From that point on – Bitcoin shifted from being “Notgeld” – emergency money amid a slow-rolling, global hyper-inflationary event, and it became inevitable component of a future, successor monetary regime.

It's his lack of knowledge about Bitcoin. We shouldn't blame him too much. He is, after all, a noob among us!

I'm just laughing because it's so Trumpian. Vivek or JD made him aware that bitcoin is mined and his immediate reaction is that it needs to be made in America.
It also does fit well with his preference for energy abundance.

Very much Trumpian
He wants bitcoin mined in America because bitcoiners have donated millions to his super pac. It's also a stark contrast to the Democrat view of mining uses too much electricity and contributes to climate change.

It seems more gut level than that. If something can be made anywhere, he wants it made in America.

These public miners are based in USA especially in Texas
They have contributed to his super pac
No 30% excise tax on electricity consumed by miners

I like Whitney. I find her reports interesting. She is clearly very intelligent. However, she has schizo tendencies of trying to connect too many unconnected threads. Again I'm not saying this to be critical as I like her and think she is a good person.
A summary of her report of JD Vance is this:
  • JD worked closely with Thiel
  • Thiel funded his political career
  • JD also is close to other members of "PayPal mafia"
  • Theil's software, Palantir, exist to provide data to intelligence community
  • Palantir is filled with spooks and ex-spooks
  • Palantir is a continuation of PROMIS software that arose post 9/11
  • PROMIS itself had its life in Main Core database which was during Iran-Contra affair
Now each of those points is factually correct. However, I don't think that an actual narrative exist....and frankly its a bit absurd to tie JD Vance back to Iran-Contra....I know she is not intending to directly connect those dots, but she implies that they are loosely connected. Its a impressionistic hit piece of sorts....
Now I'm not some JD Vance fanboy as I honestly don't know / care too much about him. From my brief research I like about 70% of what he says, yet I'm strongly against his war mongering against Iran statements.

Iran Contra hearings were in 1986. JD was born in 1984.
JD also left Thiel's company and moved back to Ohio in 2019. Clearly Thiel is trying to control Ohio.

The truth is that politicians, when it comes to gathering votes, promise one thing and when they are already up, they apply something totally different... candidate Trump, now that he is in the political race for the presidency of the United States, suddenly has a positive point of view and pleasant towards Cryptoeconomics... if you ask me I would say that there is something hidden at hand... what we stakers must do is continue acquiring knowledge... and stack up day by day and thus create and strengthen our most powerful accumulated asset for our future.

Yes. Trump can hear the dollar signs, that is why he is latching on to this group. And he can pull a certain amount of votes from them. It has nothing to do with self interest at all lol
