There’s a few reasons why this is actually the BEST way Trump could’ve closed his talk:

1. He’s the incoming commander in chief of the most important country in the world. He should be focused geopolitics and the big deals that need to be made for global sanity and stability - not on stupid bitcoin minutia.

1b) this is why I don’t like RFK. He’s simping way too much for Bitcoiners. He doesn’t have the presence or strength to take on the globalist shitfest. And certainly doesn’t have the balls to strengthen the US against other powers (Russia, China and globohomo).

2. It’s not a leaders job to micromanage & get in the way. In fact, I’d be worried if he was more interested in bitcoin. His job is to be aware, and delegate that to someone more interested and competent.

3. Bitcoin is STILL YOUNG!! I know some of you are naive enough to think we’re getting mass adoption this decade, but I’m sorry - we’re a 100yrs away.

Not only do we need to the space to build, which benefits from such a posture (good luck with your little bitcoin thing), but more importantly, bitcoin needs time to grow and mature BEFORE governments of any kind take it more seriously - let alone the United States of fucking America.

I have other reasons too…

But I’m hungry and want to eat dinner. TBC…

If his approach is really hands-off and lets us build, then I agree it's a big win. I don't expect this to happen. When he starts getting inflation because he is a big spender, he will turn on Bitcoin. We shall see, though. I am working on being more optimistic because being a pessimist all the time is not fun. Vivek and Lummis after showed they are more educated on it so hopefully that's who Trumps trusts in handling Bitcoin policy.

#2 has been in my head for months.

He’s 💯 not winning

He’s also one of the dumbest amongst us.

When I say “us” I mean all 8 billion on earth. He’s definitely in the lowest 1% of intelligence on earth.

And the good thing is that Trump doesn’t really care about it and won’t care about it except insofar as it permits him to grab what he can of an utterly free block of voters. It’s net positive I think.

Only one idiot in my feed ranting about how great trump is after his conference appearance.

The nostr algorithm is truly awesome. Thanks devs.

Really good point you bring up, especially point #2. The fact that he acknowledges its existence is a big deal. Best thing he can do is make sure government doesn’t get in the way and let the free market do what it do
