 Trump is on the record advocating for negative interest rates, has a history of directly pressuring the fed, and will want to prove “his” economy is superior to Bidens.

It looks like they are going to try to kick the can past the election, which means an ungodly amount of money will need to be printed in 2025. NGU and Freedom Go Up are intertwined because people will have an incentive to protect Bitcoin and self custody as everything else collapses around it.

Both of their policies around storing twelve words in your head are irrelevant to 99% of us.

 I know that the fight is beginning but to be honest there is still hope in America. All that has actually happened so far is two people arrested and one website seized. There is still a chance that they win in court and escape conviction, setting a precedent that their activities should be allowed broadly.

I’m not betting on that, but now is not the time to panic. Just time to prepare for worse potential actions.
