Bitcoin is winning. It’s “the next logical step”. Presidential candidates are forced to have a position on it.

Bullish on the fact that a major presidential candidate didn’t dismiss it as a tool of terrorists. Baby steps.

Do they tax capital gains in the States? In India, we have to pay 30% 🙄 tax on crypto gains

Stay humble, stack zaps
Way more coherent than an ETH position. The dollar is the best shitcoin to pair with bitcoin.
I haven’t followed this election cycle much but it is a surprise to see a candidate that can complete a sentence and a thought- even if it’s a bad take. Baby steps lol

once Trump gets major Bitcoin donations it'll change his tune "Bitcoin everyone loves Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the greatest invention since Apple pie... it's true."
The more I thought about this the clip the more I realized how she could drilled into why he likes the dollar so much and then the societal impacts from the decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar.

Why does he like the dollar? Why do his voters like when he says that? The US exports dollars and imports most other things— this seems counterintuitive to what his voters would like which is US manufacturing etc All of this is too hidden (on purpose) so most wouldn’t get it and we just have to wait
Trump likes the dollar because he benifits from the Cantillon Effect. Trump voters think Trump will get them closer to the money spigot. They're wrong. The system is heading towards hyperinflation and it doesn't matter which branch of the uniparty wins. They don't even pretend otherwise anymore. If this election is the most important election in our lifetimes, why have we not seen either of these eight decade old people debate? We talk a lot about the orange pill. It took me a long time to fully grasp this concept. Fiat is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. The NPC's in the crowd applaud the dollar because they took the green pill and are stuck in the fiat matrix.

My eye-opening moment was when I realized that due to a ludicrous expense ratio, my employer-provided retirement fund was just funding that company's employees, who take our money to the markets, no different than Vegas, like the fucking degenerate gamblers they are. It's a pure casino. Second, most people don't want the responsibility of becoming their own bank. They don't have the time, energy, nor the self respect required to do so. They're quite happy sucking that USD dick.
They are forced to gamble. Fiat is designed to lose value. You are forced to buy stocks that will be taxed later to prop up the corporations. Before bitcoin, you could not opt-out of this shell game. You could buy gold. It did better than real estate over the last 50 years, but it did not beat the Boggle heads.

Is it me or did that answer suck?
"...nobody before has probably heard of it but I did, yeah I did... Actually I'm the biggest expert on this and many people might not know it but I invented it, yeah I did.... - I invented the currency called the dollar and its been the greatest invention of all times, the best..."
”Old, white and rich…” what do you mean? Is old, white and rich bad things? Are you just one of the woke racists? In that case GO FUCK YOURSELF

that's the wrong position....the dollar he loves is a failure
His remarks have to be because he has RamySmawy in his ear. Trump sounded VERY different on bitcoin back when he was El Prez. The times, they are a changin!
