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

facepalm

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

He will take the WW2 approach to leading an industry. Have the competition be bombed out husks.

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.

The whole point of cryptocurrency is that it's decentralized. Trying to geographically limit it goes counter to the entire point. If the core devs tried to restrict it to a location like the US, it would be split pretty much immediately.

Not happening.

To take over Bitcoin it would take not only devs but also miners and major exchanges to cooperate. No single government on this planet has this power.

as another comment indicated, bitcoin (and other hard crypto chains) are resistant, not immune. please don't make that part of your armour.

I love seeing a life changing amount of money just being thrown around by the rich like change.

Aww, look at that gormless smile

Good god though, he looks like a wax facsimile of himself. Guess that’s why he melts all the time

After the shot at him, he has been very reserved about posting inflammatory nonsense. His speeches seem very controlled compared to the wandering rambles he is known for. It looks like that attempt on him has deeply shocked him and he is behaving like he is depressed. Trump is losing weight.

my friend, thats not depression. thats megalomania. he is beginning to believe his own bullshit.

You guys can turn anything into an anti-Trump cryfest.

For fucks sake.
