 Pretty sure every pro bitcoin politician either doesn't understand what bitcoin means for the State, or is simply a liar.  
 "Hey young campaign staffer, your task is to make crypto people like me in November!  Go!"

It's a little funny because for a few years around 2010, many normies would be taking on huge career risks (at the time) entering the bitcoin space of gambling & drugs.  That emvironment quickly matured, for normies.  For politicians though, every fuckimg thing at any time is a career risk, but addressing them is their job.  The result is a very amusing set of mannnerisms & behaviors...like I dunno... projecting support or authority with hugely unearned confidence over a thing an intern "studied" for a couple days on their behalf 🤣

I wonder if Lummis can actually work a coldcard? 🤔
