Bitcoiners should be embarrassed that the largest global conference that represents this industry has turned into a giant Trump rally. Hitching your cart to a malignant narcissist is a very bad look, and it eclipses all of the hard apolitical work that has been done up to this point and still needs to be done to further adoption.

Why should bitcoiners be embarrassed? Maybe Bitcoin Magazine. Bitcoin Mag and its conf are not bitcoin. I'm not Trump fan or supporter but RFK is also speaking. I'm sure they would have allowed Biden or Harris to come as well if they were saying they support bitcoin. Bitcoin is bigger than politics and those that are getting bent out of shape because a political figure, scum bag or not is courting bitcoiner's support; they are gonna have a big problem with bitcoin as it become more accepted by normies. Its for enemies. Any good money is gonna be used by people you don't like. Additionally in the past it was not uncommon for movements that weren't overtly political to have politicians from multiple parties come and speak. The only people IMO that have a legit beef about Trump speaking would be anarchists. Where we are going we don't need politicians.
Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin explain how Trump is working with Peter Thiel (Vance) who's company Palantir developed facial recognition technology that made Jan 6 protesters easy to recognize, leading some of them to still be in prison today. What do we learn about Trump? He works with people that will completely fuck over his own supporters. The surveillance structures being built by those close to Trump (and the Democrats - it's just the uni-party after all) are to identify dissidents of both the right and the left. And the icing on the cake? Gossip is that Trump is considering Jamie Dimon as US treasury secretary. Rest assured, Trump will completely fuck over bitcoiners when elected. It will make is easier that all the conference goers will have their faces scanned and cataloged so they can be at the top of the shit list.
How do you think #Coinbase #Kraker #Binance and such became so big and things like #Bisq remain so small after so many years in operation?! Most #Bitcoiners - including most so called OGs and maxis - are just "Bitcoiners" for the #NGU in fiat terms: they are just pumping their bags same as any of the "suits" on Wall Street and in #WARshington. #decentralization
Seems like people with TDS get very emotional about this. Trump bad, so anything he does is bad. There are 2 options in this election. One hates Bitcoin, the other used to be against it and now says they love it. How do you know a politician is lying? Their lips are moving... Still when one says they are going to fight against Bitcoin and the other says they might BUY Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset... As a Bitcoiner that should excite you. Don't allow your TDS to cloud your judgement. If you care about making the inevitable happen faster, Trump is the clear choice. I am a single item voter. Who is more Bitcoin friendly? Everything else is noise
What have the Democrats done to warrant crypto support? From what I can tell, the SEC under Biden has behaved in a extremely corrupt fashion, extorting billions out of the crypto industry even as they provide regulatory moats for their cronies. Several crypto OG's have been caged (Ver, Tornado Cash devs, Samourai wallet deves). Operation Chokepoint II is well under way, and almost all crypto-friendly banks have been shut down. Many crypto services have moved out of the US and/or refuse to serve US customers due to the predatory Democratic-controlled state. Why should the Democrats stop attacking us, unless we punish them in the voting booth?
Just remember, Donald Trump is a businessman, plain and simple! Sure he’s made some mistakes, but will probably will go down in history as one of America’s greatest presidents! Personally, I don’t care for the man’s ego and personality, but he has been able to run circles around his competition, Republican or Democrat, Capitalist or Communist! And he has done some great things. Pray for the man if you do pray, will definitely need it if the Democrats win the House and Senate! πŸ”₯βœοΈπŸ™πŸ˜Ž
