>> The reason I've come to address the Bitcoin community today can be summed up in two very simple words, America first. Because if we don't do it, China's gonna be doing, others are gonna be doing it. Let's do it and do it right. My vision is for an America that dominates the future. We have the best economy, the highest standard of living, the safest and most beautiful cities. And by the way, when I say safest, our cities are going to hell right now. Our cities are going to hell, we're gonna fix our cities. We're gonna work with Democrats that have destroyed our cities, but we'll work with them and we're gonna get our cities back, we're gonna bring our country back. And we really were the freest and the most ambitious, most dynamic nation ever to exist on Earth and we're gonna get that back again. Because we're not there now, we're a nation in decline. You know it, we know it, doesn't sound nice. But it's okay because we're gonna bring it back, we're gonna bring it back fast. Right now, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing what's happened. Even today when you look at what we just said, that would never have happened if they respected our country. If we don't embrace crypto and Bitcoin technology, China will, other countries will, they'll dominate. And we cannot let China dominate, they are making too much progress as it is. And we want them to be successful, I don't want China to be successful, but we have to be the most successful, that's what's gonna happen.

Stand before you today, filled with respect and admiration for what the Bitcoin community has achieved. It's incredible actually. I sort of say to my sons, it's like incredible because they know so much about it and so they're so aware of it much more so than people that are a little bit older. But I say this is the steel industry of a hundred years ago. It really is. I think you're just in your infancy. I can see it happening. In just 15 years Bitcoin has gone from merely an idea posted anonymously on an internet message board to being the ninth most valuable asset anywhere in the world. Can you believe that? Is that right? That's a big deal. Think of that. It's already bigger than ExxonMobil. Soon it will be surpassing the entire market cap of silver. It's not bad. How about gold? How about gold? Let's go gold. And one day it probably will overtake gold but based on the way it's going now it could very well be a possibility. There's never been anything like it and I don't think you've ever seen anything like it and most people have no idea what the hell it is. You know that right? So what happens when they figure it out? That's going to really be something. Bitcoin is not just a marvel of technology. As you know it's a miracle of cooperation and human achievement and a lot of relationships that are formed.

Hello, Bitcoiners. Thank you very much. Hello. It's good to be with you. It's good to be with you. So Secret Service just told me, "Sir, we'd like a little more time." I said, "You take all the time you want. You can take two hours, three hours to hell with the people that have been waiting out here." But I'm sure they don't mind either. But it is a great honor. And a lot of things are happening in the world. We just heard, you probably heard, that Israel was just attacked, very severely attacked, and Hezbollah looks like. And this is things that won't happen. I mean, you just can't, they have to respect us. They have to respect, they cannot do this. They cannot do this. What they did just now with that attack is terrible. Just happened. And so to all, God bless everybody. This is so serious. They have to respect our country. This would never have happened with us. And we just cannot let it continue. So we just wish them all a lot of luck. This happened to us as I'm walking on the stage. You probably, most of you have heard about it, but it just, it's a terrible thing. But I'm thrilled to be here in Nashville to become the first American president ever to address a Bitcoin event anywhere in the world.

trying to look part of this movement and it's not just a moment it's a movement standing on the shoulders of the movements before part of this has to be about changing the system rehauling the system upending the system and and and so that piece of it you're right under this attorney general i have no hope for it being implemented but God willing he will be out of that office shortly and then we need to have a requirement that that office do the right thing going forward so then if you're for overhauling where do you stand on defund the police right so here's the thing defund the police the the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety and when you have many cities that have one third of their entire city budget focused on policing we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety if for too long the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street well that's wrong because by the way if you want to look at upper middle class suburban neighborhoods they don't have that patrol car they don't have those police walking those streets but what they do have they have well-funded schools what they do have is home ownership high home ownership rates what they do have are thriving small businesses what they do have is access to public health and mental health services so this whole movement is about rightly saying we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities.

As a senator, Harris was ranked number one most far left Democrat in the entire Senate. And that includes Bernie Sanders, do you believe that? She is more liberal than Bernie Sanders. I didn't think you could get more liberal. She is substantially more liberal. Remember, defund the police. I want to defund the police. Now all of a sudden she says, oh, I'm tough on crime. Nope. You always go back to where you came from. She makes Bernie Sanders actually look like a moderate. You don't want that. You can't have that. Look, we can't -- we're not going to survive. I'll tell you what. If she does win this election because of any -- whether it's cheating or any other way, it's impossible to believe somebody can say, let people come into our country. And, I mean, these people that are coming in are rough. The only thing good about -- they're so dangerous and so bad, they make our criminals look like very nice people. That's the only thing good about them. She supports free government health care for illegal aliens, abolishing ICE, decriminalizing illegal immigration. Do you believe it? Mass amnesty for illegals, banning fracking. No more oil drilling. We don't want any more oil. We want everything to be run by wind. We'll put a windmill on the top of our car. She wants to outlaw private health insurance. A lot of people have private health insurance. They want to keep it that way. It's phenomenal. She wants to defund the police, forcibly ripping guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens as vice president. She even cast the tie-breaking vote to cut Medicare by $237 billion, your Medicare.
