Its kinda mind blowing to me how many bitcoiners have latched on to protectionism as the solution to US problems over ending fiat money printing. All because a politician said they like their coin. Sad state of affairs. Ya'll do know that this is just a distraction from the root issue... the one Trump has always ignored.
There's some validity to the protectionist ideas though. Especially strategic self reliance and unfair competition from China. Traditional textbooks (Mankiw) would say that we shouldn't care if China is exporting unfairly, because it means cheaper goods for us. But that views the world through a consumerist lens that doesn't view work as an integral part of a person's dignity and view of themselves.
