Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bull and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz joked about former President Donald Trump's potential exit from the White House race following the Republican challenger's presidential debate with Kamala Harris.
What Happened: Novogratz took to X Tuesday night, insinuating that the Republican National Committee and vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) were deciding to replace Trump.
The jibe came in response to what he believed was a dismal show by Trump at the debate, where Harris apparently "smoked" him.
That said, the left-leaning Democrat remained unsure about the election outcome due to close competitiveness in six crucial states. "Not sure it changes my opinion that we will go to bed election night and not know the winner," he remarked.
"The RNC is now meeting with JD Vance to replace Trump" — a pal
She smoked him.
Not sure it changes my opinion that we will go to bed election night and not know the winner. Our election will be decided in six states that are gonna be close.

Another prominent Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser also weighed in on the debate, quoting lines from singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen's iconic song, "Everybody Knows."
"Everybody knows the good guys lost. Everybody knows the fight was fixed. The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. That's how it goes. Everybody knows."
The fix is in. Move to El Salvador while you still can. #Debatenight
"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor,...

Why It Matters: Novogratz has thrown his support behind bipartisan cryptocurrency legislation, regardless of the election outcome, stating "No matter who wins the next election, we're going to get positive crypto legislation, I know that."
The billionaire tycoon argued that most Democrats, with a few exceptions, are "pretty pro-innovation and pro-crypto" and backed the Harris campaign to come up with a favorable policy toward the industry.
Regarding Trump's active advocacy of the asset class, Novogratz said, "I'm not a single issue voter, indicating that cryptocurrency support was not the sole determinant in his political choices.
The 90-minute debate saw the two candidates spar over issues of importance such as the status of the economy, the cost of living, and abortion, although Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies failed to get a mention.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $56,447.82, down 0.53% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
比特幣(加密貨幣:BTC)牛市和銀河數字首席執行官邁克·諾沃格拉茨開玩笑說,在共和黨挑戰者與賀錦麗進行總統辯論之後,前總統唐納德·特朗普可能會退出白宮競選。
發生了什麼:週二晚上,諾沃格拉茨上場了 X,暗示共和黨全國委員會和副總統候選人蔘議員萬斯(俄亥俄州)正在決定取代特朗普。
這個笑話是對他認爲特朗普在辯論中的慘淡表演的回應,賀錦麗顯然在辯論中 「完勝」 了他。
儘管如此,由於六個關鍵州的競爭非常激烈,左傾的民主黨人仍然不確定選舉結果。他說:「我不確定這會改變我的看法,即我們將在選舉之夜睡覺,卻不知道獲勝者。」
「RNC現在正在與JD Vance會面,以取代特朗普」 ——一位朋友
她薰陶他。
我不確定這會改變我的看法,即我們將在選舉之夜睡覺卻不認識獲勝者。我們的選舉將在即將結束的六個州決定。

另一位著名的比特幣倡導者馬克斯·凱澤也參與了這場辯論,他引用了歌手兼詞曲作者倫納德·科恩的標誌性歌曲《人人都知道》中的臺詞。
「每個人都知道好人輸了。每個人都知道戰鬥已經解決了。窮人保持貧困,富人致富。事情就是這樣。每個人都知道。」
修復已經出來了。趁你還能搬到薩爾瓦多。#Debatenight
“每個人都知道骰子裝滿了
每個人都手指交叉地滾動
人人都知道戰爭結束了
人人都知道好人輸了
人人都知道戰鬥已經解決了
窮人還是窮人,...

爲何重要:無論選舉結果如何,諾沃格拉茨都支持兩黨加密貨幣立法,他說:「我知道,無論誰贏得下次選舉,我們都將獲得積極的加密立法。」
這位億萬富翁大亨認爲,除少數例外,大多數民主黨人 「相當支持創新和支持加密」,並支持賀錦麗競選活動,爲該行業制定有利的政策。
關於特朗普對該資產類別的積極倡導,諾沃格拉茨說:“我不是一個單一問題的選民,這表明加密貨幣支持並不是他政治選擇的唯一決定因素。
在90分鐘的辯論中,兩位候選人就經濟狀況、生活成本和墮胎等重要問題爭論不休,儘管比特幣和加密貨幣沒有被提及。
