Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If only he would touch himself.
Well, that's one thought I didn't need to have.
Have a good time with your bitcoin and your crypto and everything else that you're playing with, and we're going to make that one of the greatest industries on Earth. Good luck and God bless you all.
Probably the funniest thing he could have said to them.

Bitcoin doesn't need Donald Trump

Paywall. What's the gist of it?

The general thrust of the argument is this; Trump is promising to massively deregulate crypto, which is exactly the opposite of what it would need to ever be truly successful.
To the average member of the public, crypto is a scam made of smaller scams. It is embodied by criminals like SBF and CZ. It is not a thing to take seriously. If there is any hope for it to shake off that reputation, and actually become useful for anything other than degenerate gambling, it needs to be orderly, regulated, and trustworthy. No serious investor wants a return to the days of wildcat banks and pre-depression Wall St.
Of course, the crypto industry hates the idea of regulation, because breaking laws is the only viable use case anyone has ever found for crypto, so no one involved can actually envision what a successful and well regulated crypto industry would look like, if such a thing can even exist.
But if something must be entirely deregulated to survive, it deserves to die.
Fear mongering
If one orange wannabe Hitler can corrupt a government AND Bitcoin maybe both of those systems need an overhaul…
