And yet... NPR doesn't mention bitcoin, crypto, or so-called stable coins...

Any of them could be factors. At least one of them have to be a factor. But its NPR. It has the be Trump.

Indeed.

I think this is a universal truth. Group think, specifically political group clouds your clarity of mind more than almost anything.

When you reject the frame. When you become an outsider it is easier to see the whole field.

But then you're an outsider. You're one of those radicalized shadowy supercoders. You're worse than the silicon valley bros and the scammers because you're not paying the politicians.

You read what the cRyPtO lobbyist says and dismiss it before the end of the 160 character tweet. Your sats aren't going to that shitcoiner, that's for sure. But that means that your sats aren't going to the politicians. Your wealth won't be used to bribe anyone to get laws that favor you.

If more people were like you, you'd starve the politicians out of the upper class. And that is why you shall not be mentioned in any positive way, ever.

Indeed. I don't expect the regime mouth pieces to care about those that oppose the regime.
