He acted against it, so they would approve it. Now the truth is revealed. The art of the deal.

You can apply the same logic to gold.
In essence an asset is something a group of people place value in.
Gold has an inherent value. It's used in electronics, jewelry, and I guess other stuff. Bitcoin was pulled out of thin air. It's not worth the paper it's printed on.
"I guess other stuff" is not a good argument.
The point is gold is just a shinny little metal that a group of people have agreed has value.
Case in point: when the first europeans arrived in the new world and saw the gold the natives had, they lost their mind. The natives in central and south America were very perplexed as to why they were willing to kill for this shinny rock.
As far as: if it's digital, it has no value argument. Everything that people agree on has value, has value. For example: years ago a friend of mine sold his World of Warcraft character for a couple of grand. Yup, a gaming character he built, for a couple of grand. Blows my mind to this day.
The "I guess other stuff" was in addition to jewelry and electronics.
Not sure where you got the "if it's digital, it has no value" part. Not from my post. But yeah, I understand that argument too. I said there was no inherent value in cryptocurrency. Heck, if you're off the grid and living off the land then I would assume you have only a few things with inherent value: water, food, shelter and heat. Though the heat part probably depends on where you live.
Crypto has many qualities of money but not all. It's can be fractionalized but it's not finite. There is an unlimited supply as long as people keep making blockchains that produce it from thin air. Can't do thatbwith gold or silver.
There is a difference between currency and money. There is a reason it's called cryptocurrency and not cryptomoney.
Trump understands that if you want to live in a free society, you need to decentralize your economy and let the people vote with their decisions/wallet.
Hence why he is against mandating vaccines/electric cars, etc but has no problem making them available for consumption. He views crypto the same way.
