In this article, it is noted that Donald Trump gained favor among Bitcoin advocates when he appeared at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, leading many to believe he understood the importance of Bitcoin. However, his recent announcement of his family's decentralized finance (DeFi) project, World Liberty Financial, is seen as potentially detrimental. This is because Bitcoin and DeFi are fundamentally different, with Bitcoin being a decentralized store of value and DeFi projects being more risky and short-lived. The concern is that Trump's association with DeFi may confuse and alienate his supporters, leading them to miss out on the benefits of Bitcoin. It is argued that Trump's venture into DeFi could harm the broader push for sound money and financial sovereignty. The hope is that Trump will recognize the error of his path and understand that Bitcoin, not DeFi, is the future of finance.
