Former President Donald Trump addressed the crowd at the Nashville Bitcoin 2024 Conference, discussing recent developments in electric car infrastructure, expressing concerns about the financial sustainability of such projects, and laying out an ambitious plan to position the United States as the global leader in cryptocurrency.
"In the Midwest, they just opened up two chargers, you know, a charger for the electric cars. And, you know, I love Elon. He's great. He endorsed me, and great endorsement and everything else," Trump began. "But not everybody has to have an electric car. I told him that. So we're going to get rid of that mandate. If you don't mind, some people want gasoline-propelled cars. Some people want a hybrid, and some people like an electric car. They're great. I think they're great. I think what he's done is great."

Trump highlighted the impracticality of the current approach to electric car infrastructure. "It's just like they did these chargers in the Midwest. There are eight of them. They spent $9 billion to build eight chargers to charge up a car. And at that rate, it would cost approximately $12 trillion to put the chargers somehow. That's not working. The country would have to file for Chapter 11. We'll do a chapter, you know, it's called Chapter Seven instead of a Chapter 11, but it's the equivalent. Now, we have to use our brain. We have to be—we are the party of common sense. Okay, we have to have common sense."
He emphasized the need for balanced energy production to stay competitive on the global stage. "But what we do have to do is we have to produce tremendous electric for AI and for all of the other things, including the things that you're doing, and we'll get it produced. And we're going to get it produced fast, or we're not going to be able to compete with China and other countries. So we're going to get it produced."

Shifting focus to cryptocurrency, Trump unveiled his vision for America's dominance in the crypto space. "This afternoon, I'm laying out my plan to ensure that the United States will be the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world, and we'll get it done."

I’m not a huge fan of online currency, to much NWO for me.
Bitcoin actually takes banks out of the equation. Central bank digital currency bad…blockchain digital coins good. You just need to educate yourself on the difference.
It’s still something backed by nothing that can’t be put into your pocket and can be stolen online with no recourse. I may be behind the curve, but it still seems awfully risky. Not that checking accts aren’t at this time.
The current dollar in your pocket is based on what? The bank you have your money can be taken by the bank and you are left with getting the money back from the government insurance program. What happens in the meantime paying your bills and feeding your family? Life is a risk. The greatest catalyst for economic growth would be getting rid of the current banking system.
pied piper mark of the beast moneytrap for fools thinking they are wise. cia will take over bitcoin like they did dark web if they havent already. blockchain is complete opposite of anonymous cash and digital control completes the enslavement
Nothing to do with the mark of the beast? The false prophet (the second beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark is literally placed in the hand or forehead and is not simply a card someone carries. If you are going to quote the bible try reading it sometime,
you are right. bitcoin is fools gold. blockchain is complete opposite of anonymous cash and records every transaction. digital money will also enable mark of the beast control over every coin. could this be trump 2.0 betrayal like scamdemic was trump 1.0 betrayal ?
