I'm just gonna put this out there, because it's been bothering me for a while, and no one will read this anyways, but it's something that has to be said:

Just because a politician is pro-Bitcoin, it doesn't mean that they are good for Bitcoin.

Believing in, and being honest about sound monetary policy is an important, maybe even fundamental, position to hold as a politician, but it doesn't have the emotional or rhetorical weight required to win elections.

Politics is a game that distorts reality, where earnest and reasonable policy positions don't matter at all, except perhaps as keys to unlock access to niche voting blocks. Broad electability stems from the media narrative that emerges from a more or less manufactured consensus.

So if your whole media persona is based on fringe nonsense, embracing of the opposition's distorted caricature of the party you chose to run under (and their money of course), and otherwise "I'm not like other politicians" contrarianism, you've already lost the game before anyone learns about your platform.

No politician will ever actually be good for Bitcoin, so it's time to stop trying to latch onto any one who claims to be, especially the ones who are an absolute embarrassment and disgrace without ever being close to electable.
