  President Trump announced his intention to ensure that all future bitcoin production would take place within the United States, should he be re-elected.

    What? Our ancient grid says lol. But also. We don’t own bitcoin. It’s not some random American product that the US owns the rights to. What even.

      President Trump will never let anything stop America. Especially not something so unimportant as the truth.

      It’s simple really. Trump will just have to charge a tariff on foreign bitcoins.

      That’s pretty easy tbh, most of the core bitcoin devs all work for a single company that can absolutely be bought out, and even have gone on record on how much they dislike bitcoin.

      It was the main reason I got out, I bought into it because I was excited by the tech behind it, but no single company should have that much control over the direction it goes in.

      Now you could argue that if they did so the chain would just split and the rest of the world would just stay off the USA owned chain, but imo they have already done so much against the interest of bitcoin and everyone has just gone along with it so far (minus the bch split) so what do I know.

    I think that the really notable insight that Trump has had is that the typical voter has no idea what is actually happening in the policy areas being discussed, and that making false or self-contradictory statements isn’t – at least in the existing environment of commentators and media and such – as politically-damaging as is conventionally held to be the case.

      he does “love” the uneducated, after all.

      the typical voter has little or no idea what is actually happening in the policy areas being discussed

      To be fair, I’m not sure Trump knows what’s actually happening in the policy areas either. He just says stuff that he thinks will get him notoriety.
