Donald Trump's view on cryptocurrencies has notably shifted from skepticism to recognizing their value for payments. In a recent CNBC interview on March 11, the ex-president and presidential candidate mentioned he has allowed payments in Bitcoin, marking a significant change from his earlier view of Bitcoin. Trump shared that he has found profit in the crypto world despite not owning Bitcoin directly. He also noted the practical application of cryptocurrencies in transactions, especially highlighting that limited edition sneakers he sold were often bought with what he calls "crazy new currencies." This venture saw a pair of sneakers sell for an astonishing $450,000, with many purchases made in cryptocurrency.
