Can real estate mogul and United States presidential contender Donald Trump make bitcoin great again?
A satirical Twitter account called Trumpchain doesnât quite answer that question, but it does offer an amusing take on the controversial figureâs bid for the White House.
The profile, described as a bot âthat mixes Donald Trump speeches and tweets with comments from /r/bitcoinâ, has undoubtedly become a vehicle for a bizarre mix of comedy and humor as it relates to the bitcoin space.
From the block size debate to Chinaâs bitcoin mining ecosystem to Bitcoin Classic and Core, the parody account offers a level of commentary that is at times both crass and eyebrow raising â in good humor, of course.
Among the topics is China and Iran, which Trump often invokes during his campaign rallies.
We canât let Iran get blockchain technology. We canât do it. Canât do it. We cannot let that happen.

They wonât accept it. Iran has. And theyâre going to buy bitcoins.

Theyâre building a blockchain technology island in the middle of the South China sea. A blockchain technology island.

Another popular Trump topic â the border between the US and Mexico â also receives a fresh take via Trumpchain.
I will end 1MB blocks and protect our borders! We need to MAKE THE BLOCKCHAIN SAFE & GREAT AGAIN! #Trump2016

Trumpchain also wades into his âopinionâ on Bitcoin Core, as well as the alternative implementations Classic and XT.
Bitcoin Classic. Oh, Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Classic. Everything is Bitcoin Classic. What happens? Nothing.

They want to work, they want to make the blockchain great. I love the people of Bitcoin Core. So thatâs the way it is. Very simple.

Hearn told thousands of miners that Trump was strongly in favor of Bitcoin XT and âchoiceâ â a total lie!

At other times, Trumpchain touches on other topics of interest in the bitcoin and blockchain space.
I have a great relationship with the sidechains. Iâve always had a great relationship with the sidechains.

Remember, I am self-funding my bitcoin wallet, the only one in either party. Iâm not controlled by lobbyists or special interests
