Subnostr

Decided to watch Trump's speech at Nashville. Normally I don't bother listening to long political speeches.

Overall it was a good speech, with several relevant and important points. His Bitcoin reserve ideas seem to be within the realm of the possible and not extremely outlandish.

Removing taxes on tips fits well with his pro-Bitcoin message.

As I heard him say that, I could almost hear him say: "You can play with your ZAPS on Nostr as much as you want and it will labeled tips and it will not be taxed or registered".

Perhaps I am jumping to conclusions here but I think that this interpretation is not a far stretch, if tips becomes tax excempt

A related matter is that if zaps are not taxed, then there is no reason for the state to monitor them. The reduction in surveillance would be a victory in itself. (We can still expect the EU and Laggarde to attempt maximizing surveillance and KYC/AML)

Trump's positivity to crypto was upsetting for many bitcoiners. Yet, a president is supposed to be inclusive and show support for individual liberties and property rights. Trump signaled that he is a defender of rights. He spoke out against "repression of Bitcoin and crypto". That is a powerful message to his voter base.

We can say as bitcoiners, well crypto is harmful. Yes, it is. But we say this with the conviction of experience and insight. Trump does not have this insight, yet. And even if he did, his job is to reassure voters that free markets is the standard that he is operating by. (If we for a moment ignore the fact that no nation is yet a true free market, technically, due to the presence of central banks)

The most important aspect for me is the opposition to CBDCs. We already knew from game theory that nations will have to stack Bitcoin. It was a matter of time.

I hope Trump will reward Vivek Ramaswamy with an influential position in his administration. Vivek dropped out of the election gracefully in order to not divide the votes, showing both strategic ability and integrity.

Avoiding a Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren government, with continued warfare in Ukraine, repression of private property rights, DEI policies, CBDCs and full speed on the UN Agenda 21 madness, avoiding these risks to liberty is vital. Climate alarmism and Agenda 21 is at the heart of the deep state and Trump's energy policies is akin to holding a crucifix, garlic, and a sloped roof against it. Vampires shall not pass

#RFK understands, for now, #bitcoin as a monetary entity better than Trump, but #Trump understands Bitcoin as an industry much better.

1. Bitcoin demands vast amounts of energy.

2. Trump clearly understands this and have very credible thoughts about how to get to the enormous expansion of energy generation that is needed to be successful in bitcoin and AI.

3. RFK HATE nuclear power. And he is FULLY on the #climatescam and is not positive towards expanding the ”drilling”. So he has NO credible plan for expanding the energy generation in a way that is sufficent.

With that in mind: Who of the two REALLY understands #Bitcoin ?

Trump understands the basal requirements for a thriving industry; CHEAP ENERGY.

RFK has NO credible(well maybe in LaLaLand) path to cheap energy, Trump has.

And JD Vance, Trump’s highly intelligent VP is already a bitcoiner by the way.

Good points Hans.

RFK jr once said that he is "the acolyte of Al Gore". (There's a video clip, easy to find) And this is not an overstatement.

RFK jr has aligned strongly with the UN Agenda 21, while Trump - against the odds - signed the US *off* from the Paris climate accord 7 years ago, which incidentally, probably caused much ot the deep state attacks on him. The attacks have been relentless after that, basically 24/7. Biden signed the US back on to the Paris climate accord on his first day in office. It was a big deal for the deep state.

Then Trump stood up at the WEF in Davos and spoke out against the socialist climate alarmism policies and condemned them completely. How many other presidents have openly defied the global deep state like this.

In regards to RFK jr, I still have issues with his statement that he wanted to jail critics of the climate agenda. I don't know if he still have this opinion or if he still consider himself an acolyte of Al Gore, I hope he has grown and changed his mind, yet my trust for him is limited. And in relation to the 2nd amendment and gun rights, RFK is scary. On energy he is a disaster.

More people in the Bitcoin space should think about this obvious flaw in his Bitcoin policy. It all becomes impossible 🤷

Trump on the other hand understands this very well, because he is grounded in ”thinking simple”; ”what requirements must be fullfilled if we want to reach this goal? Ok. Then we must fullfill these requirements so that we can get it done”.

He was a very successful builder who always did the job on time, or before.

Yes, I hope no Bitcoiner thought that RFK jr's policy promises were doable. It's understandable that the person siting on the bench watching the game and have no chance of winning the game will come up with the idea: I could outbid the real players who have a chance of winning so that I seem like the better option, in spite that I can't fulfill the promises.

Yes but I have seen many, many bitcoiners (according to themselves PureBlooded Bitcoiners!) professing that they’re voting for him. Max Keiser has been very vocal about it too. In my view a quite unintelligent, unpragmatic (but ”principled”😇) take.

And one more thing: These Pure RFK-bitcoiners obviously think it is ok if Ross rot in jail for the rest of his life. But I’m sure they feel good about themselves anyway.

Sure, they are free to waste their votes and benefit the Kamala Harris side. I just don't get it personally.
