Trump's Made-in-USA Bitcoin: Dependency on Chinese Giant Bitmain
Recent events have highlighted that even in the attempt to create a "Made in USA" Bitcoin, the American cryptocurrency market faces serious challenges. Former President Donald Trump, who supports ideas of national manufacturing and economic independence, has announced plans to establish a Bitcoin produced exclusively in the USA. However, his ambitions are at risk, as the largest manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, Bitmain, is based in China.
Bitmain holds a dominant position in the market, providing high-quality miners required for Bitcoin extraction. This creates a paradox: on the surface, the push for a "Made in USA" Bitcoin is, in fact, reliant on Chinese technological infrastructure. Experts point out that without equipment from Bitmain, achieving the scale necessary to sustain the American Bitcoin market would be extremely challenging.
Trump claims that creating a "Made in USA" Bitcoin will not only strengthen the country's economy but also reduce reliance on foreign technologies. However, in reality, for this initiative to be sustainable, America-centered projects need to either develop their own manufacturing or find alternative sources of mining equipment supply.
Moreover, the current situation illustrates the broader conflict between the USA and China in the tech and innovation sectors. On one hand, the USA strives for independence in critical areas like high-tech and energy, while on the other, China continues to dominate equipment production, which is essential for achieving these goals.
This moment is critical, as the threats resulting from dependence on Chinese suppliers may undermine any plans to create and popularize a "Made in USA" Bitcoin. Experts emphasize the importance of establishing resilient local technologies to ensure the long-term independence of the US crypto industry and make it competitive on a global scale.
Thus, it turns out that Trump's Bitcoin, which carries high hopes, often finds itself tied to Chinese supplies, raising discussions about the realism and attainability of these plans.
