Eric Trump’s Bitcoin Bet: Why 0.1 BTC Might Be Your Golden Ticket

Another day, another bold crypto prediction—this time from a Trump. Eric Trump just threw gasoline on the Bitcoin hype fire by suggesting that holding a mere 0.1 BTC could be life-changing. No specifics, no timeline—just the classic ’get rich’ promise that fuels both Lambo dreams and skeptical eye-rolls.

The 0.1 BTC Thesis: Pocket Change or Powerball?

At today’s prices, 0.1 Bitcoin won’t buy you a private island—but the Trumps aren’t known for understatement. The claim hinges on Bitcoin’s potential to ’moon’ (crypto-speak for explosive growth), turning what’s now a modest holding into a nest egg. Or at least covering a month’s avocado toast.

Wall Street to Crypto Bros: ’Hold My Yacht’

Traditional finance types will scoff—after all, this is the same crowd that still thinks ’blockchain’ is a gym accessory. But with Bitcoin repeatedly defying gravity (and skeptics), even 0.1 BTC might be worth the gamble. Just don’t mortgage your house—unless you’re into financial adrenaline.

Bitcoin’s High Price Sparks Doubts

A lot of people now wonder if they’ve already missed the boat. With one bitcoin costing over $100K, even 0.1 BTC costs around $10,770. That’s still a big chunk of money. Some potential investors are backing off, thinking that small amounts aren’t worth much anymore.

Arnold addressed this during the panel, saying many feel discouraged when they can’t buy a whole coin. But Donald Trump Jr. said that’s the wrong way to look at it. “People thought Bitcoin was too expensive when it hit $1,000,” he said. Then it was the same at $10,000 and again at $50,000. To him, it’s more important to just start somewhere and learn as you go.

Small Investments Lead To Bigger Interest

Trump Jr. explained that owning even a little piece of Bitcoin makes people more likely to pay attention to the market. That curiosity, he said, often leads to more learning and deeper involvement.

Eric Trump added that everywhere they go—from the Middle East to Europe and Asia—they see strong interest in Bitcoin. He mentioned that both big corporations and wealthy families are trying to get in. According to him, even sovereign wealth funds and private offices are getting serious about Bitcoin.

Eric also pointed out that it’s becoming harder to find Bitcoin on exchanges. He said he spoke with Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, who told him over-the-counter desks are running low on Bitcoin, even as demand keeps rising.

This shortage could drive prices even higher. Eric believes this is another reason why 0.1 BTC could hold serious value down the road. “People want Bitcoin,” he said, “and they don’t want to sell it.”
