I would submit that understanding the current MAGA push towards the SBR requires two references: Leo Strauss' concept of the "esoteric vs exoteric" and Daniel Krawisz's 2014 essay "Bitcoins Subtlety and Allure."

The Exoteric message of the MAGA SBR-booster: "The is a good thing for America [in the abstract]. It will help pay off our debts, and I am promoting it based on patriotism and love of country."

The Esoteric message: "I will personally profit from Bitcoin's future rise through my connections with a historically corrupt and incompetent administration."
