 In my humble opinion, even if Trump wins, he won’t do shit about Ross.
Since when bitcoiners trust politicians? #asknostr

 People like they are given hope. Hope is a very strong emotion.

 But delusion is not a biblical virtue.

What i want to say is, that not much is stronger than hope.

 People advocated for an idea that found traction. He saw people getting support and brought them on-board, amplifying their voice. There are many people around him to hold him accountable now.

 Sorry man, I don't see it happening.
As a Bitcoiner I really hope I'm wrong on this one, but...

 Pessimistic but fine. 

The attitude reminds me of communist Gen Z "we need a revolution" dribble though. Sit on your hands and be excused, cause you criticised the system. 

I appreciate the work Bitcoiners are doing, but "complacent but principled" is not a good trait. 

Don't take it personal, I don't know you.

 Voting is contributing to the revolution and not voting is sitting on my hands?? 
Yikes.
We deserve many more years of statism and centralized control.
It was a pleasure 🤝🏼

 Did the Ross thing come out of thin air? Or did people work to get him on board?

 I said it before, I really hope I’m wrong on this one. 
But I’m not buying  any shit that a politician says, I won’t be participating in the circus. 
Fuck this clowns.
