In this video, Joe discusses bitcoin's 2.5% pop following Saturday's assassination attempt and tragedy, and the 11% gain in the days since. Trump has been an outwardly pro-bitcoin candidate, stressing the importance of bitcoin self-custody and mining as a way to bolster U.S. energy independence. He walks through all of the positive statements Trump has made about BTC on the campaign trail. He also discusses JD Vance, the Senator that Trump has chosen for VP, and his pro-bitcoin policies enacted while in office, as well as his own personal bitcoin holdings. We indicate that while we should be skeptical of politicians, JD has put his money where his mouth is. Joe concludes by highlighting that the strong performance of bitcoin following Saturday's events is a preview of the environment for bitcoin's price if we get another 4-year Trump term come November.
