Trump argued that hesitation to embrace change is nothing new. He shared a story about a friend who dismissed Bitcoin only to see his own bank adopt it shortly afterward.“People are slow as hell to adapt to new technology,” said Eric Trump. “We’re going to see banks have to adapt. Governments will adapt. Those who embrace this digital revolution early are going to be the ones who win.”Trump called Bitcoin a “global asset” that protects against uncertainty and disruptions, highlighting its decentralized system as a better alternative to the costly inefficiencies of traditional finance.“Bitcoin is a store of value,” added Eric Trump. “It’s a hedge against inflation. It’s a hedge against political turmoil, political instability, acts of God, hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes. That’s what makes it so powerful.”“I am confident that Bitcoin is going to hit $1 million,” he said.NEW: Eric Trump just delivered one of the most bullish #Bitcoin speeches ever in the capital of the UAE "America is going to lead the digital revolution" pic.twitter.com/dsyPWQiguI— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) December 10, 2024This post Abu Dhabi’s Sovereign Wealth Fund Reveals $408 Million Investment In BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF first appeared on Bitcoin Magazine and is written by Oscar Zarraga Perez.
