There will be more and more such actors on the political stage who want to take advantage of Bitcoin and its characteristics of decentralization and self-regulating money system to gain power on the political stage.

One can observe this development both in the United States, e.g. Ron DeSantis or RFK Jr. are good examples, and in Europe. These are the so-called rat-catchers of Hammeln! Their only interest and goal is to collect votes to win the elections, nothing more nothing less.

Actually, the Bitcoin opponents, those who publicly reject and even fight Bitcoin, are much more sympathetic to me

than these hypocritical politician leeches.

I fail to see how Javier milei want to make something legal is being leech

Usually making things illegal is what leech do. Just like war on drugs that never really actually solve drug problem

No matter who the president is, I personally see it as a win when the state have less say on what is ok and what is not ok for the citizen to do

I agree that making things illegal can have negative consequences, as seen in the war on drugs. However, the problem with Javier Milei's proposals is not the idea of increased individual freedom, but rather the potential impact on society as a whole.

For example, one of Milei's proposals is to abolish the minimum wage, arguing that it hinders economic growth and job creation. While it is true that a lower minimum wage may make it easier for companies to hire more workers, it also leads to a reduction in wages and a potential increase in poverty.

Another good example of dishonesty and also recklessness towards social outsiders and accepting collateral damage instead of working out real solutions for the public is Milei's proposal to legalise the sale of human organs. While it is true that legalising the sale of human organs could potentially provide financial benefits to those in need, there are also significant ethical concerns to consider.

Legalising the sale of human organs could create a market-driven system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy, who have greater access to healthcare and resources. This could lead to the exploitation of vulnerable people who may feel pressured to sell their organs to make ends meet.

There are also potential risks to the safety and well-being of both donors and recipients. Legalising the sale of organs could lead to a black market operating outside ethical and medical guidelines, increasing the risk of infection, injury and death for both parties.

Finally, legalising the sale of human organs raises the broader ethical question of whether it is morally justifiable to treat the human body as a commodity that can be bought and sold.

As I have written, Milei's proposals often lack consideration for marginalised groups and their needs. In conclusion, while it is important to consider individual freedoms in policy making, it is equally important to consider the potential impact on society as a whole and to ensure that policies are fair and inclusive.

As for the " leeches ", perhaps I used the wrong noun here. It may also be because I have lost confidence in politics in general, hence my attitude. Whether rightly or wrongly, the future will tell.

I think you should compare countries that have minimum wage Vs countries that don't have minimum wage and see which one have higher wages and better living standard, like Singapore and Sweden.

Making things illegal just means people will find ways to do it illegally instead, or not being able to do it which may put them at disadvantage too.

If it's legal and you don't agree with it, simply don't participate in that particular market

Having it being legal will actually reduce black market and make it easier to monitor and regulate
