The American rapper Kanye West made world news yesterday when he announced that he was running for the 2020 presidential election in his country. While no one knows if he’s serious, it is top trending news and very good news for Bitcoin because Kanye is a huge fan. Meanwhile, a well-known crypto billionaire, Brock Pierce, also ran for the presidential election.

A strange 2020

2020 is becoming stranger by the day. Anyone who predicted a global pandemic in combination with Australia on fire and Kanye West as president early this year was likely to be declared insane.

American rapper Kanye West announced on social media that he is running as a candidate for the presidential election. One of the first to declare his “full support” was Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The two men have about 50 million followers on Twitter alone, you can imagine how quickly the news spread from one day to the next.

Many wonder if Kim Kardashian’s husband (who would become a first lady) was joking or not. Others, especially in the Democratic party, already fear that he would split the black vote and make it harder for Joe Biden to win the upcoming elections in November.

Kanye says:

We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States.

Fan of Bitcoin

Known as a fan of Bitcoin, Kanye recommended to decentralize to all of his followers back in 2018. With Elon Musk by his side, this duo could be very good news for the crypto world.

Earlier this year, he criticized the design of the new $ 20 bill and said he would much rather have Bitcoin.

Brock Pierce

Brock Pierce, the co-founder of EOS Alliance and a well-known crypto billionaire, quickly followed Kanye’s lead and also introduced himself as an independent candidate for the presidential election scheduled for Tuesday November 3th.

Another crypto believer, billionaire John McAfee, also said earlier this year that he is thinking about running for president.
