Trump, RFK Jr, and Bitcoin

Rfk jr could win if he was actually allowed on the debate stage but demoncrats and rethuglicans work together to censor independent candidates

I hope the POTUS elections is between RFK Jr. vs Trump and not Harris vs Trump.

Trump should make RFK the head of the bitcoin position, if elected.

Well done brother thank you! If I could share my thoughts it'll be short : Trump equals status quo with the tyrannical federal reserve (and other government entities) and little to no harm to bitcoin. One example is firing Gary Gensler does not change anything with bitcoin. Making bitcoin transactions non taxable and 1031 exchange of takes away their power, just as RFK clearly stated he would do. on to RFK: RFK will not only change the landscape of bitcoin he will change the entire world and destroy the tyrannical war machine known as the federal reserve. His numbers are much higher than anyone thinks because the polls are lying to maintain status quo. My vote and support in anyway I can goes to RFK. RFK is the only thing that will bring reform & route out evil tyrannical central banking and military industrial complex. Cheers to freedom and love to my Bitcoiners.🍻

I'm a huge Trump supporter, followed closely since 2016, and was very disappointed. Fake news reporting is so bad people won't know this, but Trump has a history of addressing groups like this with really well thought policy speeches that, I hate to say it, are much more like what RFKJr did. So I was expecting a lot more and deeply disappointed.

That said, if you stitch it all together and put it in the context of a Trump who already has said he wants the US #1 and mining "all the bitcoin" and makes this credible by also being pro abundant low cost energy, then it was pretty good. Bear in mind even Michael Saylor downplays the "bitcoin as currency" angle, saying bitcoin is not a threat to the USD.


RFKJr, great as his speech was, is a wasted vote. Any of a hundred of your viewers could get on stage and talk like that, and it would carry about as much weight. Because he has precisely zero chance, as even you said, of carrying even a single state. He holds no office, nor will he ever- unless appointed to one by Trump!

That is why in my view the most momentous or significant speech was Senator Cynthia Lummis, who held in her hand a BILL - actual legislation!- that she called a modern day Louisiana Purchase. (Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the US, buying vast western territory from France.) Trump may not understand bitcoin very well, but Senator Lummis and his Vice President Vance certainly do.

Thanks for covering Lummis, a lot of people seem to have missed what she said. Maybe the history reference went over their heads? She has an actual bill, that could become law, that is practically a bitcoin maxi's dream come true.

Rfk provided delusional vigor and trump provided more realistic low energy speech.

Trump mentions the electrical energy. It is very important for the mining. I am not american citizen and I am not close to be proTrump but I liked the speech

You are so correct in your analysis of the candidates!

Im voting for JFK, though, I dont expect him to win. He is more down the middle than the other two on nearly all issues imo.

Matt, my bitcoin heart is pulling me to RFK!!

❤

What did you mean by "if it wins" at the the end there?

Fantastic summary

The problem I have with RFK Jr, is not with his own Political stances, it's with his VP's. She is basically Kamala's twin, politically speaking. And with the History of the Kennedy's, especially those that rise or attempt to rise to high Political Offices, meeting such tragic ends, it's a high likelihood his VP is going to see some play time sooner than later.
Also, of note is how they had denied RFK Jr protection until Trump's rally incident.
So yeah, VP picks are kinda important all the sudden, and RFK has picked the absolute worst.

As usual you present a truthful accounting and a rational opinion. Bravo.

Hi Matthew. Rule #1: never assume what Donald Trump says publicly is what he believes. I'm not saying this negatively against Trump. He might have actually been in favor of Bitcoin while he was President, but if he had said anything positive like he is now, the Fraudulent Reserve+Deep State would have crashed the dollar by say 40% and blame Trump, perhaps the market too. Now that Biden took the blame for the inflation induced by the 2020+ printing press - he can come in as a candidate and endorse Bitcoin because it would protect from this price inflation seen under Biden. However, he can't say the stuff RFKjr said (no tax on BTC)- it would have been again another possible play by the deep state against him. (Same for details on BTC reserve)
No details either about if he owns any - but that might be a good move - the left/"progressive" might bitch more about BTC if they know Trump owns any. More FUDD. The best is for the Dems to be forced to accept so that perhaps a 2/3 majority will be in favor of BTC - possible US constitution amendment?
I could go on... but the point is, there might be consequences to what he says. As for RFKjr, because he is a distant 3rd candidate, he can afford to say more stunning desire. In reality, I'm not sure if RFKjr could actually issue an EO on any of that, there needs to be a law on which an EO is based on and that means Congress+Senate.
BTW, Trump could issue an EO making gold+silver legal tender again (article 1 section 8 + 10), bypassing entirely the Fraudulent Reserve Notes. Bitcoin is not in the constitution, but perhaps it will in some not too distant future

Love it!!! 🎉 Rock on, sir...

