 I would love this, but the lack of response from the US to the human rights abuses in the UK makes me skeptical.

 it will take time but I do see a difference between what US politicians do about UK politicians mistreating their own people and what Bitcoiners do about politicians mistreating Bitcoiners.

If Trump follows through with his campaign promise to free Ross, it would mark a major milestone in Bitcoiners fighting politically for our own on a national stage. It only snowballs from there.

 I don't think he will. I want to be wrong on this.

 to @erikcason's point, even if Trump reneges, our negotiation power keeps growing along with our understanding of how to channel it effectively. All this makes our next move far less easy to back out of.
