Even former President Donald Trump wished for a Bitcoin white paper for his 16th birthday.
Even Trump wished a happy birthday on the anniversary of Bitcoin's white paper and called for an end to the “war on crypto.” Since the first days of Bitcoin, the price has reached more than $72,000 and in El Salvador Trump's article was accepted as legal tender.
Former US President Donald Trump sent his best wishes to celebrate the 16th Bitcoin White Paper.
In a post on X, Trump said, adding: “Wishing all the great Bitcoiners a happy 16th anniversary of the Satoshi White Paper.”
“We will end the Kamalan war on crypto and Bitcoin will be made in America! Vote Trump! #Bitcoin #FreeRossDayOne.
On October 31st, Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, released a white paper called Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Money System that will change the way we look at money.
Describing in detail how the current financial system works, the author proposes introducing a new electronic payment system that “instead of trust, any willing parties can communicate with each other without the need for a trusted third party.”
Initially viewed with skepticism, the price of Bitcoin rose above $72,000 to a March high of $73,700 after it was accepted as legal tender in El Salvador and retail and institutional investors could invest in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Trump's post comes less than a week after the results announced the next POTUS. Both Trump and his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, have been vocal in their support of the crypto industry since taking office.
In September, Harris said during the US presidential campaign that, if elected, he would help invest in artificial intelligence and crypto. She also pledged to support a “regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets.”
Meanwhile, Trump has said he will make America the “crypto capital of the world.” Trump has backed a crypto project called World Freedom Financial, which plans to launch a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Having raised $14 million in initial funding, the project plans to capitalize on the growing demand for stablecoins.
