Nico, I respect and appreciate you, but this is not the way.
Trump doesn't understand Bitcoin, and he's only saying what he's saying so he can get your vote.
RFKjr understands Bitcoin, but he's not on the ballot in enough states to win enough electoral college votes to become president. A vote for him is essentially the same thing as not voting at all...except that you're still bending over for the current system.
Even if Trump really grokked Bitcoin, or even if RFKjr could win, voting for one guy in a massively corrupt system filled with corrupt people who you will never vote for or see, is a waste of time at best. Bitcoin already realigns incentives and starves the money printing beast. Everything else (good leaders, good laws, etc) is naturally downstream of that, and if politicians want to fight against that, it'll only be to their detriment.
But, as Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9) said at the Nashville conference: go ahead and vote for whoever you want to vote for, but make sure you don't join a cult.
Be careful, Nico. You're flirting with cult territory.
