If you don’t think there’s a list somewhere with your name on it as well friend then I’m not sure you’ve been paying attention. Me and you? Same boat. Whatever may come. Let work to make that outcome a positive one.
Ya u right, I just really struggle with anything political because for the past 40 years pretty much every standard of living metric in the US that matters has declined. Over that 40 years, the one constant seems to be giving more power to governing bodies, as well as just an overall increased focus in anything political, and of course money printing. I guess I’m just kinda a “burn it down slowly” kind of guy but I do get that we can’t really protect ourselves without allies.
We have to be adults and build bridges
If we could truly get an administration that wanted to make BTC legal tender and also build a strategic reserve, and align their incentives with an individual holder……I think America would really separate itself as the innovator of the world and blow everyone out of the water with the amount of intellectual talent that would flock here. I think we have been slowly losing this talent lately. But it just doesn’t seem like any political figure, aside from maybe Lummis, that would even get in the ballpark of that sort of plan. Until then it seems to me that a grass roots, bottom-up movement that sneaks up on them and then forces them to join us due to our scale, is still the route to success. It’s what’s gotten us this far.
