Lots of jubilation about Trump coming out with a pro- #Bitcoin script, but I’d just like to remind everyone that Trump’s DOJ indicted Julian Assange under the Espionage Act, he didn’t free Ross when he was President, and he didn’t pardon Snowden. Actions speak louder than words. Anyway, goodnight.

Costs politicians very little to say the things they believe will help them win. Nothing binds them to make good on those words once they win. Fuck politics and fuck politicians.
He also said he’s not a big fan of Bitcoin while he was president. The is no red, there is no blue. There is the state and there is you.
🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP CONFIRMS THAT IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT HE WILL COMMUTE THE SENTENCE OF SILK ROAD FOUNDER ROSS ULBRICHT.
I love you bro. But politics is more complex than that. If it was so straightforward and simple, you as an American citizen could run for office, win and then set all of them free. Even Bukele, who heads up a country with less than 2% of the population and a fraction of the percent of the economic & political mass - is taking years to turn the ship around. It’s all good and well to yell about libertarian principles - and you are RIGHT - but just saying it, and assuming it’s as simple as waving a magic wand, doesn’t mean it is. Anyways. Good night 🙏🏽🫡🫶🏽
Trump is no longer suitable to be the president of the U.S. If Trump becomes the president again, Putin will be saved and Ukraine and Taiwan will be unlucky. Therefore, Trump must not be allowed to be president of the U.S.again. Trump is only suitable to be an Internet celebrity, not to be the president of the U.S. Too dangerous⚠️.
Trump pardoned 143 people when he was president, many of whom had literally murdered people, but you think it was too “complex” for Trump to pardon Ross? And why did Trump’s DOJ actively indict Assange? Not even Obama did that… I’m not trying to “yell about libertarian principles,” I’m pointing out that Trump’s actions stand in stark contrast to the words he is using now to garner support before the next election. Talk is cheap.

Most politicians are the same in the end with slight variations 😅
If you know anybody in real life who lies as much Trump does you take everything they say with a grain of salt. It is truly mind boggling that people buy into it. Liars lie, it’s what they do.
Exactly

Will trump abolish the IRS, FBI, NSA, CIA, the fed and other 3 letter agencies?
Exactly! trump has already proven that he isn’t gone pardon Julian, Edward, Ross, not to forget his covid approach and the release of the Kennedy files. Only RFK Jr is the most suitable candidate, also pro bitcoin, more diplomatic (not a bully like trump) more knowledgeable on all topics (that’s why neither trump nor biden want to debate him) and so much more positive things, RFK Jr as next US president!
Neither did Biden, under his leadership, there was Operation Chokepoint 2.0, jailing open source developers. It seems to me Biden's actions are horrible and he does not even have words. Prediction markets seem to agree that Trump is doing something right to get the votes. I agree that what he'll actually do will be very different, he is very chaotic. The problem is Biden is predictable and people don't like what he's doing and going to do. So in this case, the outlook is much better with Trump, even though you are absolutely right. Prediction markets seems to agree, Trump knows how to get votes. Biden is now 36%. image
Sorry, Biden has 38% Politics is acting, 80% of it is what he says into a microphone. Trump just knows how to do it better.
Moreover, Pompeo wanted to murder Assange. Trump is not coming to save anyone.
Why? Because there are/were more warmongering republicans than there were Ross/Assange fans. Not even close. So it is either Ross and Assange or keep and grow power. And if Assange wanted, he could have just followed Snowden to Russia. Also Trump, Tate brothers, and even JStark and even Jesus Christ could have just lived their great lifes instead of going through all the trouble. They fight their fights their way. Since for whatever good or not reasons we continue our comfortable lifes while not much contributing to those fights, we are not in a position to have strong opinions on how which of them should sacrifice themselves or one another.

