Bitcoin's popularity is rising, and politicians are making statements.

Recently, the popularity of Bitcoin has continued to rise, attracting the attention and statements of several political figures. Three current and former national leaders have successively expressed their views on the Bitcoin topic, making it a focal point of public opinion.

Former U.S. President Trump stated in an interview before the South Carolina primary, "I can accept Bitcoin." This statement has been interpreted by the outside world as a softening of Trump's attitude towards Bitcoin, contrasting sharply with his previous hardline stance. Trump also pointed out that Bitcoin has gained its own vitality and may require some regulation, but he sees more and more people wanting to use Bitcoin for payments.

It is worth noting that Trump expressed his dislike for cryptocurrencies during his presidency in 2019, stating that they "are not money." He reiterated his preference for the US dollar in a recent interview. The shift in Trump's attitude may be related to the current political environment. Since the SEC approved the Bitcoin spot ETF in January this year, Bitcoin has garnered widespread attention from investors globally. The Bitcoin ETFs launched by multiple Wall Street firms have released positive signals in terms of capital flow and Bitcoin reserves, indicating that Bitcoin is gradually becoming a compliant investment product.

At the same time, the current President of the United States, Biden, also launched a round of promotion related to Bitcoin through social media. He posted a meme photo and related videos of the "Dark Brandon Laser Eyes" on social platforms, sparking widespread discussion in the crypto community, sports world, political arena, and even the entertainment industry. This "laser eyes" meme has a special cultural significance in the crypto community, symbolizing a strong belief in the Bitcoin bull market.

Former UK Prime Minister Johnson sparked public interest in Bitcoin in another way. According to reports, Johnson, during an interview with a well-known media personality, requested a payment of $1 million, specifying that it could be paid in "dollars, gold, or Bitcoin," excluding pounds. This request has sparked some controversy, with some commentators suggesting that it reflects Johnson's recognition of Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.

Overall, the attention and statements of these political figures regarding Bitcoin reflect the growing influence of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, on a global scale. Whether out of political considerations or personal interests, Bitcoin is gradually becoming a topic and asset class that cannot be ignored. However, there are still many uncertainties and controversies regarding the future development and regulatory issues of Bitcoin, which require ongoing attention and discussion.
