The irony of seeking permission for a permissionless tech. It seems like there are 2 angles to this - your store of value possibly increases if you sell your soul in return, or you could reach out to as many people globally and increase bitcoin as its usage of money. The former is the shorter path, the path frequently taken, the path many are comfortable with. I’m presuming Trump will say “vote for me and in return i will impose favorable laws, buy bitcoin as global reserve asset or a strategic US Treasury asset, next digital gold, boost institutional investments etc” There is no guarantee that he will do any of it, but by the time you find out it will be too late. That's how politicians win every time. It is what it is.
