Anticipation is at a high degree as the 2024 Bitcoin Conference draws near, driven not just by technical developments but also by the surprising backing of an influential person: Donald Trump.
The surprising acceptance of Bitcoin by the former president may change the crypto scene and throw lengthy shadows over political debate and market projections. Here is a look at how Trump’s potential presidency can impact the direction of the crypto.
The Bitcoin Turnaround Of Trump
Once a strong opponent of Bitcoin, Donald Trump has changed his language dramatically. Even suggesting Bitcoin as a possible reserve currency alongside the US dollar, his campaign has aggressively embraced the digital asset. This fresh zeal differs greatly from his past posture, where he wrote out Bitcoin as a “scam.”
In recent discussions, the former president has labeled Bitcoin as “digital gold.” His campaign vows to boost the digital asset’s acceptability. This might give companies and investors more confidence, adding more appeal to Bitcoin.
Regulatory Change And Economic Effects
Trump’s possible impact on Bitcoin is mostly dependent on his attitude to regulation. Given JD Vance’s pro-crypto posture, Trump’s choice of running mate suggests a likely tsunami of favorable crypto laws. Clearer rules and more institutional Bitcoin investment might find their path in this regulatory climate.
Another important element for the dynamics of Bitcoin’s price might be Trump’s economic plans. His platform emphasizes on lowering inflation and enhancing economic stability—qualities that directly influence the value of Bitcoin.
Trump’s economic policies were blamed with a somewhat consistent investment environment over his past presidency. Should he be successful in fostering a better economic climate, Bitcoin would gain from more liquidity and investor confidence.
Conjecture And Market Responses
The market for Bitcoin is driven by speculation, hence Trump’s close relationship with the crypto asset has magnified this influence. Recent events, like the attempted murder of Trump, have demonstrated how drastically market mood may respond to political changes. After the episode, the crypto enjoyed a big surge; meme coins and market mood reflected the great stakes of Trump’s involvement.
Meanwhile, post-assassination attempt, the former commander in chief’s ratings against Biden rose somewhat (see chart below).
Trump’s erratic political path fuels even more conjecture about his possible administration. The result of the election is still unknown even if Kamala Harris is becoming a strong competitor. Harris’s opinion on Bitcoin might potentially affect market dynamics, therefore adding even another level of intricacy to the future of the currency.
Analyses disagree on the possible effect of a Trump win on the price of Bitcoin as the election gets near. While some see a positive trend with Bitcoin maybe skyrocketing above $100,000, others remain wary expecting firmer indications from Trump’s campaign and plans.
BTC Price Forecast
Technical signs show Bitcoin will rise significantly in the following week. The cryptocurrency is trading 33% below our monthly projection, predicting a comeback if market circumstances improve. Bullish indications like a rising moving average and a stronger Relative Strength Index (RSI) imply BTC might rectify its undervaluation and reach the forecasted price goal.
Bitcoin’s expected three-month rise of 536% and six-month growth of 53% shows investor confidence. Analysts expect a 148% growth in BTC over one year, indicating its long-term potential. Positive trendline breakouts and solid support levels back this projection. Institutional interest and favourable macroeconomic conditions might boost Bitcoin’s price in the long run.

Christian Encila
They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
