If you've been around a minute, you know who the guy in the middle is.
I think there is a real opportunity here, and one that might be able to resist being co-opted by shitcoiners because it can be paralleled with real technological growth and economic development into which the fervor toward seeking short term gains can be productively directed. Trump is delivering the "crypto" dream of policy, not the bitcoin one.

Understand there is no path to go forward that doesn't involve materials and manufacturing advancements, which are inherently dual use between industry and war. There is no Singaporization without militarization. This is fundamental physical reality and it will be used in an attempt to cleave bitcoiner interest away from Argentina and weaken it as a Schelling point.
Why do you think the Argentines are interested in meeting me? Certainly not because of any bitcoin matters, and what would you tell them? "Buy bitcoin?" Lol. I have a path to helping them become a real economic player, a real economic node, and pulling in other entrepreneurs who are sick of the nonsense of Silicon Valley Cantillionaires, yet still feel compelled to build the foundations of civilization's technology -- that is what I offer to Argentina.
[Redacting a bit for Nostr] ...it's all anchored in the fact that I have and can deliver The Goods. You cannot. Doesn't matter how many orders of magnitude more bitcoin you may have than me. Trump was high time preference tactics. Time to get strategic.
(I know there was the shitcoin thing that happened with Milei. Unless someone shows me evidence otherwise, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and consider the President an unwitting victim to social engineering, just as has happened with various celebrities. Presidents are extremely busy people, just think about how Trump talked about "playing with your coins" -- you can't assume they have taken the time to really pay attention the way Bukele has.)
