 WTF is wrong with you guys there? How is it possible that your cheers were way louder when Trump pledged to fire Gary Gensler than when he pledged to #FreeRoss? 😤 

That being said, if any of you are able to vote I want to remind you that Kamala will not Free Ross, so if anything, cast your vote for Trump because he will at least: 
- Free Ross 
- Create strategic national Bitcoin reserve for US 
- Will keep 100% of Bitcoin the US owns 
- Fire Gary Gensler on day 1 
- Views stablecoins as pro dollar
- To end Operation Chokepoint 2.0
- To bring Bitcoin mining to the US
- Never allow a CBDC while he is President of the United States.

Maybe while he is president he will become a full blown Bitcoiner if we don’t give up on him, he is close… he said a few things that show me it is possible to fully open his eyes: 
• “Bitcoin is going to the moon.”
• “Never sell your Bitcoin!”
• “Bitcoin will one day probably surpass the market cap of Gold.”
• “Bitcoin stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.”
• “I pledge to the Bitcoin community that the day I take oath of Office, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' anti-crypto crusade will be over.”


The Easter egg was Senator Cynthia Lummis announcing legislation for a Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve bill for the USA, proposed to acquire 5% of the total Bitcoin supply. https://i.nostr.build/yVcsAgnpzWSHAf8C.jpg

 I'm not deep into this, but wasn't Gensler the one who was pro Bitcoin ETF and against shitcoins? That cheer confused me 
 gensler was one of 3 (out of 5) voters FOR the BTC ETFs 
 Yep exactly that's what I meant. Without his vote we wouldn't have them 
 The cheers of shitcoiners  
 His vice presidential pick highlights his inability to pick people that aren't complete skeezoids with really, really nasty ties/agendas. 

He didn't do anything good during his first term. He won't do anything the second. 

He's too used to being a CEO with pretty much unlimited power. He is terrible at trying to build a coalition to do anything more than grandstand. The political options have failed, just as predicted. 

Exit and build.  
 What if he doesn't? 😉  
 Then we better pack our bags and move to another country because it’s all gonna be fucked in the US 
 Nope. I stay and sit on my stoop with a shotgun and wait. I'm too old and stubborn and still be poor on the no fly list soon enough, so... I stay and fight.  
 You are a good man, my father said the same. He will stand on his front porch with all his guns ready to defend the America he believes in. 
 I can't tell you how wide my smile is at the moment. 😁 
 The Lummis ANN was better than the Trump TBH.  Maybe she can explain it to him. 
 Ross allowed drug selling. 
 So what? 
 He's a scumbag and a liar, I don't care what he says.  
 So what you are telling me is that you do not trust politicians but when one  talks about bitcoin he is 100% trustworthy.
Kind of strange to me.
No politician has ever solved any problem humans have had. And it will stay like that even when they talk about bitcoin. Don't be so naive. Free people are still what we need to fight for! 
 Politicians say a lot of stuff during campaigns to get voters that then they will never do… anyway… let’s see… 
 I hope that in four years Bobby Kennedy will become the new president
