Why Trump’s Surge and Bitcoin’s Rise Signal a New Era in Politics

Last night, I was among millions who tuned in to Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden. Having attended the Republican National Convention this summer, I was impressed by the massive crowd—over 20,000 inside, with tens of thousands more outside. With just one week remaining until the election, it seems like there is widespread support for him across the nation.

Despite previous concerns that Democrats were plotting to undermine the election, my outlook has changed. I now feel that the momentum has shifted significantly in favor of Republicans. At this point, it seems that at least 80% of Americans support Trump, with many liberals and Democrats distancing themselves from Kamala Harris.

I’m closely following early voter registration statistics, which predominantly show Republican preferences. Even in key states such as Pennsylvania, Trump appears to be receiving substantial support.

The mood seems to favor Trump more each day, and the data reflects this shift. For instance, Kamala Harris’s recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast has garnered only about 700,000 views on YouTube since its release three weeks ago. Meanwhile, President Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan, released just three days ago, has amassed nearly 34 million views. His overall online engagement, grander rallies, and rising public support indicate that Trump’s backing far surpasses that of his rivals. In some traditionally blue states, such as New York, where a rally was held last night, it’s evident that even with effort, Kamala Harris might struggle to generate similar enthusiasm.

With the election just a week away, if the current trends persist, pro-Bitcoin Donald Trump is well-positioned for victory. Should promises materialize, there could be significant changes ahead, including Ross Ulbricht’s potential release, a regulatory-friendly climate for Bitcoin, establishment of a Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., the dismissal of Gary Gensler, and a steep rise in BTC prices potentially reaching six figures.

However, these possibilities hinge on robust voter turnout for Trump. As emphasized by Elon Musk last night, it’s crucial to increase the victory margin to thwart any electoral fraud attempts by Democrats. Bitcoin advocates need to mobilize and vote, especially in battleground or blue states.
