 Man, I would love to believe that.

My view is more along the lines of bitcoin is strong enough that even Trump can’t fuck it up , especially if his deal was just shitcoining or general ignorance, versus active suppression like we’ve had under the current blue team.

As much as I’d like to think Kamala Harris is good hearted/intelligent/whatever enough to come around to bitcoin, my bayesian priors prevent me from doing so. 
 and your priors for trump..?  

do they tell you he’s trustworthy & intelligent?  ofc not.  

he’s ~literally~ a v bad, horrible person, in every single aspect you can list.

…& he’d sell out america to any dictator to put a measly sum in his bank account.

if you say trump would be irrelevant to the acceleration of bitcoin, then kamala would be too.  but there’s a huge difference in that trump is an extremely unworthy bafoon.

& kamala ~is~ obviously intelligent & cares.  once she becomes well educated on bitcoin, she wouldn’t be able to deny its importance.

it’s crucial that the right people speak to her—respectable, mature bitcoin leaders.

she will want to support it.  the arguments are too strong, and some of them would also pull at her heart strings.

trump will harm america in general.  and his shitcoining will poison the minds of many & cause more unneeded chaos with how people understand bitcoin. 
 If she wins:  i hope you’re right.

Not my take, but I don’t begrudge ya!

PV 
 i hope so too.
