Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump participated in a roundtable discussion at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. They slammed the traditional financial system and strongly advocated for U.S. policies supporting cryptocurrencies as well as their own digital asset business, highlighting the Trump family's growing ties with the cryptocurrency community. They urged the audience to buy Bitcoin and touted the merits of their decentralized financial platform World Liberty Fi. Critics worry that the first family's embrace of the cryptocurrency industry could pose a conflict of interest.
Eric Trump spoke first: "We are introducing Bitcoin to the United States, and the United States will win this cryptocurrency revolution."
Eric talked about how the whole world is eager for Bitcoin, and most companies have encountered problems when purchasing Bitcoin because the demand is huge and the supply is small.
“Everybody wants Bitcoin. Everybody’s buying Bitcoin,” Eric said.
Eric reiterated that his interest in cryptocurrency came after experiencing the trials and tribulations of the traditional financial system, including the bank takedowns. “I mean, my accounts just stopped working,” “You realize how corrupt the system is… the system has been weaponized.”
“I don’t like to use the word ‘hate,’ but honestly, I’d love to see some of the big banks go under because, honestly, they deserve it,” Eric added.
Eric believes that cryptocurrency is the antidote to corruption. “It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, more transparent, and it makes the whole system more efficient.”
“The whole system was broken, and now all of a sudden here comes cryptocurrency and it solves everything,” Eric commented. “It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, more transparent, and it makes the whole system more usable.”
“I’d love to see some big banks go under, because honestly, they deserve it,” “You take out $500 and you’re put on some terrorist watch list.
“Every day, people are throwing billions of dollars into Bitcoin. You know, 0.1 Bitcoin is going to be worth an absolutely ton of money,” Eric said, noting that demand for the hard-capped currency is already outstripping supply.
“BTC prices are going to go absolutely parabolic over the next 10 years. "Eric believes that the future BTC price will reach $170,000.
Trump Jr. mentioned the $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury. "True Social and TMTG, announced yesterday, pledged to inject $2.5 billion into the Bitcoin treasury. So, the trifecta of cryptocurrency is what we are doing, which is to achieve world freedom through the DeFi platform. We are very bullish on cryptocurrency. "
Trump Jr. predicts that the BTC price will be between $150,000 and $175,000.
