GM. If you are excited about Trump's participation in a conference, something went wrong with your bitcoin learning curve.

Incredible research by @Troy Cross proving a very interesting fact. Activism in #Bitcoin is often influenced by very clear values, but ownership is not. Bitcoin ownership is extremely heterogeneous and covers moderates, conservatives, liberals as well as different religions, races, social classes, economic classes, educational degrees, etc. Find here the whole research by The Nakamoto Project: 📄.pdf

Bitcoin Magazine stands to #Bitcoin as the mainstream media stands to mainstream information. Both represent reality in a distorted way and following logics of political interest far from the only interest that should matter: that of readers. Until a few months ago, Bitcoin Magazine's line was clear: the “Bitcoin candidate” - literally defined as such - was Robert Kennedy Jr. But then it was realized that Kennedy was going nowhere in the election. Especially when he withdrew from the Democratic primary to run as an independent presidential candidate next November. Btc Inc. lobbying was then redirected to the favored candidate for eventual victory: Donald Trump. One who wrote in 2019, “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money and whose value is highly volatile and based on nothing.” Today he makes statements such as “Bitcoin mining could be our last line of defense against a CBDC.” The result? Today in the United States the image of Bitcoin is associated with The Donald. There is only one problem. Bitcoin is not compatible with Harris or Trump's values. Bitcoin is not compatible with the values of a political party. Bitcoin is not compatible with the values of representative democracy. Bitcoin is an expression of the prevalence of the values of private property and individual freedom over all others. The rest is derived from pure logic. But this is too complex for the legacy media: which is why mass information is a cancer to be eradicated.

Everyone recognises the inefficiency and damage caused by monopolies. Why do so many demand that fundamental sectors such as education, health and security be run as monopolies?

Just tried to orange pill a restaurant in Madeira. The owner told me: “I’ll buy #Bitcoin when it goes back to $25k.” Yeah, HFSP I guess.
