 You misunderstanding completely. 

Trump is very cozy with tech monopolists like Musk, Fink, and Thiel.  He even picked Thiel's right hand man as his VP.  These men want to co-opt and control Bitcoin.  They do not want Bitcoin to be used as an open, decentralized currency.   They want it to be behind KYC controlled exchanges, and dollarized behind stable coins.  They are 100% against our agenda, and we must oppose their attempts to change Bitcoin and neuter it's revolutionary power.

 I am leaning towards this being the case.

 Trump is the wallstreet candidate, they want him to be selected, hes not our buddy. Ithink thats accurate, they want to regulate the whole cryptospace.

 One of my favourite conspiracy theories is that the PayPal Mafia invented bitcoin as a long term project (which now has a life on its own), but needed PayPal to make short term gains and establish digital payment as a option in the minds of the people.

 Elon and I have had personal differences and he plays hardball well. I'm still not pleased with the outcome but I respect him for his tactics. After a while they just wanted me to go away, LOL!

 I wouldn't be shocked.

But they made it open source, so we don't HAVE to let them centralize it.  We can take it whatever direction we want.

 Money equals Power.
The American empire is controlled by a oligarchy. This oligarchy has its own rivalries. I wouldn't wonder if bitcoin was invented and/or seeded by one group of oligarchs as a blow against another group of oligarchs (maybe entrepreneurs against land owners).

 So you are trying to tell us the Bankers are acting as if they are against Trump so Trump can influence the people? That's some mental gymnastics. 

Wouldn't it be more probable that Trump has been supporting "crypto" for years now if anyone cared to pay attention. I used "crypto" as a generalization due to his new or limited understanding of the currency. 

Please tell me why he hung the last President that removed the Central Bank to his left shoulder in the Oval Office? 

Some of us have been watching for decades.
