 Everything bitcoiners want to happen within the Trump administration, needs to happen in the first 2 years.

This is the moment where “the state” can help bitcoin and align itself with freedom tech and culture. 

If it doesn’t happen within Trump’s 2-year mandate, we’re gonna be fighting the state for years to come.

 But people in state are greedy and want to pump their bags.

 I don’t disagree. But we have this window where the recently elected leaders of the state can align themselves with freedom and sovereignty by embracing bitcoin and the result will weaken the influence of a more antagonistic state in the future.

We have an opportunity to enact real change within the institutions as they exist. I’d like to make the most of this opening.

 Eliminate the income tax and capital gains taxes entirely, along with the amount of government spending that is funded by these, and that would go a long way.
