In a bold move that could redefine the American financial system, former President Donald Trump announced that, if re-elected, he plans to authorize cryptocurrency as the default method of payment for goods and services across the United States. The proposal, which marks a dramatic shift from traditional banking practices, would prioritize digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum over the U.S. dollar for everyday transactions.