we have to be honest - Ross Ulbricht has basically zero name recognition or figureheads close to Trump circa his 2016-2020 campaigns. Look at his inner circle then vs now. Maybe Patrick Byrne mentioned/knew of him? Certainly not Bannon, or Trump's kids Now he has Ramaswamy + Massie in his ear, two lifelong libertarians that have fought for his cause for years I don't think Ross was ever on the radar or he was even aware back then
Clearly they were more simple pardons bc I don’t know nor have heard of a single one of the other pardons. They were probably meaningless concessions. Every poetical action comes with a visible and a hidden price. Also - You seriously think it’s just one guy running the show from the Oval Office? Come on man. You’re smarter than that. At the very least, his actions are far greater than yours or mine. He’s in the arena. There might not be 100% hit rate or accuracy, but he’s the man in the arena.

Well he may or may not deliver on those promises, but Biden definitely wont and i dont see any other viable contenders! Vote him in for now and challenge him once he's in.
He didn't do those things because it wasn't for his benefit. No one thinks Trump is genuine. Free Ross
OTOH, sometimes people change their minds.

I’ll take the good. Half of the country may now know more about Ross and Bitcoin and if we’re lucky they will now be thinking 50/50.

Politicians can't be trusted, even if they appear to be on your side. It might be better to have someone who's against all of our ideals if they are incompetent or largely disliked. Losing some policy decisions can be tolerated if it means getting more people on our side.
The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend. The ideology of the Left, in all its forms (Socialism, Communism, Totalitarianism), is the Enemy!!! They all insist on total power and control. Trump could be an ally. Allies come in many forms and colors...he is tinted Orange after all

I'm just waiting for him to say anything actually intelligent or logical about Bitcoin or Crypto that wasn't scripted for him by someone else.

Yup that tracks. Kodak Black didn’t disclose his criminal sexual conduct charges related to a minor when filling out a firearms form so he got 4 years.
Trump is one of the traitors of this nation. Yes, he may be better than other plants, but he is one of them. I stopped trusting him since at least 2023.
In my opinion, you might be falling for a 33 deception, for "orange" is equal to 33 in Full Pythagorean (Full Reduction) gematria cipher. Ever wonder why Trump is called "orange man"? 88.

i appreciate your enthusiasm but there is no suitable candidate. there never will be
Yeah, many forget that he said "I like the dollar very much." He's a fucking fiat lover because he grifted millions of dollars. Fuck this piece of shit.

Good thing Bitcoin doesn't need Donald's permission or help. He should prove each promise by locking up each one with bitcoin (in a multisig, with several judges? Developing that process would be interesting). Welcome to the trustless society.
Talk doesn't make anyone accountable. Accountability requires strong consequences to one's actions.
I don't care about politicians; it's just that game theory kicks in their realm as well.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is a big one. Think about it. This is how people gather together bonded by the feeling of hate for something, instead of love for something. These kinds of groups, without any doubt, will represent a destructive force into the system. They don't stand for anything, they just against. And that must be a life of pain and suffering. In the end, you have the choice.
wow, so the one thing a US president has full authority to do, without any approval from anyone, and its complicated? What of the rappers, the friends, and the war criminals? He seemed to navigate the 'complexities' just fine for them. State-cucks gonna state-cuck though.
Are you serious? Because Im not president. If I was I could pardon the people who deserve it instead of rappers and war criminals. He had no trouble pardoning Lil Wayne. But Assange and Ulbritch are too complicated? My fucking god, do you even realize what you are saying here?

How does orange is linking to 33 I did not understand
Pharma scammer Vivek, whose entire platform was parroting Kennedy, told Trump to parrot Kennedy. Trump's teleprompter guy is lifting all his talking points from Kennedy's speeches and the machine is propping him up as opposition again Occupy Wall Street –> SMMA –> Woke left and MAGA @npub1sn0w...jdv9
Associating glorious Bitcoin with this tortured, pathetic, temporary creature is not much of a win, but if it shakes some Dems awake, fine.
