Donald Trump criticized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in a series of tweets in July 2019. He said he was “not a fan” of cryptocurrencies because their value is highly volatile and based on thin air, not backed by any physical assets. He also expressed concern that unregulated cryptocurrencies could facilitate unlawful behavior like drug trafficking. For Facebook’s planned Libra cryptocurrency, Trump said companies wanting to become banks need to apply for a proper banking charter and be subject to banking regulations.

 

Facebook Libra’s 'virtual currency' will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks Quote

Specifically regarding Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency, Trump said that if Facebook wants to become a bank, it must “seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks.” He emphasized that the only real currency in the USA is the U.S. dollar.

 

We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar! Quote

criticizing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Facebook’s proposed Libra. When Trump said cryptocurrencies are “not money” and have values based on “thin air”, he was contrasting them with the dollar, which he described as “dependable and reliable”. Since the dollar is backed by and exchangeable for the credit of the U.S. government, Trump views it as a more stable store of value compared to cryptocurrencies whose values can fluctuate wildly. By stressing that the dollar “will always stay” the dominant global currency, Trump was essentially dismissing cryptocurrencies as viable alternatives to government-backed fiat money.
