 “Shut down crypto” he acts like he has a big red button 
 Also, Elizabeth Warren is now labeling us as terrorists. Only a matter of time till they go full authoritarian. 
 another psyop to manipulate you

they know they have zero power

 Bitcoin shuts you down, 
you boomer blockhead. 
 Of course he would. This guy gets it. He understands the threat. It’s validation.

He can make $ on Bitcoin. 
 I really don't believe that these people see any type of meaningful distinction. 🤷‍♂️ 
 I don’t see how that’s possible. I think they’re all puppets anyway. Better stock up on popcorn for 2024.

 Tbh, I'm not even sure anymore. I think that they're equally terrible; it's just that the system seems to be in denial about all their past blunders and communist states are far more open about it. 🤷‍♂️ Idk. 
 Jaime Dimon can suck a big bag of dicks.
