Oddbean new post about login | logout Political leaders don't need to be knowledgeable about everything. They must capably protect the homeland, allow citizens the freedom to pursue good, and not impose evil. It’s obvious what the choice is in the US this year.
Yep. Assuming you're talking about Trump, I wish he was just slightly more orange pilled.
I don't think any US politician will be truly orange-pilled until we're on the brink of defaulting on our debt. Until then we just need someone to not get in the way. I'm hopeful that JD Vance, a Bitcoin holder, will prevent Trump from doing anything stupid.
True. If the left wins the presidency this time, I fear not only will building on Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining, be severely impeded in this country, but much worse can happen. Is a libertarian conservative I would much rather have a Ron Paul, Rand Paul, or Thomas Massie, but we’re not gonna get that this time. And maybe never. I’ll take no new wars. I’ll take drilling and pipelines. I’ll take a stronger border. I’ll take FreeRoss Ulbricht. And I’ll take pardoning the J Sixers. All of which, IMO, benefits, the bitcoin network.
