Washington D.C. witnessed a unique and controversial spectacle this week: a massive 12-foot golden statue of former US President Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin was unveiled outside the US Capitol on 3rd Street. The timing coincided with the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut, linking the statue’s symbolism to broader financial debates.
The installation was funded by a collective of cryptocurrency investors who say the goal is to provoke discussion about the future of digital assets and their growing influence on global finance.
Hichem Zaghdoudi, a spokesperson for the group, stated: “This installation is designed to ignite conversation about the future of government-issued currency and is a symbol of the intersection between modern politics and financial innovation. As the Federal Reserve shapes economic policy, we hope this statue prompts reflection on cryptocurrency’s growing influence.”
The artwork has attracted large crowds, with some praising it as a bold symbol of the rise of crypto, while others criticized it as political spectacle. The combination of Trump’s populist image and Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos makes the piece a powerful—if divisive—statement.
The statue’s unveiling also comes at a time when Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are increasingly being discussed in the halls of power. With the Federal Reserve moving to adjust monetary policy, the future of digital assets—and their role in the global economy—is a subject of heated debate.
Whether viewed as art, protest, or promotion, the golden Trump statue stands as a striking representation of how technology, politics, and economics are colliding in today’s world.

More than 25 years ago, while working at British Telecommunications in Leicester, UK, I would often see the word “Andalusia” flash on my screen when handling calls from southern Spain. To me, it was more than just a place—it was poetry, romance, and mystery. For decades, Andalusia remained a dream.
That dream finally came true this spring when I sailed aboard the MSC Virtuoso to Cádiz, one of Europe’s oldest cities.
Stepping ashore, I felt the pulse of Andalusia in its plazas, where locals lingered over coffee and tourists admired its colors. The magnificent Cádiz Cathedral, with its golden dome rising against the Atlantic sky, captured both the city’s grandeur and its seafaring history.
From the Torre Tavira watchtower, I looked out over centuries of maritime legacy, while down by the sea, the Parque Genovés offered quiet charm with its shaded pathways and exotic plants.
What struck me most was how Cádiz embraced its past while living vibrantly in the present. I touched the orange trees, listened to the hum of its plazas, and felt the warmth of its sun.
For 25 years, Andalusia had been only a word — exotic, distant, elusive. In Cádiz, it became real, alive, and unforgettable. This was not just a journey; it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
