And yet they do. Why? Because they can. Why? Because they want to tax and control you. Why? Because they love power. It’s a hell of a drug.

this was from RFK jr's speech yesterday. while i disagree on the largest bitcoin conf turning to a political rally which defeats the fundamental principles of bitcoin as permissionless tech, nor can we gauge what happens after being elected, this speech was excellent.
It showed that he understood the bitcoin ethos and surprisingly answered the many questions put out here on nostr, on market and social reform. Also very refreshing not to hear a bitching war or emotional triggers by presidential candidates amidst some opponent tease - the entirety of the speech was sound knowledge and passion for the people.
Won't be surprised if he has been checking nostr out and listening to the feedback here. give it a listen
I did listen to RFK’s speech, it was A+. Too bad he has slim chance of winning. Maybe Trump will put him in his administration to dismantle some of the three letter agencies. Trump’ speech much less impressive but still %100 better than anything Kamala will propose.✌️
RFK’s speech was tailored to bitcoiners. Trump’s speech was a rally for shitcoiners.
Agreed
herein lies the problem. democrats and republicans have gotten so used to using race and gender as a way to trigger emotions instead of solving real problems.
democrats say 'minorities are persecuted', republicans say 'immigrants are going to steal your jobs' - and both triggers angst and madness among people.
But are anyone talking abt market reforms and social reforms in terms of business creation, skillset development, improving quality of education and reducing cost, equitable healthcare ? Nope. That's the hard work. The real work.
Conservatives, mostly midwest were screwed over because of over-capitalism right wing policies in the 80s and 90s. Individuals who ran businesses would rather globalise it than pass it to them. Today, these same individuals blame migrants for taking over the conservative jobs. And people believe it. Stockholm Syndrome ?
Democrats - same shit Create war. Create the perception of American heroes who go to war. who benefits ? who suffers ? Why do they need student loan forgiveness program, when the real problem lies in how expensive and difficult education has become ? Who benefits from education fees, wars, pharma ? Same shit.
Trump had zero substance. But got everyone to bend over backwords while saying "thank you trump" lol. So cringe to watch.
If America picks trump or DNC, its dystopian state in the making - we are all watching it real-time. And its really sad.
That, and these political rallies should not have been at the largest bitcoin conference. Bitcoin is hope and power to the people.
