Do not confuse campaign promises with actions once in office. One of the biggest things Bitcoin has taught me is that proof of work matters and empty promises do not.

Put another way: fiat is talk, #Bitcoin is action.

You can't fix the system from within the system. If you could, it would already be fixed, instead of more bloated and corrupt than ever. That's why we need to keep building in parallel and use our growing power and influence to force the system to change with relentless outside pressure.

Politicians won't build the future we want to see. That's up to us. nostr:note19u80m8lcq0q8czkmjlkh9udnp690scru3v5t74kx4d2k8m04gkwq4pc3ya

yeah,

when did we get lazy and look to the state to cause or even help hyperbitcoinization? Wall St was always gonna "F" with it... meh. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy NGU but that will also happen organically, we don't need a conference (even with a keynote from a president) to get where we're going. Simply securing and custodying one's own keys is unique enough in the 2020s

inb4 - Coinbase gets 6102'd before the 20s end.

All good. Most of us kept receipts.

Trump reminds me of that old Daniel Webster quote - “There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”

He is in this for himself and himself alone, but don’t take my word for it. The vote at the voting booth means far less than how you spend your time and labour, so vote by stacking sats. If he’s telling the truth and makes good on every election promise, you win. If he’s lying, you win.
