The cryptocurrency industry has found an unlikely ally: Melania Trump
Former US first lady Melania Trump caused a stir on Twitter after celebrating the 13th anniversary of the Bitcoin root block in a tweet that is now going viral.
She also attached a raw hex version of the first block with the Coinbase parameter containing the London Times headline about the bank bailouts:
The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.

Nakamoto on January 3, 2009. Its celebration was widely celebrated by many prominent members of the community, including former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Melania Trump’s tweet also mentioned that the market capitalization of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exceeds $1 trillion (although the top coin is currently worth $872 billion).
Those who were caught off guard may have been caught off guard by her sudden support of Bitcoin. However, last month, Melania Trump ushered her into the world of non-fungible tokens by announcing the NFT “Melania’s Vision” in partnership with Marc-Antoine Coulon.
The former first lady casually reminded the crypto community of the artwork by including the hashtag #MelaniaNFT in her celebratory tweet.
Now that Melania Trump has become a Bitcoiner, members of the community want her to change her husband’s stance on cryptocurrencies.
In a June interview with Fox News, former US President Trump described Bitcoin as “a scam” while calling for the imposition of harsh regulations on cryptocurrencies. In his most recent interviews, he reiterated his negative view of cryptocurrencies.
Former Donald Trump opponent, Hillary Clinton, says that cryptocurrencies could undermine the role of the US dollar.
