Jailed cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried praised on Sunday President Donald Trump’s foresight in recognizing the potential of both cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
SBF Praises Trump’s Crypto, AI Push
Bankman-Fried, popularly known as SBF, reacted to Trump’s remarks at the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit in Miami last week, where the president described Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) as “very powerful” and said that many people now prefer to pay using cryptocurrency.
“It’s not just people who want to pay you in crypto, increasingly it’s AI agents. Crypto is the future of AI-native payments,” SBF brought in the agentic payments angle.
He added that Trump is the “first president” to foresee the strategic potential of both crypto and AI.
