Viral Video of Trump Unveiling Bitcoin Whitepaper at White House Turns Out to Be Fake
Yo, President Donald Trump’s recent viral video unveiling a Bitcoin Whitepaper in the Oval Office got everyone talking. 😱 The video, circulating all over X (formerly Twitter), had people in a frenzy as it seemingly showed Trump proudly displaying a Bitcoin whitepaper portrait, with FOX News correspondent Sarah by his side. Crypto Twitter went wild with excitement, with some calling it a huge step for crypto in the U.S. under Trump’s leadership.
But hold up, fam—turns out it’s all fake news. 😤
The Truth Behind the Viral Video
The video that set the crypto world on fire was actually a doctored version of a Fox News segment. The original footage, from The Ingraham Angle, actually showed Trump showing Sarah the United States Declaration of Independence, not a Bitcoin whitepaper. Yikes! 🙅♂️
How Did This Get So Big?
So, how did this massive misinformation spread like wildfire? The answer: Crypto handles jumping in to share the video without checking facts. One of the first major accounts to post the video was Kraken, a prominent crypto exchange in the U.S., which tweeted:
“Wait, hollup… #btc white paper spotted at the Whitehouse!?”
This led to tons of people sharing the video with cryptic posts and fueling the misleading narrative. 😳
The Spread of Misinformation in Crypto
This situation shows how tough it is to combat fake news in the crypto world. Misinformation, manipulated media, and overhyped narratives often run wild—especially when they play into the sensational side of crypto. This incident highlights the ongoing challenge of separating truth from hype in a space that’s already known for its volatility.
