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.
比特币(加密货币:BTC)牛市和银河数字首席执行官迈克·诺沃格拉茨开玩笑说,在共和党挑战者与卡玛拉·哈里斯进行总统辩论之后,前总统唐纳德·特朗普可能会退出白宫竞选。
发生了什么:周二晚上,诺沃格拉茨上场了 X,暗示共和党全国委员会和副总统候选人参议员万斯(俄亥俄州)正在决定取代特朗普。
这个笑话是对他认为特朗普在辩论中的惨淡表演的回应,哈里斯显然在辩论中 “完胜” 了他。
尽管如此,由于六个关键州的竞争非常激烈,左倾的民主党人仍然不确定选举结果。他说:“我不确定这会改变我的看法,即我们将在选举之夜睡觉,却不知道获胜者。”
“RNC现在正在与JD Vance会面,以取代特朗普” ——一位朋友
她熏陶他。
我不确定这会改变我的看法,即我们将在选举之夜睡觉却不认识获胜者。我们的选举将在即将结束的六个州决定。

另一位著名的比特币倡导者马克斯·凯泽也参与了这场辩论,他引用了歌手兼词曲作者伦纳德·科恩的标志性歌曲《人人都知道》中的台词。
“每个人都知道好人输了。每个人都知道战斗已经解决了。穷人保持贫困,富人致富。事情就是这样。每个人都知道。”
修复已经出来了。趁你还能搬到萨尔瓦多。#Debatenight
“每个人都知道骰子装满了
每个人都手指交叉地滚动
人人都知道战争结束了
人人都知道好人输了
人人都知道战斗已经解决了
穷人还是穷人,...

为何重要:无论选举结果如何,诺沃格拉茨都支持两党加密货币立法,他说:“我知道,无论谁赢得下次选举,我们都将获得积极的加密立法。”
这位亿万富翁大亨认为,除少数例外,大多数民主党人 “相当支持创新和支持加密”,并支持哈里斯竞选活动,为该行业制定有利的政策。
关于特朗普对该资产类别的积极倡导,诺沃格拉茨说:“我不是一个单一问题的选民,这表明加密货币支持并不是他政治选择的唯一决定因素。
在90分钟的辩论中,两位候选人就经济状况、生活成本和堕胎等重要问题争论不休,尽管比特币和加密货币没有被提及。
价格走势:根据Benzinga Pro的数据,在撰写本文时,比特币的交易价格为56,447.82美元,在过去24小时内下跌0.53%。
