President Trump Sends Message of Support for Cryptocurrency

[CCTelander]

Trump stated in his speech to the LP that he wants to make sure that Bitcoin isn’t driven overseas, but rather “Made in America”. Do you understand that he is a clueless, authoritarian opportunist?

I just sit here SMGDH

Sounds like an excuse to make a national CBDC to me. What do you say about someone who says he won't do something, then lays the groundwork for it with his very next breath?

I guess the same thing we said about his diametrically contradictory promises of 2016, which nobody listened to...

He's already served 11 years, and from what I understand it was intel agencies who hacked his data, he ordered a hit on a fed who was extorting him by threatening to release all of his customer info/data. It's the trolley problem - you want thousands of your customers lives in peril, or the guy who is extorting you for money who wants their names released?

In this case the "customers" are criminals so the "trolley" scenario does not compute. And again I'm comparing this to actual heroes like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Even if it wasn't a fed, do you think anybody would sleep worse at night after having an extortionist like that murdered?

Also Don Jr. is 100% on board with Assange/Snowden being pardoned, I believe Trump Sr. is as well.

Biden is 100% not on board.

Take your pick.

Actually Biden has offered a possible to deal Assange.

What? The people selling drugs are "criminals"? The guy stealing his private data and then extorting him is not? Isn't this a libertarian site?

Actually Biden has offered a possible to deal Assange.

Lol.. ok buddy..

 

[oyarde]

More importantly, why no promise for Julian Assange or Edward Snowden? Neither of them were ever accused of ordering a hit on anyone.

5 different if I recall. Personally at current time Id appreciate it if trump would quit trying to lose . e can quiet down about bitcoin( avg american knows zero about ), releasing some guy nobody knows , giving nikki a job etc, not too sure about researc going into stuff.

 

[ClaytonB]

Oh boy, support for companies!

Can you give me the phone# for the CEO of Bitcoin, been trying to get ahold of that guy for a while now...

 

[Swordsmyth]

People? For what? You mean that time he said he wanted to imprison someone who was guilty of knowingly poisoning people downstream and lying about it? Because, like, that actually happened. Anyone who thinks that one clip which was circulated out of context by propagandists like Pool (reverse propagandists? it's still propaganda) was about anything else but that is parroting both disinformation and malinformation.

That's false.
At best he said both.
You are the one removing the context you don't like.

He specifically opposes a CBDC.
What he means is that he wants the mining industry here and not in China or somewhere else a hostile country could try to take control of it.

Here's the full in context quote:

Reporter: "What about Politicians, people who deny, who express skepticism?"
RFK: "I think they're selling out the public trust, and you know I think those guys who are doing the Koch brothers' bidding, who are against all the evidence of the rational mind, are saying the global warming doesn't exist, that they are contemptible human beings and that you know I wish there were a law you could punish them under, I don't think there's a law you can punish those politicians under, but do I think the Koch brothers should be prosecuted for reckless endangerment? absolutely, that's a criminal offense and they ought to be serving time for it."

So, CO2 is pollution, Global Warming is real and you should "trust the science" and he wants a law to imprison you if you don't.
Until he gets the laws he wants he is going to prosecute you for "reckless endangerment" for producing CO2.


He starts with debateable "crimes" like oil spills and pollution, then moves to claiming CO2 is pollution, and then moves to saying people should be jailed for speech and laws should be changed so politicians can be jailed for their positions.
The camel's nose in the tent approach.
"Don't you love children? don't you think child abusers should have their children taken from them? then why do you object to taking trans children from Christian parents?"

So no pardon for Julian Assange, Edward Snowden or Thomas Drake (no relation to me), but commute the sentence of someone dumb enough to have a chat log talking about how he didn't mind if a certain party got executed and applauding his associate being kidnapped?

Hearsay and false allegations. Ulbricht was never charged, let alone convicted, of any violent crime. All of his "crimes" were paper-crimes and, while I oppose white-collar crime as much as any other crime, these were all paper "crimes" against the State's arbitrary and unlawful regulations, including unlawful tax and other financial regulations. In short, Ulbricht was flaunting onerous and unjust regulations and he was punished and made an example for that reason. In short, Ulbricht was made an example of what happens to people who flaunt the State's arbitrary, tyrannical, unjust and unlawful dictates. His punishment is an important lynchpin of the current tyranny. We are a country of free men, but who among us is ready to do a life sentence just to prove the point??

How you can cite the FBI with a straight-face is beyond me. This is the same FBI who has multiple times planted live explosives, lured the mentally-ill into a "terror plot" they themselves manufactured and is almost certainly the agency who planted the January 6th pipe-bombs. This is not a credible source for determining if the sky is blue, and you're citing hearsay from them as evidence against Ulbricht? Don't be ridiculous.

 

[Anti Globalist]

Why didn't he do that the first time around?

Probably because he either got threatened by the Deep State or he never actually wanted to. My guess is on the latter.

Why is obstruction an impossible explanation?

Then both you and Trump don't know the first thing about why BTC was created.

Whatzit matter?

When we can just invade and take the oil....errr......bitcoin.

BTC/decentralized crypto <> CBDC

I believe it is 99% likely that Trump does not understand this crypto issue at all. But Vivek does and it's clear to me that Trump has been listening to him ever since Vivek dropped from the race and joined his campaign.

 

[acptulsa]

You are the one removing the context you don't like.

You are parroting a piece of propaganda that's getting more airplay on the internet than everything Ron Paul said and did in both campaigns, and you actually think you're being counter culture doing it.

Even Reason, which is pure establishment apologia and always has been, is grudgingly willing to allow that what you're repeating is lies. But then you've proven more than once that you're all about corporate personhood. If I remember correctly, you not only think corporations should be able to bribe -- er, I mean give campaign contributions to politicians but you're fine with theirs being unlimited while individual contributions should remain capped.

Here's Reason grudgingly and sarcastically admitting the truth about what all the propagandists and their useful idiots are lying about. I know you aren't interested in the truth, but somebody is.

So tell me how we keep a cryptocurrency "made in the USA" without making it an official national currency.

I'm sick to death of seeing Trump's ignorance used as a selling point. The country has suffered enough at the hands of ignoramuses.

I wouldn't take the quote literally. I understood it to mean that he plans to let the crypto industry (including BTC miners) thrive here in the USA rather than having to move overseas.

Yeah, I know. And yet, these narcissists are so arrogant they've started playing this game where they drop hints on the conspiracy theorists. Makes it hard not to look for the double talk.

I take everything that fascist jack-ass says seriously. I remember when many of us were calling to eliminate the FDA and other 3-letter agencies, Trump instead threatened the FDA Chief to clear the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine by day's end or he would be fired.

"Made in America" my ass. He doesn't know the first about it, yet he goes public and speaks to it.
