Pretty wild that three presidential candidates* have come out in support of bitcoin in less than a week
*yeah, I know. They’re politicians

I’m not surprised with Kennedy
I donated bitcoin to Gary Johnson in 2015. In hindsight, it was a waste of sats.
I might send Kennedy some sats just because he is the first person to accept them, but I don't vote anymore because I think the cypherpunks had the right idea.
We cannot expect governments to help us by redressing our grievances. We can't stop governments, both foreign and domestic from interfering in elections.
In 2016, the blue team did not trust the results.
In 2020, the red team did not trust the results.
To me, cryptoanarchy is a game theoretical way of achieving freedom as defined by the smallest of minorities-- the individual.
A woman who wishes to buy an abortion pill can do so with bitcoin and send it to an abandoned house.
A man who wants to buy an AR-15 can do the same.
Freedom, even the freedom of speech, must be taken, no matter what the results of an election are.
Not voting is smart
They will all be pro Bitcoin soon. They just don’t know it yet.
