When the pandemic hit in 2020, the DJ and personal trainer Jonnie King stopped getting booked for gigs and workout sessions. So he turned to trading crypto, which was rapidly increasing in value at the time. 'I was like, Oh my god, there's hope for me. I can make money while stuck at home,' he says.
King is now a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, due to Trump's own recent embrace of crypto. 'Crypto is how I save my wealth, and if [the Democrats] are trying to attack that, that's literally taking my money away from me. How am I supposed to support my family?'
For years, both during his presidency and after, Trump expressed distrust in crypto. But leading up to the 2024 election, Trump has done an about-face and lavished praise onto the technology.
