It was an interesting spaces podcast on X last week.WSJ reports today:"Donald Trump this week pivoted to embrace a niche constituency that few would have expected him to champion—cryptocurrencies and the deep-pocketed investors who have made them their domain. The former president and onetime bitcoin skeptic on Monday helped launch a new crypto business with his family. On Wednesday, he bought a round of burgers for denizens of a bitcoin-theme dive bar in New York. Pledges to block a Federal Reserve-backed digital currency and establish a “strategic national bitcoin stockpile” stand out in stump speeches that mostly focus on such center-of-the-plate political issues as immigration and trade.  All of this has won him fervent support from a growing subset of single-issue voters—and wealthy donors—who say the government’s treatment of cryptocurrency will determine how they pull the lever on Election Day. An industry often at odds with government has been invigorated by having a potential champion in the White House, said Dennis Porter, chief executive officer of Satoshi Action Fund, a bitcoin-backing nonprofit."
