Bitcoin (BTC) gained ironic support from United States President Donald Trump on March 27 after he appeared to say he supported manipulating the dollar. In a press conference quoted by various Twitter commentators, including Blockstream CSO, Samson Mow, Trump defended the Federal Reserve printing more than $6 trillion.

In turn, the dollar supply would be heavily expanded. It is this form of meddling in the money supply that forms a central tenet of Bitcoin as a financial solution. The coronavirus epidemic emboldened its supporters, who watched on as the Fed admitted that it had “infinite” money. “How much did we pay Trump to advertise #Bitcoin?” Mow summarized.
