Bitcoin becoming explicitly right-coded is not a great development. It should be seen a something that is obviously constructive regardless of ones other ideological priors. Having it slot into the knee-jerk polarization of U.S. domestic politics is no bueno. 

A former and possibly future president loudly praising Bitcoin is indeed a watershed event, but he is also a highly polarizing figure. Absent countervailing liberal support the other half of the country will simply associate the technology with a raft of other views and policies endorsed by Trump that they dislike and dismiss it on those grounds. 

Some people will say it is merely their loss, and that their own folly will lead them to destruction if they miss this opportunity. But I don't think that is a generous or patriotic attitude. Also, practically speaking, political polarization will slow the adoption of the technology more broadly. There are a few liberals like Ro Khanna who like Bitcoin and their views should be given more prominence.

Trump is now in command

culture is moving beyond the extremely suffocating cult of intersectional theory, finally

mental wealth, #3 to get worldcoin rekt in UK, "crypto investor cum investigator" - quote by dlnews, creator: https://opensea.io/collection/npc-ers

most normies gave it a go (hence the turbocharge), but quickly realised it's not worth anything getting +1's from people that despise themselves & the world -- also its not fun to live in a categorisation-obsessed victim culture (parties suck)

feels like its much more acceptable to be pro Trump this time around

this post-woke vibe also transcends into other spaces, like co's scaling back commitments on fossil fuels, declaring merit-based hiring processes, etc.

idk, just a vibe

Last time he was in power the whole intersectionality thing was turbocharged
