 Don’t be fooled by the short-term noise, Bitcoin doesn’t need politicians, politicians need Bitcoin.

Regardless of who wins the elections today in the U.S., the monetary result remains the same: the fiscal deficit stays, debt issuance to cover the deficit stays, monetization of bonds to cover the debt stays, and the deterioration of citizens’ wealth through the silent tax stays.

There’s no way to stop this process anymore, and if you trust politician A or B to save you from impoverishment, then you still haven’t understood how the world works.

Those who don’t suffer from this dilution (the cantillionaires) just keep watching the monkeys fighting each other, wearing their favorite politician’s shirt, hoping someone will save them, while they run the show behind the curtains.

Salvation is individual, and Bitcoin is the truth in all of this. There are no elections to decide who controls the protocol.

The monetary policy of the network is already set, love it or leave it.

Don’t be confused by the short-term noise, the math is the same.
