WIIIIIILD to open a CNN article with David Bailey and Trump as Bitcoin president.
...wildly terrifying that orange coin is now attached to orange man.
Bailey, speaking to CNN en route to a dinner at the White House for donors, dismissed the conflicts as examples of Trump’s “entrepreneurial spirit.” Regardless, Bailey believes the former president has forced the political class to take the cryptocurrency community seriously.
“Our voter bloc is big and growing quickly,” he said. “And it will be up to the parties to speak with us.”
Trump’s return to power was achieved in part through an unorthodox coalition-building strategy. He courted groups who might’ve been overlooked by Republican candidates, like Bitcoin enthusiasts, making direct appeals with policy promises tailored to specific audiences.
"When Trump unveiled his family’s new digital asset business, Nic Carter, a crypto investor who supported the Republican, said, 'At best it’s an unnecessary distraction, at worst it’s a huge embarrassment and source of (additional) legal trouble.'
There's some Ross and Angela McArdle (former Libertarian Party chair) in there too.
Not ideal, not lovely; but I'll take it.
