At the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump participated in a roundtable discussion. They fiercely criticized the traditional financial system and strongly advocated for US support of cryptocurrency policies and their own digital asset ventures, highlighting the increasingly close ties between the Trump family and the cryptocurrency community. They urged listeners to buy Bitcoin and heavily promoted the advantages of their decentralized finance platform World Liberty Fi. Critics worry that the first family's embrace of the cryptocurrency industry could lead to conflicts of interest.
Eric Trump: America Will Win the Cryptocurrency Revolution
Eric Trump spoke first: "We are bringing Bitcoin to America, and America will win this cryptocurrency revolution."
Eric discussed how the world is eager for Bitcoin, and most companies face challenges when buying Bitcoin due to high demand and low supply.
"Everyone wants Bitcoin. Everyone is buying Bitcoin," Eric said.
Eric reiterated that his interest in cryptocurrency emerged after experiencing the trials and tribulations of the traditional financial system (including bank closures). "I mean, my accounts were shut down," "You realize how corrupt this system is... this system has been weaponized."
"I don't like to use the word 'hate', but honestly, I would be happy to see some big banks collapse, because truthfully, they deserve it," Eric added.
Eric believes that cryptocurrency is an antidote to corruption. "It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, more transparent, and makes the entire system more efficient."
"The entire system has collapsed, and now suddenly there's cryptocurrency that solves all problems," Eric commented. "It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, more transparent, and makes the entire system more practical."
"I would be happy to see some big banks collapse, because truthfully, they deserve it," "You take out $500 and you're put on some terrorist watchlist."
"Every day, people are investing billions of dollars in Bitcoin. You know, 0.1 Bitcoin will absolutely be a huge amount," Eric said, pointing out that the demand for this hard-capped currency has exceeded supply.
"BTC price will absolutely be parabolic in the next 10 years." Eric believes the future BTC price will reach $170,000.
Trump Jr.: Achieving World Freedom through DeFi
Trump Jr. mentioned the $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury. "Yesterday, True Social and TMTG announced a $2.5 billion investment in the Bitcoin treasury. So, the cryptocurrency trio is what we're doing, which is achieving world freedom through DeFi platforms. We are very optimistic about cryptocurrency."
Trump Jr. predicts BTC price will be between $150,000 and $175,000.
