In October 2021, the former president expressed his concerns about bitcoin, believing he could compromise the independence of the dollar and stagnate the country’s financial system. In a recent interview with Fox, Donald Trump said the cryptocurrency collapse could be far bigger than the tech bubble.
“I never liked cryptocurrency because I like having the dollar, I like that the only currency is the dollar. Look, I want a coin called the dollar, I don’t want to have all these other currencies, and there might be a bubble burst someday, which we’ve never seen. The tech bubble will look like a baby thing in comparison. I think cryptocurrency is a very dangerous thing“, did he declare.
