You keep saying the alternative was “much worse” and that “it never really mattered who A or B was.” I disagree. I don’t think the situation has ever been as bad as it is today. Focusing just on Bitcoin, Trump launching scam coins, including Melania, was a serious blow to the ecosystem. It undermined more than ten years of effort to build credibility and made Bitcoin look like a scam to a global audience. No offense intended, but I genuinely didn’t expect this level of irrational behavior. I know most Americans are great people, but from the outside the country currently looks deeply polarized, angry, and heavily influenced by propaganda. Trump literally makes China look much better compared to the US.

I would like to know how it could be “much much worse” and what’s your evidence of this statement?
