VP

lucifer_666

I fucking hate it here. It’s unfathomable how an administration could be this destructive, not only in the crypto space, but in every single aspect of American life right now. WW3 on the horizon, complete disregard of human rights, credible allegations the president is a child predator (which anyone with a brain already knew), government overstepping its boundaries, handing the keys to the country to evil tech billionaires that are hand picking their guy to be VP, jobs sectors disappearing, younger generation being fucked raw no lube in order to funnel even more money to the top elites, credible allegations the president cheated on the election with elons help, psy ops being used to incite a civil war, everyone is irritated with each other all the time, tarrifs that were paid for by the American tax payer, N. Korea style military parades….yes that’s a run on sentence…but damn we are fundamentally fucked up as a country at the moment. All while the “don’t tread on me, but also tread on me and bomb iran too” crowd is stroking their chodes to the idea of 18 year old marines to shoot and kill fellow Americans using their 1st amendment rights. MAGA is a cancer

Please trash on my shitcoin! I may be delusional about this one so please tell me what you think and if possible find as many red flags as you can! Because i honestly dont see anything bad despite the usual risk for new projects. So this one is a base token, not a meme coin, called create. Currently it sits at \~500k mcap and rank #4400 - that alone is interesting What's more is, they are heavily involved with buildonbase and host a weekly episode there. Also I should mention it was fairlaunch so no VC or ICO can dump Jesse Pollak (lead dev of Base) is supporting this and they have a few real life events where they are present, for example the Licensing Expo recently and the NFTNYC 2025 in New York. Even better, they are official Partners of the Clankercon. Clankercon itself is a metaverse event involved and backed by Farcaster. Guest Speakers will be e.g. Jesse Pollak as well as former Coinbase VP. Source: (Keep in mind that the date for Clankercon has been delayed) [https://x.com/BasedCreators/status/1915516460245409868](https://x.com/BasedCreators/status/1915516460245409868) [https://x.com/RSKAGY/status/1915891999242154404](https://x.com/RSKAGY/status/1915891999242154404) I think the chart speaks for itself, there's never been a big dump and top wallets have only been buying - everyone expects big things in the future. There's also some speculation on my part: [https://x.com/CryptoStatuette/status/1911087725437915246](https://x.com/CryptoStatuette/status/1911087725437915246) (Coinbase Wallet Integration maybe?)

Something defenitely is brewing. I can only imagine what will happen when Clankercon happens and marketing actually starts...

Oh I never said I’m being more lazy or losing work ethic. It’s the opposite for me, I’m more focused now at work than before. I just don’t care as much to chase a director or VP level position that’ll cause a great deal of stress and worry. If I get promoted naturally, awesome. I enjoy what I do tbh.

code142857

Patently false. the VP has far more influence on bitcoin than ice spice.

SatoshiBlockamoto

I agree the guy's a scumrat, but the very idea that the VP of the US is publicly taking this position is absolutely mid blowing. We've come a LONG way from Buffet calling it rat poison squared.

davebobn

Boom. The reactions blow my mind. Guys, did you even listen to what he just said? Let alone, the fact that the VP is even mentioning Bitcoin, and Bitcoin SPECIFICALLY. Fuck. These are the times you've been hoping for. Waiting for. If this shit doesn't make you even more bullish then sell and buy gold.

SunnyDay27

It’s been happening since 1970’s… get your Bitcoin before the next 10x … Pension funds, state funds, countries all adding to balance sheet, VP Vance owns $500k of BC and disclosed at BC conference this week, crypto friendly administration. Buy through an ETF … best asset class in 15 years … not financial advice, of course 😉

CleverClover222

I don't know what I think of QNT but I've also been cruising around the web gathering info trying to understand my investment thesis better ( just kidding, I just like saying sh\*t like that---my bag is very easily carried, lol). Seriously though......look at the Quant Network Website page and explain to me why 3 men with such amazing resumes would join a sinking ship in 2024? this makes no sense. Something is afoot --perhaps the Github page is empty because they are more secretive? they DO have a patent on their tech. Perhaps they prefer keeping folks in the dark? I guess I would if I was sitting on a real game changer. Copy Pasta from Quant website for those who are curious but would never bother to look: Neil Smit: Former President and CEO of Comcast Cable (still serving as VP) Guy Dietrich: Previously managing director at Rockefeller Capitol. he led the largest private wealth management practice for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in Silicon Valley. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College, was a fellow at Harvard’s Advanced Leadership Initiative and was on the Advisory Board of the Stanford University Institute for Economic Policy Research. David Yates: David is the former CEO and Chairman of UK payment infrastructure Vocalink. He joined Quant’s board of directors in October 2024.David was earlier President at Western Union and First Data. He has served on the boards of WorldPay, Concardis, Equiniti, NIUM and eNett. He also worked as Operating Partner for Advent International, Temasek and Siris Capital. A collection of people like this doesn't look like your average "ghost chain" bundle of yahoos....and my bag is small enough that I'll be hanging in there to see what happens. I'll just try and keep better tabs on things than I have the last few years. Worst case scenario.....I find out this project is going nowhere fast and I depart at the same train station I got on . I don't have enough proof either way right now. Keep me posted if you find something out Mr.Shilling sucks.

