I'm not simping for any politicians.

I did not buy any Trump coins and I have zero intention to.

Why does it bother you so much? It has ZERO impact on bitcoin. In fact I'd argue it's a net positive for bitcoin as it will get people to create wallets and those funds will eventually flow to bitcoin.

Why do you think you get to decide what people buy with their money? Trump didn't force anyone to buy it.

Some bitcoiners are all for freedom until it goes against what they believe.

And you're calling me pathetic? Resorting to insults shows how insecure you are on this topic in general.

100%. No shit coin has ANY impact on #Bitcoin.

You will NOT stop the gamblers from gambling. I refuse to join the crowd, so just watch it all for entertainment. It does make me feel for those that get sucked into the entire crypto world. But this is cultural, you won't change these people - they will die stupid/broke. Again, as you say no one is forcing them.

(BTW - I believe gambling, especially state sponsored gambling, should be illegal - as it has been in EVERY moral culture throughout civilization - gambling is a symptom of a failing culture - and a fiat disease actually)

As we know - #Bitcoin fixes this eventually.

I agree excessive gambling is a bad choice. No way in hell it should be against the law for a free person to gamble.

Well, I agree - fewer laws the freer we are.

Where we draw the guard rails will ALWAYS be a debate.

What harms others? What systems take advantage of others? How/were do you draw the line?

To your point - if we have REAL money. Which should drive REAL education and literacy (it always has) 'maybe' we fix the culture of gambling without a law against it?

What if people truly understood the impact of gambling? Would we even have a problem requiring a law?

Probably don't need any laws in a truly educated, enlightened world. So, I agree with you - but it's very hard!

Taking it to extreme. Murder does not need to be illegal in a Bitcoin world. Why? Because everyone knows it's wrong, so it never happens. Of course excluding mentally ill - but even THEN - what if real money fixes that too?

See where this goes? Sounds utopian, but maybe we are getting ready to enter a world of enlightenment like humanity has never seen?
