On Sunday's much-anticipated podcast episode, presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke with host Joe Rogan for three hours, but cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin were not mentioned once.
This controversial topic has been brought up more frequently by both Trump and Kamala Harris as Election Day approaches. Harris' recent attempts to win over black male votes backfired among the crypto community.
Some people were quick to point out that Her administration has failed to develop concrete cryptocurrency regulationsInstead, they are alienating top companies with seemingly baseless lawsuits.
Meanwhile, Trump has made a clear attempt to rally the Bitcoin community. He has participated in several NFT collections, most recently. Crypto Project World Liberty Financial. Mr. Logan has spoken positively about Bitcoin and NFTs in the past.
Therefore, participants of the crypto betting platform Polymarket believed that: Trump and Logan were up to 50% likely to mention cryptocurrencies. Or Bitcoin during a podcast.
Why didn't that happen?
President Trump's latest cryptocurrency project has been a huge failure
World Liberty Financial may be the first company a former U.S. president has endorsed for a project that promises to break the stranglehold on traditional financial institutions. But despite President Trump's promotion, the project failed almost as soon as it launched.
As of Friday, less than 5% of its token offering had been sold, and the 20 billion tokens sold was significantly less than what the project had originally promised. Further issues plague the project, ranging from fraud to technical issues to centralization issues, and it has become clear that the project is mired in: Trump's opaque money grab.

So it's perhaps understandable that Mr. Trump and Mr. Rogan chose to avoid the issue altogether. As it turns out, Rogan also appears to have distanced himself from cryptocurrencies in recent months. In an episode released three weeks ago, he called cryptocurrencies “weird, fucking imaginary money.”
But Polymarket investors were right about other topics. Mr. Trump's mini-concert at McDonald's was mentioned.Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trans Issues, with Aliens.