CleverClover222

This conversation is precisely what I've been looking for myself. I've been trying to figure out if this is a legitimate project or not. Like Mr. Shilling I've been holding for years and awaiting the best time to exit......but I keep on getting a strange vibe that tells me to hold on to it. I know--trading on emotions will leave a person poor, but.....is it legit (or not)? as far as Github is concerned, I wouldn't expect to see proprietary (patented even) technology freely exposed there. This isn't a regular crypto project after all. This is more of a centralized solution. The company doesn't operate the way we are all used to in terms of sharing solutions, etc. The other thing that gave me pause as I was on the heels of trading it was the two new additions to their board in 2024. These guys are solid. David Yates was the president at Western Union, CEO of Vocal link....Neil Smit served as the president and CEO of Comcast cable (still serving as VP ! ). You don't really think serious men like this would be involved in some scummy rug pull, right? I sure don't.

MeetingBrilliant

Bitcoins is taking market share from all those asset classes.. to store value is the VP. THATS WHAT ITS USED FOR. All due respect, bitcoin is gonna blow/changes minds and investment trends

Jevus_himself

Onchain APR is on the top right corner, VP is the percentage of the total staked ATOM that validator controls, if you scroll right you’ll see the commission each validator receives from your staking rewards for example Coinbase is at 20%, so 20% of the 16.73% you receive goes to Coinbase. Current APR is 16.73%

loopala

> can be potus, VP, some lawers, maybe bank The president of a nation would not handle this sort of thing personally. They would have an IT guy. Now the IT guy has access to the key. Is it the same as the IT guy of the VP? Lawyers, Banks, etc. same. Somewhere in the chain there is a senior IT guy that's handling this menial stuff for them, transferring keys to a hardware wallet, secure computer storage, whatever. They don't do that sort of thing themselves. They rely on people they trust. You speculate on the number of signatures. The correct answer to OP question is "we don't know". You don't need collusion, it can also be violence. And an adversarial nation could also incapacitate a few key persons.

SafeMoonJeff

There is no better way, and as far as I know, it was never done before (hack/scam a multi sig) Nobody is stupid and let all people be related in some way, can be presient, VP, some lawers, maybe banks etc And WE assume it's 3, it may be 6 or 9 or 12 , i think max is 15. Make 15 people participate in some kind of gigantic Casa Del Papel gouvernement scam/heist is wild.

ly5ergic

It's literally referred to as the risk free rate. The government would need to fail, that's the risk so it's generally not considered. Did people lose their bank deposits in 2008? No. Did just about everything else go go down or closed? Yes. Man watch out for those high government insurance bank accounts. Super risky. What should I go hide cash under the mattress? Is that what you consider safe? If the government and banks fail the cash would be useless too. Or are you one of those only gold and crypto is safe? A hedge fund that buys treasuries and gets a 1-4% return. Then, the fund gets its fees. Yeah, a huge market for that. Wow, I should start that. I'll be raking in the money with that genius plan. Though I have to tell you I'm already VP at JP Morgan. It isn't some secret money trick; most people who aren't idiots keep their money earning at least the fed rate / treasuries. Buffet's hundreds of billions cash pile is mostly in treasuries. Hedge funds do, too, when they move to cash. Everyone doesn't do it all the time because the stock market has better returns. People also have different strategies, risk tolerance, and timelines. Also, when interest rates are low like they were before COVID, it's way worse return than the market. It got down to under 1% There is always a risk reward spectrum. Saying why isn't everyone in treasuries is like saying why wasn't everyone 100% in Nvidia. Wow, maybe I should have made a fund that just buys Nvidia.