Minute 27-30 of Sailors bitcoine conference speech explains your question of how it can work to buy 1mil or 4mil bitcoin. Just print and buy as one fails the other grows

Now if only RFK Jr could poll higher than Kamala Harris's lowest poll percentage...

Voting for Kennedy might end up giving us Kamala. I think the vast majority of RFK jr base is conservative. Who knows...maybe Kamala and the democrats will end up being pro crypto ?

RFK jr is a trojan horse. He and Trump are in discussions about where he fits in a Trump presidency. He will take votes away from Kamala. The real issue is the preservation of our democracy and the upholding of the Constitution of the US. BTC will do just fine without RFK JR.

Trump and Kennedy are both bought and paid for Israel-First whores - I trust exactly NOTHING they have to say.

Agreed and good questions to think about.

It’s just as obvious that the U.S treasury should buy bitcoin as it is for you and me!
For that matter every country should be racing to buy bitcoin to the point where the only bitcoin available to buy is what is being freshly minted!
Never you mind I’ve got my own little 5MW stash of miners plugging away! 😂

Trump telling you (Bitcoin-community) what you want to hear....it's typical political theatre-schmoozing on the campaign trail. RFK jr on the other hand, is the real deal, unfortunately the 'real' seldom wins the power play.

If I vote, RFK indeed. But plan to do the community part of voting with my dollar.

RFK jr ... Total Class!

WTH Matt!
What’s it going to take for you to give the dude a break?! Pres elect accepts the invite and gives a campaign speech that supports Bitcoin and the best you got is that you don’t hate him.
There’s only one Michael Saylor and only one DJT. MAGA!

RFK all the way!!

I'm all in for RFK jr. As you have pointed out, he's the only candidate that seems to be able to articulate his positions clearly and intelligently, and isn't just pandering for votes. Thanks for an objective approach to all of this. Let's all be respective to each other while we figure out what's best for Bitcoin.

Such a Great Video today. I really enjoy all your videos.

Don’t let your idealistic tribalism vote against your greater interests. A 3rd party candidate has 0% win record in US history. RFK will not be the first. Don’t give away a vote for Trump because of your love for RFK. Your love for BTC is greater. Trump might not understand the technology or vision, but he supports it. Be better than your base emotions and make your vote for the future of BTC count

Thanks!

Most balanced analysis of the Trump speech.

Before the interview they gave him 1 btc and he made it sound like his kid has btc.

Election will be stolen again. They got away with it last time

Vote Kennedy!

Spot on! Could have been one for the ages.

Matt N1

Trumps speech was terrible rambling and repetitive
The narcissistic behavior gets old.

Well, it’s dangerous to support BTC as a politician.🤔

hello hope you do well
is it safe to leave my btc on bnb smart chain on my hardware wallet? for long time says 10 15 years?

Bitcoin Price Volatility Triggers $185 Million in Crypto Liquidations
Wild price swings for Bitcoin—including after the U.S. government moved $2 billion in BTC tied to Silk Road—have caused serious bleeding.

Must say this was one of your most information packed videos yet - thank you so much!

Yes, RFK is orange-pilled and gave a fantastic speech, whereas Trump’s speech was horrible. That said, the harsh reality is that voting for a third party candidate is equivalent to voting for your enemy’s party.

IMO, Trump is better not just for Bitcoin but for a lot of things.

I agree 100% with all of your critiques of Trump's appearance. I also voted for Trump in 2016.

I was at the conference and totally agree with this sentiment. The RFK speech was really well thought out, and clearly much more work went into crafting it to bitcoiners. The Trump speech was OK, but he didn't give the crowd what they wanted. And they were literally standing on the chairs in excitement at the moment they were hoping he would. You could feel some disappointed.
