Eric Trump Drops Bitcoin Bombshell at Consensus 2025: A Mining Play That Could Reshape Crypto Politics
Trump Jr. storms the mainstage with a surprise Bitcoin mining initiative—just as regulators sharpen their knives. The move reeks of political theater, but the hash rate doesn’t lie.
Here’s the playbook: Leverage stranded energy assets (read: those failing oil wells Daddy couldn’t unload) to power mining rigs. Because nothing says ’free market’ like subsidized fossil fuels propping up decentralized finance.
The real kicker? A pledge to ’mine America first’—because apparently, proof-of-work algorithms now pledge allegiance. Cue the Wall Street eye-roll: another rich kid playing with OPM (Other People’s Mining rigs).
