 The Dems aren’t serious, but they’ve pushed their base so far left that their rhetoric has to reach into these psychotic places and that leads the usual apologists and talking heads to show their true colours.

But if it did somehow come to pass, I’m confident my chaos theory would be much closer to reality than whatever the supporters envision would happen. The market distortions would be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

I make a point about the game theory of #Bitcoin going parabolic - the early HODLers sitting on thousands of coins are disproportionately black flag anarchist types, we’ve never seen those type of people amongst the upper echelons of the financial elite. If they truly believe Bitcoin could free us from Statism, what might they do with that wealth? 

Are the key holders protecting the Blackrock ETF safe in that world where there’s a multi-Trillion dollar bounty on their heads, 1 block away from permanently and irrevocably being under someone else’s control?

A scenario of taxing Billionaires like this who already have those levels of wealth might be more manageable for the parasites, but by how much? Only takes 1 or 2 well funded rogues who calculate they’ve got more to gain flipping the table than playing by the new rules..
