Good night ✌️🧡
I waffled between voting or not throughout the early voting period, decided fuck it I'm gonna vote Trump for his Bitcoin stance, and missed my chance to vote on tuesday because I was pulled out of town for a family emergency. That vote would have just been another pebble in the landslide, but I regret not being more decisive sooner when I had the chance. This is after almost a decade of voting democrat because the idea of voting republican was literally un-thinkable, in the Orwellian sense.
I have a feeling that Bitcoin's influence will make elections a lot more meaningful and sane moving forward as all political parties worldwide realize that they have to support it and it's holders to survive. If so, I will put in the effort to vote more proactively moving forward.
Can you explain to me how using the broken voting system to fix other broken things is supposed to work, because I'm pretty sure I can't change my brakes, if all my tools are broken....
We lose with any side we pick. Just like with using fiat.
Opt out. Buy and save in bitcoin.
Politics are composed of people who need to win majorities in public votes to maintain their positions. If all of those elected have to fight for the support of long term Bitcoin holders who value freedom above all else, I can't see a system where totalitarianism runs as rampant as it does today.
What I'm thinking of isn't so much using politics to fix things, but the adoption of Bitcoin creating a more self sovereign voting base to limit the power of politicians.
