The statue depicting Trump holding a Bitcoin coincided with the Federal Reserve\u2019s decision on Wednesday to cut its key interest rate by a quarter point, with projections of two more reductions this year amid growing concerns over the nation\u2019s labour market.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\">According to some reports, \u201cOrganisers said the piece is intended to provoke debate about the future of digital currency, monetary policy, and the federal government\u2019s role in financial markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Bitcoins Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"2\"><strong>Social Media Reaction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\">Netizens were quick to react to the statue.