Life_Airline_6767

Obcourse it will go to 200. So, if you buy now, as a INVESTMENT In your future, you should average a double in your investment. Just purchase weekly or when it’s down. If you have the capital or money now, use 50 percent to buy now. Then use limit 10 buy orders at 1 or 2 percent increments. It’s the future credit and debit card processing and digital currency payments. Once the Bit card is released, you will be able to transfer bit onto card to use everywhere soon. They are working on getting Merchant processors accounts to be unhackable . When billions of bitcoin are being used to buy goods, groceries, cars ex merchant services need to exchange your bit into cash so venders can receive funding in 24 hours or less. That’s were hackings are vulnerable as well. My fathers the VP of authorize.net. It’s a large merchant service billing company. They doing a lot more tech creating as well

threeseed

If he becomes Speaker which he can be without being in Congress and the President/VP resign he can be President again.

SmallVoiceMedia

43 years of experience in business. Multiple corporations. At fifteen years old I became the VP of my father’s company. That’s more than you can say for yourself.

Bought yesterday after speaking with my broker. He told me I would enjoy today. He is VP of a large brokerage firm in the US. I listen to him when he speaks

jwz9904

Thank you VP vance

cr0ft

This was a combo of several things. First, the idiot belt where the morons live, who actually have no idea who Trump really is but they rushed to vote for him. Then, his opposition was that idiot genocider Harris; she put her hat in the ring for President when he ran and got zero traction, but somehow became VP. She still got zero traction when she needed it. Plus, let's face it, they cheated. Not even Harris could lose so badly that Trump won all 7 swing states. That's pretty unbelievable. With electronic voting being used, something that is logically and physically impossible to secure because you always have to trust *someone* or *something*, it's not even all that far fetched imo. But yeah, that lunatic Trump was always going to fuck things up. That's why everyone was recommended to get out of crypto by February. This was always inevitable.

vincethepince

>THEN RE-ELECTED THE DICTATOR AGAIN!!!!???? After it was proven that said dictator attempted to steal the previous election (that he lost) via fraudulent elector documents and violent riots to pressure his VP into accepting those fraudulent documents. We live in a clown country

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift

Yeah I didn’t want to comment on his comment as you can’t reason with people that have no idea what they’re saying. There are companies that have made multi billion dollar commitments to the US over longer time frames (I’m a VP at one). Intel, TSMC, Micron, Open.Ai just their commitments alone are over a trillion dollars but 30T is not true.

platinumarks

So some dude who occasionally talks to the VP of Brazil said something about Bitcoin. And this is big news why?

AdBorn3630

Under Obama Joe Biden was the VP and he was responsible for executing the USDS (renamed DOGE under Trump). He had from 2014 through 2016 to start removing the wasteful spending and fraud! As the President Joe Biden had 4 years! But somehow our government is riddled with corruption and fraud and I wonder how much Bitcoin plays into that corruption?! Just because the price went up doesn’t mean it was a good thing!

oh_no_the_claw

Be your own bank. Forward this to the VP of your fraud department. Why are you even complaining?

FounderinTraining

If you want to enjoy fiefdoms, go look up the Oeter Thiel Dark Enlightenment michigas. Dude placed V.J. Dance as VP for a reason.

GooseyMane_

He’ll be taken out at some point. The real mission was to get Vance in there as VP, so he can become President when they take Trump out. It’ll be even more scary then

steelejt7

Stockpreacher knows best, so Vance is infact a loser by his standards. He would only be a winner if he was taking advantage of the american people in some ungodly corrupt way to make himself millions of dollars. guys the biggest winner here, never seen a bigger winner. Some say theres no bigger way to win than to becoming the VP of the united states, without being in it for the soul intention of capitalizing on corruption.

stockpreacher

I don't have any crypto at the moment. I trade it (short and long) sometimes. He's the VP of the United States of America with one of the most corrupt systems in place ever. And his move to get rich is to buy QQQ? It's loser shit.

theonepiecefan112

Well, Yes and no? I watched the whole breakdown of what they could have done in 2020 with the rejection of the certification of the votes. And the conclusion was, that the senate would have the power to elect the VP, and the House the President (not by votes, but by states. So each deligation per state would only get 1 vote)

agumonkey

For VP of Russian Oblast 47 not so much

joedylan94

For VP of the USA yes

chez1120

his VP is so greasy looking though

MaximumStudent1839

Did you watch his announcement today? It is pretty clear it is not just "brinksmanship". The very fact he chose Vance as his VP should wake you up from this hallucination. It is about reshoring efforts. All those who think tariffs would do just once-off increase in inflation are living in lalaland if the end goal is reshoring.

Danixveg

There is literally no story. Biden dedicated his life to civil service.. he never had a nickel to rub together until after he was VP. The guy is what we should all hope for Republicans like to rewrite history.. just like they did to HRC. BENGAZI! Then she isnt elected and all of a sudden who cares, am I right?

