Elections Kamala Harris for POTUS

[Limbo Pete]

All good, if that's how you feel then I get it. For me I doubt either candidate will have any significant effect on my life, especially financially. Local government is far more important to my family's welfare than federal.

But, I guess I just don't want to raise my two little girls in a world where a misogynist and serial liar like Trump is the leader of the greatest country on the planet. That and his utter disregard for American institutions, lack of ethics, integrity, or any interest in understanding foreign affairs are just too much to ignore. It's embarrassing and dangerous. Really a no brainer for me. I so look forward to the day when I can go back to not caring all that much.

All of those things, plus let us not forget his extreme disregard for the handling of classified materials is an actual threat to our intelligence apparatus and overall national security

If one president could implement policy that would lead to financial freedom, would that change your mind?

Possibly. I'm not in need, but of course I can still be bought

I probably wouldn't take that deal if it comes with a bunch of unreasonably negative results for the rest of the country, though. And I don't think the potus is capable of implement any changes that would do such a thing for me, anyway. Especially not without the help of congress. I'm certainly not resting my hopes for any great financial windfall on the word of DJT.

Come on man, Truth Social is gonna take off any day now. And those sneakers are an even better investment than Trump Steaks. Btw you should get in on this NFT train before it leaves the station. My finance degree from Trump U is working overtime trying to keep up with all the ways I'm gonna be making money.

Trump calling for 20% tariffs across the board would massively increase inflation beyond its typical fluctuation, you know that but will obfuscate in defense of Trump.

You don't even understand how taxes are applied and yet you're so certain Trump will be better for you. Oh but you're definitely not a Trump supporter

I’m not.

I’m speaking specifically to his position on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

These positions would outweigh any negative financial policies you are touching on.

I’m not a Trump supporter. If I was a single issue voter, I’d vote on that position alone.

massively increase inflation

Doubt. But like I said, this is not what I’m referring to

 

[Strychnine]

If you've heard a minute of Trump talking, you've pretty much heard everything.
He can ramble on for an hour, saying a slightly different version of the same childish talking points and insults.

He's at the "Fat Elvis" stage.

Donold lumbers out, bangs out the same old hits with nothing new, and the cult members eat it up.

What crypto policy is Trump advocating for that would be so transformative?

Doubt. But like I said, this is not what I’m referring to

You doubt that a 20% tariff across the board would increase prices? JD Vance himself admitted this would happened when he said one million cheap appliances are not worth one American manufacturing job. That's plain bad economics.

 

[Strychnine]

So now you're posting videos of the guy's wife. JC.

Can't wait to see his nephew and dog.

He's taking a break, and his wife said she'd keep up with the information.

My take is, we survived 4 years already with a pretty good economy and less world strife. The sky didn’t fall.

This isn’t in hopes of a large scale financial gain across the board. It’s specific to his cryptocurrency policy.

You really are interested? Or are you just going to say “so what”?

You said “massively increase” not “increase”.

 

[Islam Imamate]

I am curious as I don't think he's even released his crypto plan yet.

You said “massively increase” not “increase”.

I guess "massively" is an overstatement but it would reliably increase prices with virtually no gain and all downside according to most orthodox economists.

His track record is, uh, less than stellar. Everything he touches turns to shit, unless you're one of the many people he's found liable for defrauding or defaming. Those people get paaaiiid, baby! His lawyers and coworkers, not so much. They're lucky if they get to stay out of prison.

If one president could implement policy that would lead to financial freedom, would that change your mind?

If Donold Trump enacts the Veterans benefits section of Project 2025, my military retirement pay gets cut 50%.

It's literally a matter of food on the table for me and a lot of other disabled vets out there. More than a few of them will be made homeless by this austerity measure.

 

[Rob Battisti]

It was less robust than RFK who had it spelled out better than Trump.

You’d have to be living under a rock to not have seen the attempts to make it an election issue. My fear is because he’s so pro crypto, she will be overly anti-crypto.


He has said he wants to create a BTC strategic reserve, get clear regulation in a positive manner instead of Gensler’s crusade and ensure the right to self custody.

If he’s elected, the market would have a pro-crypto administration for the first time in history right during the bull market.

Here are some quotes:

• "If I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration to keep 100% of all the bitcoin the U.S. government currently holds or acquires," Trump said Saturday. "For too long, our government has violated the cardinal rule that every bitcoiner knows by heart, never sell your bitcoin."

• "On day one I will fire Gary Gensler,"

From Senator Lummis:

"Over five years, the United States will assemble 1 million bitcoin, five percent of the world's supply,"

RFK wanted to buy 500 a day to match our Gold reserve.

He’s said he doesn’t support that.

He also said he'd lock her up, give us better healthcare than we could imagine, build a wall and have Mexico pay for it.

When someone shows me who they are, I'm going to believe them the first time. I'm going to vote for someone that doesn't even have that project 2025 stuff on their radar.

My actual ability to provide for my wife depends on how this election turns out.

My friend, he’s incompetent. The things you mentioned were things he couldn’t do because he’s a blow hard.

That's what scares me! He's incompetent and he'll just sign off on anything that's put in front of his desk, just as long as you either compliment him to heck and gone or slide him "a little taste" a-la Goodfellas.

I mean, it was in shambles when he left office. He handled Covid like an inconvenience to his campaign. Absolutely no regard for anyone else's well being, no attempts to lead us through it, just, "how can I make this problem seem like a non-issue or pawn it off on others so I get re-elected".

But sure, during the good times when he took over he didn't destroy the economy or do too much harm (unless you care about the deficit). Obviously, if the economy is already hot and you cut taxes it will get even hotter. The problem is we don't know when more bad times will come. He's untrustworthy, I wouldn't hire him to work for me, let alone to run the country. To be fair, I work for a bank so he'd most likely fail the background check and security clearance anyway.

Anyway, like I said, I don't begrudge you your vote if you think a Trump presidency will help you. I just found it amusing that you try to claim you don't support the guy when you're telling us you want him to win. No biggie, really.

Why should the government have a bitcoin reserve? Or in other words, why should taxpayer dollars go towards inflating an investment that only a small subset of Americans own? Obviously you own bitcoin so you'd benefit but from a macroeconomic perspective it seems like a retarded policy.

Then again you never claimed it was a good policy overall but just that it'd enrich you which is probably true.

First, they already have 210,000 BTC or ~13 Billion worth of Bitcoin currently.

Second, it’s been the best performing asset since its creation. Those who are ignorant of Bitcoin like to say it’s a volatile asset. In reality, when held over any 5 year period in its history it’s gone up at least 500%.

Will these multiples continue indefinitely? No. But they will still outpace every other asset without fail.

It’s digital gold for lack of the ability to extensively outline it.

Why do we keep gold? If the answer is anything which points to a positive, then keeping bitcoin is a better option.

RFK jr. Wanted to buy 500 a day until we reached 4 million. This is ambitious and ultimately impossible. Around 1-2 million is possible and very beneficial to the United States.

However, allocating a small amount of our strategic reserve to Bitcoin will allow our reserve assets to grow at a much higher rate than what we have now.

Other counties around the world are hoping on this train and we can’t be left behind.

It’s a good strategic policy.

You know that isn’t real and you are lying about it.

Edit: the 2025 thing, not you being disabled. That’s very believable.
