Back in 2018, Kanye spoke extensively about Bitcoin in an interview with American radio host ââCharlamagne tha Godââ. He praised the idea of the leading currency and hinted that he had begun to use Bitcoin.Â
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have faced difficulty in being accepted mainstream in the US and the present president of the country is an ardent hater of Bitcoin. A number of billionaires in the country who could also help push the adoption of cryptocurrency are also Bitcoin fault finders.
However, the presence of a Bitcoin enthusiast like Kanye West in the presidency would change things massively, and a new regulation in support of cryptocurrency may be enacted.Â
