 Bitcoiners, like Libertarians, often obsess over ideological purity while missing the bigger picture: politics is about power, not principles. 

Trump doesn’t need to ‘get’ Bitcoin.

He needs to disrupt the system.

Purists want saints, but history is moved by sinners who break the game.

 Franklin Roosevelt Banned the personal ownership of gold.  It was illegal to own gold from 1933 until about 1972.  This was done by executive order.  1 person made that edict enforceable.

Kamala can do a lot of damage via RULES from SEC, OFAC (office of foreign asset control), CFTC,  IRS, and treasury (treasury oversees all of those). Gary Gensler is next in line to take Janet Yellen’s job.

My concern is most bitcoiners don’t understand how bad it could get.