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift

So he hasn’t really pushed us forward… electric cars haven’t made much advances in decades aren’t being utilized, space travel is the same as it has been for the past 20 years only real contribution is the reusable rocket but it has extreme limitations because of weight restrictions, star link is definitely a good thing for people who need it, solar city hasn’t made any advances, twitter is definitely less regulated which can go either way but it’s heavily in the negative. My credentials: PhD engineer, 200 publication, 50 patents, current VP of semiconductor company, have also worked for Tesla so first hand account for you.

capecodderf1

Can't even look up ski conditions without reading pages of nonsense about physically harassing and cleverly suggesting death upon a month-in VP. I don't know what's a bigger waste of energy in that instance, chasing a powerless politician or writing fan fiction on the subject. One thing is certain though redditors got time on their hands must be nice!

longview97

Haha you don’t need proof he’s corrupt you just think he is with no proof it must be a trust me bro situation. Do you hear what you’re saying? Nope you don’t because you’ve lost all common sense due to your TDS.  You believe what ever you make up with no proof. You don’t even try to seek truth you just believe what people say with no proof and take their word or you just make it up in your head and believe what makes you feel better to support your made up narrative.   We know Biden was corrupt as there was plenty of evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop along with a number of Hunters’s business associates that talked to investigators about Joe’s role the family corruption. They sold access to Joe Biden via Hunter taking money from Ukraine and China. Joe is even on tape saying that he threatened to pull $1 Billion of US funding to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor that was looking into Burisma the company that Hunter Biden sat on the Board of Directors.  Joe was the VP at the time and had no authority to pull the funding from Ukraine as that was earmarked from congress.  Also that was the American tax payers money that he was using to influence a foreign government to look the other way while he was profiting from corruption.

He was better at handling stuff when Pence was his VP.

So tell me why did he go to a bitcoin summit in person? Why didn’t he send the VP or one of his financial lackeys? People who aren’t interested don’t go places they don’t want nothing to do with.

Both parties were pro-crypto? Harris was VP of the administration strangling cyrpto! Do you honestly think she was going to appoint pro-crypto anyone? She would keep the same damn people in place.

Barky_Bark

Id like to start giving him proper respect and call him “President Musk” at this point. The other guy can be “VP cuck”

Lance_Farmstrong

Never heard 20% to the big man ? Biden is as corrupt as it gets . You think it’s a coincidence his son was an executive for a Ukrainian energy company while he was VP or working at a Chinese company while he was a VP ?

Longgrain54

Now, search for all of the stories about his followers sinking their life savings into it, losing it, not realizing that all of them are sharing 10% of the coins. Meanwhile, we’ve gone from a president who doesn’t honor his oath, paired with a VP, now trashed, for honoring his oath, to a president and a VP who don’t honor their oaths. The critical mass of stupidity and ignorance is on all of our screens daily. Who wants to complain about the failures of the Dept of Education, when the leaders are acting like a pair of neighborhood, corner bullies?

Bred_Slippy

She was VP when Operation Chokepoint 2.0 was in full swing.  

Crawwarch

I know this is outside the things we’re allowed to “discuss” here, but the ONDO Summit kick off in New York Thursday Feb 6. I feel like we should all be paying attention. Speakers include: - The founder of LINK - Chief Assets Manager, BNY - Head of Asset Management, Blackrock - Senior VP of Asset Management, Franklin Templeton - Former Chair of the House Financial Services Committee - Execs from Pantera, Mastercard, Citi, WisdomTree, DTCC, Ripple, and Wellington Investments $ONDO is not fucking around. While some Ondo announcement is certainly possible, just the breadth of finance relationships that they are cultivating can only be bullish. Downvote if you are agitated I didn’t shit on ETH or whatever.

TrickBee7626

Neither Gold or silver have intrinsic value in this sense, but the prices are somewhat tethered to reality because they have some value as an industrial commodity. My educated guess is that the speculative value of these commodities is a rather large portion of the price. I don't see how crypto as an investment is tethered to anything other than speculation. It may be, but I have not read anything that would explain it. I have seen many people try, but they either have no idea what they are talking about, are to emotionally attached to crypto as an investment, offer confused unfocused explanations, or quickly change the subject. Some are just used car salesmen. Moreover, gold has a track record. When I was studying economics in college gold was not traded, and the price was set by the government at $35 an ounce. Around the time I was in grad school the price restriction was removed and it was traded. Since that time there has been a history of value growth which has been fairly stable. My wife was the VP of a small precious metals firm in the early 80's. I have owned some actual gold and silver since that time. Over the past ten years I have purchased gold ETF's. Over the past 8 -10 years the growth of the gold ETF's is about 8% per year. I use it as a hedge, and was surprised by the growth in value. Bottom line is that investing is hard, but it is much easier and safer than trading. That is true whether it involves stocks, bonds, commodities, or crypto. If you are going to own crypto it should be a small part of a balanced portfolio. Then again, what do I know, other than I have made many mistakes in the past, am currently making mistakes, and will continue to do so in the future. It seems to me many people involved in crypto believe that they don't suffer from that same problem. I wish them luck.

