I think he's amazing. Unfortunately, a third party candidate just doesn't have much of a shot in America which has been co-opted by the two party system where you get the same thing dressed in different clothes. Pretty sure betting markets last week had Michelle Obama with a higher shot of winning than RFK... It is quite unfortunate as he actually gets bitcoin, put in the effort to learn about it, and committed his own capital to it. Trump seems like he was more reading some lines that were fed to him and honestly seemed surprised at some of the things he read from the teleprompter. I have heard that he simply came because he was paid to show up (not sure if that is true or not). Hopefully if he does get elected, he puts into place someone who actually understands bitcoin. But honestly, I was underwhelmed even by Vivek's talks, he seems like much more of a 'crypto' & 'blockchain' guy than someone who understands anything about bitcoin.
