<nettime> Crypto_colonialism


Hi all,

During his speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Donald Trump pledged: “If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted and made in the USA.” He wants to make America “the crypto capital of the world” promising industry-friendly policies.

In 2025 crypto investors, companies and executives contributed to help Trump win a second term. Coinbase has support Trump with $49 millions, Ripple has given $47 millions, Jump Crypto has put in $15 millions, and the Winklevoss twins put in $5 millions. On February 2025 President Donald Trump signed an executive order to promote the advancement of cryptocurrencies in the U.S.

I updated some diagrams to the project ["An altas to track Crypto-colonialism"](https://escuderoandaluz.com/2024/04/10/an-atlas-to-track-blockchain-colonialism/)

Hope you like it!!
