Judging from the other responses I can say that Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well. If the man has spoken about Bitcoin in a positive way and he's hiring Bitcoin people in his cabinet then maybe he doesn't need to understand Bitcoin the same way that I do. It took me 11 years to understand Bitcoin, sound money and I'm still broke.
But here's a receipt from his son on Truth Social. The discussion is happening and people who get pissed off at a president who is initiating the discussion while also positioning people to take care of themselves, keep more of their earnings and protect their values without government intervention. I don't seriously believe that everyone needs to understand the school of hard knocks without actually doing anything.
I've made so many dumb mistakes as a Bitcoin pleb because I actually use Bitcoin, run a full node, run lightning and I FAFO. The same with computers in general. But I didn't raise a family like Donald Trump. I didn't build multiple businesses. My children are not interested in any work that I've done. I didn't help many people along the way who want me to be successful. So for this I appreciate what Donald Trump has done and built.
For instance the McDonald's that he did his publicity stunt was a franchise owned by a friend of his. I don't eat McDonald's food but I definitely appreciate the work and sacrifice that a McDonald's franchise owner goes through to build up a big business. Donald Trump understands this, too.
We need business people who are successful in the Fiat system to be successful in Bitcoin as well. Once the denominator of wealth is */21,000,000 then economics because more scientific instead of gibberish in USD. https://image.nostr.build/0514bbc4fe3ea87cc8dc1e8282b76cbd7ebcee37856645254148dbeba0de7004.jpg
