He stands on a stage on the Bitcoin Convention, in Nashville, and says how a lot he likes crypto folks. He publicizes a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. He guarantees to free Ross Ulbricht. He fingers out burgers at PubKey, in NYC. He even kinds his personal DeFi challenge, World Liberty Monetary, full with an insider-y governance mannequin (what higher approach to sign one’s constancy to crypto than that?)
Trump says and does all of the issues crypto needs to listen to and he attracts thousands and thousands in donations in consequence. The loudmouths go to bat for him, tradition warriors in performative hatred. He occupies political house that the Biden Administration and the Harris marketing campaign might have occupied in the event that they weren’t so craven to the Warren Wing. He says all the fitting issues, as a result of Trump is the grasp of claiming what folks need him to say. He suits completely with crypto’s targets, as a result of his politics are adaptable to any scenario and crypto was determined for a buddy.
I’ll confess that each one this makes me personally uncomfortable, not as a result of I’ve any nice love for Kamala Harris, however as a result of Trump has an extended monitor document of being a fair-weather buddy. He might simply as simply take a completely reverse view of crypto, if it fits him, and he has. I’m frightened about crypto’s embrace of Trump as a result of I discover it laborious to imagine that Trump shares ideas that attracted me to crypto.
