You give them too much credit. These aren't the best people on most metrics. I have known and been around politicians. Some are as you say but I would say few hold bitcoin or even understand the monitary system. You have listened to them haven't you? They aren't sending their best. They seek power through being demogogary. They aren't finacial wizards. If they were they would not go into politics. They could make much more money on Wallstreet.
