Melania Trump’s tweet also mentions the market cap of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exceeding $1 trillion (although the leading cryptocurrency is currently valued at $882 billion). The community was caught off guard by Trump’s sudden support for Bitcoin and they were very surprised.
But as we announced last month, Melania Trump stepped into the world of NFT by announcing the “Melania’s Vision” NFT in collaboration with Marc-Antoine Coulon. The former First Lady added the hashtag #MelaniaNFT to her celebratory tweet, reminding the crypto community that she is entering the NFT industry.

Donald Trump Thinks Bitcoin Is A Scam
Although Melania Trump supports Bitcoin, her husband Donald Trump is known for his harsh criticism of BTC. Along with the First Lady’s message, community members want her husband to change his stance on crypto.
In an interview with Fox News in June, former US President Trump called Bitcoin “a scam” while calling for tougher regulations on cryptocurrencies. Trump reiterated his negative views on crypto in his most recent interviews.
