While I like some of the things he says, he is only SAYING them, just like every politician before him. Promise you the world, and rug you when you vote them in. Don't ever trust a politician.
Incredible to see a US presidential candidate eloquently speak on a citizens right to:
- self custody Bitcoin
- run a node
- mine & not be discriminated against as an end user of energy

I feel the feelings behind what your saying but isnāt it a little impractical?
We have politicians.
Some are better than others.
I think if more people voted and the better politicians rose to the top, things could be better.
Yeah, you stick with that belief. If you just vote harder things will change. If voting changed anything, it would be outlawed. The only thing putting someone else in charge of you has ever done is take away your freedom. You can't vote your way out of tyranny.
I didnāt say āvote and do nothing elseā
No you didn't say that, and I didn't say that you did. But you have indicated that you believe in validating the system that discounts your freedom on a daily basis. I choose not to validate that system.
I donāt think voting is validating the system. Itās not like if everyone chose to not vote, they would say āthatās it, current system is invalidated, letās make a new oneāā¦.
The reality is weāre in the system weāre in, and voting is a (small) way each person can have some small bit of power to influence things.
Do you know in some places the percent of people voting is like 20% ? That means a small group of people is deciding things for everyone else.
Has a politician ever done something you liked? Some politicians have signed pro bitcoin laws - I like that.
So participating in the system isn't validating it? Ok. š¤£
Canāt you disagree with the whole system and also vote? Thatās all Iām saying
Let me answer that with a question. If a stove didn't work to cook food, would you still try to use it to cook food?
I donāt think that analogy works well.
What about this one:
Youāre a passenger in a plane and people are deciding to choose who should fly the plane.
As Jeff booth says itās the entire system is broken so all though we may have some trust in this person.. the system he is in is screwed so ultimately he wonāt have as much impact as he says or wants.. overall this candidate has great intentions but we carry on build communities and keep educating as best we can..
