Whether you care or not, it is beneficial to bitcoin and bitcoiners around the world to have more protections for bitcoin as a medium of exchange, privacy and self-custody baked into U.S. law (in addition to bill or rights and constitution that we *think* should be interpreted to protect this).

That involves lobbying with and holding lawmakers accountable, in a bi-partisan way. Congress must act, and this is much more important than even who is president in terms of bitcoin advocacy. Of course, close second is the executive branch and treasury, CFTC, and SEC.

I don’t think it’s beneficial to anyone to drive more partisan division by trying to invest in someone’s campaign who is purely self-motivated, flips against anyone and anything on a dime, and doesn’t give a damn about rights, but rather their own shitcoin collection (re. David Bailey supporting Trump’s campaign).

I focus a lot on Dem and progressives lawmakers because that’s my thing (and I’m a progressive and know them and their motivations well), and more of them are against bitcoin than the other side, regardless of the reason. We should approach bitcoin and advocacy in the U.S. as holding ALL lawmakers accountable and standing up for our rights, not requesting them or cheerleading for a political candidate who says crypto good purely because the other side says crypto bad. It makes us look like idiots.
