I would say using rhetoric like “red hats” does nothing to heal the (largely social media driven) divide the country faces - esp if you are actually seeking input from the other side. We are all Americans getting fucked equally the same, by (largely) the same people. Let’s start seeing each other as such and stop playing the identity politics game (this includes myself and past rhetoric). Definitely continue to speak up against what you believe in though. We need more open dialogue!
Credit where credit is due. Though I am curious about who we gave up in return (haven’t followed). Can’t forget the 1-1 trade the same admin made between a WNBA player who brought weed into Russia and The Merchant of Death. As for Assange- obviously incredible, I do wonder what the plea deal was though.
Lastly, not sure how the Bitcoin ETF would have anything to do with the admin? The SEC was essentially forced into approving it because they got sued by Greyscale, right?
You can hate Trump all you want, I have no problem with that. But you can’t deny how hostile this administration has been towards Bitcoin and cryptography.
Everything you’re saying is true. In all honestly I was probably lashing out a bit due to the overall Trumpist-right egdelordism that seems to have taken over the bitcoin space, at least online, following the bitcoin conf.
BTCMedia is hitching their wagons to clowns and perhaps wants to envisions itself as the social gatekeeper to the “Bitcoin vote” which, while we might really really want it be a thing, imo is not an actual thing. Believing it is just makes a lot of us feel better and more empowered - but will just lead to political abandonment later when politicians figure this out.
I’ve watched a lot of bitcoiner’s jump on the bandwagon like something amazing and transformative has happened all for a greasy turd dud of a conference (again my opinion) that lead to a bunch slanted and politicized media coverage of our community.
So in sort, my problem not anyone else. Appreciate you calling me out 🤙🏿⚡️🧡💜
Ayeee. It’s has definitely been wild to see- I get where you are coming from. I guess everyone is just losing it since this is the first time any major candidates have spoken about it. Trump clearly showed the world he doesn’t know a damn thing about it 😂 (but maybe it can Trojan horse through).
BTCmedia lost me when they started shitcoining but I guess the conference/site/mag is a net positive in the grand scheme. Any press is good press!
Bitcoin {should} be 100% apolitical in the partisan sense. It’s weird the libs have been so hostile considering all of the ways it can fix the problems they see in the world. But… at the very root, Bitcoin it is THE political as Cason speaks about.
You da man nostr:npub1th6p84x9u5p4lagglkvm8zepa2dq4s9eanp57vcj4w5652kafads7m930q - my rants and unchecked opinions get floated on here too. I hope you will keep me in check as well 🫡
