  Haha.  Crypto is:  —  1. clunky tech that needs a lot of work  —  2. sometimes a way to get rich quick  —  3. libertarian blah  —  It's only really 2 that makes anyone pay attention  —  Quantum tech is far more interesting than crypto  —  RE: https://www.threads.net/...

  Trump: if they win this election, every one of you will be gone. They will be vicious, they will be ruthless. They will do things that you wouldn't believe. But right now, because of me, they're leaving you alone. So please say thank you. [video]

  Well, if Donald Trump likes Bitcoin, it must really be the completely legitimate business everyone keeps saying it is.

  Trump: We will be creating so much electricity that you'll be saying, please, please, president, we don't want any more electricity. We can't stand it. You'll be begging me. No more electricity, sir. We have enough. We have enough. [video]

  He said this was going to happen in 2021. Then he said it was going to happen in 2022, Then again in 2023. Then again in 2024. Now it's next year apparently, although not one real economist in the world would agree.

  A Few Questions for Trump •What is crypto? •Why are you so enthusiastic—how does it help the U.S. economy long-term or most Americans? •Why should the U.S. government create a “strategic national Bitcoin stockpile”? •Have you invested in it? https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]

  This was Donald Trump biggest applause line of his speech and it's a complete lie.

• @acyn @acyn on x

  Trump: Most of the Bitcoin currently held by the government was obtained through law enforcement action. You know that they took it from you. Let's take that guy's life. His Bitcoin, we'll turn it into Bitcoin. It's been taken away from you.. It's a fascist regime. [video]

  President Trump is at the Bitcoin Conference rattling off all the bitcoin supporters in attendance who hold positions of power and influence. This feels like an awakening of the political class to the new digital world.

  lol trump promising not to sell bitcoin seized from criminal activity and portraying it as a strategic reserve (after RFK's promise) and then *immediately* describing that very same bitcoin he plans to hold as bitcoin that was unfairly seized from “you” (the audience)

  Trump on Bitcoin: And I don't think you've ever seen anything like it. And most people have no idea what the hell it is. You know that, right? So what happens when they figure it out? That's going to really be something [video]

  One thing the web 3.0 and crypto crowd learned way faster than the big tech companies that sprang out of web 2.0 is the power of lobbying and campaign donations. We now have both candidates competing over who can be nicer to the crypto crowd. [image]

  Team Harris moves fast. It's surprising and heartening to see them focusing on this on (checks watch) day six of her presidential candidacy. Shows they see the risk of letting Trump dominate this issue area so far.
