Did you catch the lengthy chat between Donald Trump and Elon Musk on X? 🗣️🎙️ It was a two-hour interview that covered a smorgasbord of topics, from illegal immigration to AI and even global warming. Everything was on the table.
Well, not everything really. 😬 They completely skipped over crypto! 😭😰
We heard the crypto bros were not very happy about this. 🤧 Not surprising! Imagine hosting a party and forgetting to invite the life of the party! 😅 And it’s unlike Musk to not be aware that bettors were relying heavily on Trump talking about crypto, with over $800,000 on the line. 💲💸
Bettors were pretty optimistic at first, giving a 65% odds on Trump mentioning the word at least before the end of the interview. 🤓 After the electric atmosphere at the sold-out Bitcoin 2024 Conference, it seemed like a pretty safe wager. ✔️ There was a little fine print though: he had to say “crypto” specifically—not “Bitcoin” or “Ethereum” but the catch-all word itself. Even if he said it in other forms, like plural or possessive, that would’ve counted!
As it turned out, he didn’t say it. 😨😶
Some people in the crypto space are now wondering if Trump truly supports crypto or if it’s all just for show. 🤔 Now, before anyone gets offended, this is just a summary of what some spectators have already said on X! 😁
That X Spaces conversation pulled in over 1.3 million listeners! 👏🏼📢 Was Trump just too busy discussing the more important stuff to throw some crypto bones to the masses? Or was it intentional?
If we give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he’s cooking up something big for later. Only time will tell. 😊
Anyway, not everyone ended up with huge losses. 🤗 Let’s give a round of applause to the genius who strolled off with more than $1 million after accurately guessing what words Trump would or wouldn’t say during the interview. 🥳🎉
We know, right? Their biggest bet was that Trump wouldn’t say “crypto.” And just like that, that user became $336,918 richer than the rest of the betting market that day. 😎 Should we try and find out their birth chart or which psychic they go to? 😝
With Trump sidestepping the whole crypto talk in his interview and bettors’ predictions going up in smoke, it seems even though cryptocurrencies are all the rage in election campaigns, they’re still not as mainstream as most investors would like them to be. 🤔 Of course, we’ll have to watch and see if this changes in the future! 🤞🏽😇
