Bitcoin surges as investors bet on Trump win after assassination attempt​

From CNN's Hanna Ziady
Bitcoin surged Monday after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the weekend, as investors saw a greater chance that the former president — a cryptocurrency skeptic-turned-supporter — will win the November election.

The price of bitcoin jumped 9.5% to $62,980 in morning trading in London, after a deadly shooting at a campaign rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, left Trump wounded but defiant.

While Trump denounced cryptocurrencies during his presidency, saying their value was “based on thin air,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has since made a U-turn, with his campaign even accepting cryptocurrency payments.

The Republican party’s Trump-centered election platform promises to “end Democrats’ unlawful and un-American Crypto crackdown.”

Republicans have also pledged to defend the right to mine bitcoin and ensure every American can transact using digital assets “free from government surveillance and control.”




Bitcoin is an indicator of who might win the presidency now?

It’s not an indicator. It’s trading high because of the assumption Trump will win.

I know it's just the angle, but his hand does look hilariously small in this photo.

I had to read that twice. I was expecting you to say his head looks like a potato.

Bitcoin Bros. are great at predicting trends. Just think about how many of them made millions off their NFT investments.

My sister has a friend who got in early, invested $500 in bitcoin and cashed out with enough money to buy his first house in cash.

Sure, and some people win the lottery too. Doesn’t make for a sound investment plan.

Not really. She was always going to dismiss it. It was just a question of timing.

Wasn't there also a lot of calls for her to recuse herself from this case, and she was defiant?

 

[Twentytwo]

Dude comes inches away from dying the other day and get a huge dismissal of a case by a partisan judge a couple days later, it is almost comical how lucky this dude is.

Smith needs to release all the evidence he has gathered so people know what the fat fuck did.

Can this ruling affect the DC case?

Was he ever a spokesperson for Teflon?

Can they appeal the dismissal or refile the charges? Or does this mean the case is dead.

I believe they'll appeal to the 11th circuit

It will most definitely be appealed.
