Donald Trump unveiled the limited edition Bitcoin sneakers during the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville as part of his campaign for the upcoming elections. Aside voicing his support for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, this move reflected the politician’s current pro-crypto stance.
Sold by his company, CIC Ventures LLC, Trump made the sneakers available in two versions: 1,000 pairs of “Bitcoin orange” for $500 each, and 4,000 pairs of “luxurious black” for $299 each. Noteworthy, Bitcoin is an accepted form of payment for the sneakers.
“Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban pointed out that the Bitcoin sneakers are not just merchandise but a political statement.
Pro-Bitcoin Donald Trump and Crypto Funding
So far, it is safe to say that the Donald Trump crypto stance has paid off. He allegedly raised about $25 million during the Nashville Bitcoin Conference and the donations are still pouring in. American businessman Gary Cardone donated 12.8 Bitcoin to Trump’s Presidential Campaign ahead of the US elections. The value of the donation comes in at over $850,000.
Similarly, Paypal’s former President David Marcus publicly declared his support to Trump and the Republican party. For Marcus, this is a major pivot considering that he identifies with the Democrats. He did not denounce his commitment to Biden’s party but he noted he was “crossing the Rubicon. ”
“Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it,” Marcus said.
