Former US President Donald Trump has sent well wishes celebrating the 16th anniversary of Bitcoins whitepaper.
Posting on X, Trump said: I would like to wish our great Bitcoiners a Happy 16th Anniversary of Satoshis White Paper, adding:
We will end Kamalas war on crypto & Bitcoin will be MADE IN THE USA! VOTE TRUMP! #Bitcoin #FreeRossDayOne.
On October 31, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, released the whitepaper Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, which would change how we view money.
Detailing how the current financial system works, the author proposed introducing a new electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.
Initially looked at with scepticism, Bitcoins price has since soared to more than $72,000 as it makes its way toward its March all-time high of $73,700, is accepted as legal tender in El Salvador, and retail and institutional investors can invest in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Trumps post comes less than a week when the results will be in announcing the next POTUS. Trump and his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris have both been vocal in supporting the crypto industry should they lead the government.
In September, Harris said during a US presidential campaign that, if elected, she would help grow investment in artificial intelligence and crypto. She has also promised to support a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
Meanwhile, Trump has said hell make America the crypto capital of the world. Trump has also backed a crypto project called World Liberty Financial, which plans to launch a stablecoin linked to the US dollar. Raising $14 million in initial funding, the project plans to capitalize on the growing demand for stablecoins.
