bitcoin more recently, even though the 2015 tweet is still up.
And RFK Jr. has recently tweeted directly about it as the counter to the CBDC. Wouldn't it be interesting if he ends up as DJT's running mate and causes DJT to "change his mind" about bitcoin?
This is like asking a random stranger to guard your gold for you, then blame the gold when the random stranger steals your gold and vanish.
