 I don’t think Trump’s team realized how important this speech was. 

For many people, it was their first time listening to a full speech from Trump. 

This wasn’t just another speech. Sadly, his team treated it like any other speech. 

Missed opportunity.

RFK seems to be the real bitcoiner 
 So true. 
 Massively disappointed. Could never vote for a rambling fool like this.  
 What? You didn’t love the “btc jobs in USA” and “you won’t have to go to china” lines? LOOOOL 
 This is true. I’ve never heard a full speech from him and this is just moronic gibberish. RFK gets it. 
 I was waiting on the reactions before listening to the speech, now I will definetly not listen to it 🤣 
 For me it was.. Cringe.

Not surprised at all. 
 Are we really surprised 😂🥲 
 🎯 
 Yea was too much like a political rally speech. He is talking to a different breed of people.  Politic speech is just rambling to us. 
 To be fair I think that’s rambling to most human beings, it doesn’t take some special knowledge to see that. 
 🎯 literally the first time I’ve listened to him where it’s not just a sound bite. What an embarrassing joke 
 💯

 TOLD 
 Someone should get fired. Publicly. Like he threatened to do to Gensler.

 Perfectly said..!
I am a European who sat down with anticipation to hear him for the first time... Very disappointing speech, a lot of politics unrelated to Bitcoin and a lot of mentions of "crypto"... 
 RFK jr ain’t no bitcoiner man. He’s just a bit smarter and his talking points are more polished. They’re both Zionist scumbags. Both can fuck off.  Bitcoin doesn’t need any of them. 
 Is this Sirhan Sirhan? 
 That would be fucking insane if Sirhan Sirhan is on nostr

Btw do you have proof Sirhan Sirhan is guilty of anything but being picked as a scapegoat for a deep state op? 
 Good point. He was MKUltra, no? 
 You're using the word "Zionist" like it's a bad thing. 😃 
 Ya, just like I use the “Nazi” like it’s a bad thing. 
 Well, it must suck to hate yourself.  
 Max, I consider you as the real bitcoiner. I consider plenty of people in this community as bitcoiners. I don’t need the public conversion of a politician. For me personally the work the you put in your videos and experiments are a thousand more worth than any speech from them. 
 I agree with you but I don’t think RFK is a true bitcoiner. He just did his work. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 No plans, just vague promises and saying he won’t sell the current gov stash. That’s not even pro bitcoin, that’s pure status quo. Blew it. Only one speech in and he’s already a massive disappointment 😂

At a minimum a pro bitcoin candidate will have:
1) no cap gains on bitcoin 
2) self custody fortified 
3) addition of bitcoin to reserve 

One could hope and dream:
4) bitcoin UBI (public works mining)
5) back USD with bitcoin 
 Don’t trust in any politicians . Bitcoin works now and will work in the future just as it was intended. 
 His team almost definitely did, but Trump is notorious for being difficult to coach or prep with talking points, and is known for discarding 80%+ of his pre-written speeches and opting to go off the cuff instead. 

There is a guy named Mike Benz who used to be a speechwriter for trump (I believe he actually spoke at the conference this year himself) who has recounted stories of occasions when Trump would actually communicate positions that were at times directly antithetical to the positions articulated in the speeches he wrote.  

Ironically, one of the issues he was supposed to address in a pre-written speech was to expose and condemn Big Tech for partnering with NGOs and intelligence agencies to impose widespread censorship programs, but instead Trump winged the entire speech, and gave high praise to the tech industry saying "MAGA stands for Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon".  This ultimately was weaponized against him and his voter base, and became a major determining factor in shaping the outcome of the 2020 election. 
 OK, it's Triple Maxi against the Dollar then. 
 that’s who I’ll be voting for.😁 
 He can’t help himself. But let’s look on the bright side. We all dreamed of the moment our conviction becomes a weight to turn elections. 
 So true. It was my First Trump speach. And i did Not make it to the end. It was Just terrible. Enough Said. 
 This was a very good take.
