He was anti-Bitcoin until recently though. Now suddenly he's all-in on it. Obviously something major has changed. One person speculated that this is to appeal to libertarians. I'm suggesting that along with that, the Saudis, who are in tight with Trump, just announced that they are abandoning the petrodollar and are considering trading in Bitcoin.

Way too overthinking it for Trump. Some criminal puppeteer just paid him a lot of funds in bitcoin.

I'm not suggesting Trump came up with the idea himself.
