It's the other way round - the us election has become a(nother) bitcoin Trojan horse operation.

If trump brings bitcoin fully into the global financial system without the decade of conflict I was expecting before government capitulated, then anything else he might do is completely irrelevant - and anyone who cares about humanity should root for him and do anything in their power to bring about his election

That’s quite a big if though…

I think if US officially hodls bitcoin as a reserve asset that would substantially establish it as part of the global financial system forever, and that doesn't feel far fetched at all.

Just as good and a bonus would be if he actively advocates to protect its free / private use - and reverses the trend to criminalization etc, and again that doesn't feel unlikley if he gets in.

I don’t disagree that if he speeds up adoption that would be a good thing, but it is an if. And, since mass adoption is a when and not an if, are the side effects of Trump as president and everything that goes along with that worth increased adoption speed?

I don’t know the answer but I think it’s a valid question.

Well since the alternative is another deep state warmongering stooge then yes

Wouldn’t it be nice if those weren’t the only options.

Imagine what if would be like to vote for the best candidate rather than the least bad.