Zombieneker

Yeah, that's how altright populists win. With fear and getting people to vote against their self interests. Also, the democratic party fucked up bigtime. I don't want to say it was rigged from the inside, but cmon. Joe biden said he was only going to serve one term as a transition president, AND THEN HE STILL RAN AGAIN. When he stepped down, they UNDEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED KAMALA HARRIS, ond of the most unpopular VP's in history. It's like a fully grown man racing against a baby but before starting the race he shoots both of his feet and shatters a femur.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift

Nah like 2028ish we started building them when Biden added to Trumps and put more tariffs in place. Automotive, semiconductor, manufacturing facilities. Nissan and Toyota have factories being built. Intel, Micron, and TSMC all having fabs being built. Samsung has an electronics manufacturing facility. I’m a VP at a semiconductor company and this was the major reasons we’ve built 3 new fabs in the US in the past 4 years.

Amins66

Right? Lol Best we can do, 12yrs. That's how long it'll take the new dnc VP's balls to drop

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift

You are thinking short term tariffs are a long term plan. It’s already working to the US advantage. I’m a VP at Intel and people are lining up to switch to our foundry because of the potential 100% tariff on TSMC.

Get_the_nak

If that happens VP will fire NYSE president Martin.

devCheckingIn

Well that's a bit ridiculous. We know that he's putting pro-crypto staff in important positions like SEC Chair and Treasury Secretary. Important people in the crypto industry like Armstrong and Garlinghouse have his ear. The VP and Trump's sons own a lot of crypto assets. If the Congress passes a bill to create the SBR Trump will sign it. The situation is completely different than the previous administration.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift

I know it’s directly related to a policy Regan made. I forgot which it was but that policy resulted in the immediate flip the following years. Now as for the flip back thats definitely a combination of the government and business. I own a few small businesses and one thing I can say is cities keep increasing property taxes on commercial real estate which force the owners to hike rents which directly translates into cost of goods, also they keep hiking taxes on businesses profits. Also, I’m a VP at a semiconductor company every time we get corporate tax increases the business decision is do layoffs to keep profits stable. So it’s interesting because small businesses only have the ability to translate tax increases into the cost of goods. Whereas big companies try to keep goods cheap to remain competitive but translate tax increases into work force reductions. In my opinion the path we’re heading down is local municipalities and state governments will be taxing small businesses so much they won’t be able to sustain anymore. Corporations will want to keep prices low to stay competitive so they will have incredibly small work forces with AI and automation doing everything. Everyone else will be unemployed on enough government assistance to sustain life but nothing more. It’s kind of like NYC.

Curious on this, because I don't know the VP legal limits. Would he be able to run as a VP?

If you had to judge administrations by better or worse for crypto, how would you judge the Biden-Harris admin, vs the upcoming Trump admin? Keeping a few facts in mind: * Biden-Harris lead operation Chokepoint, effectively banning banks from doing business with crypto companies. * Biden-Harris' SEC chief lead a series of lawsuits against the industry. * Democrats actively lead initiatives to destroy the industry, many lead by Warren. * Trump's entire family owns crypto. * Trump's VP owns crypto. * All the independents Trump has surrounded himself with either own crypto and or are pro-crypto. how would you judge the Biden-Harris admin, vs the upcoming Trump admin?

devCheckingIn

Ok but every time he nominates somebody to a key position that person ends up being someone who is pro-crypto. So even beyond Trump there is the staff of the administration. And of course the VP holds something like $1m in BTC.

LOL... ."Ex" Also... "VP" means nothing in finance. Anyone handling mortgages has VP in their title. Are you seriously telling me that mortgages are not sold continuously? No one wants to have a 30 year rick on their balance sheet.

They're not mutually exclusive. Imagine driving a Corolla and dying in a car accident because it lacked all the modern safety features and technology. I had a VP at my old company who made $500K a year and drove a 1970s Dodge Shadow that has no air bags. I can own Bitcoin and still have a decent car and kitchen.

I get what you are saying. The truth is we shouldn’t accept that.

Dude, Trump fired practically every member of his cabinet last time around. Sometimes fired multiple people in the same position. The same argument was made before 2016. “He’ll hire the best people!” Well a fuck ton of those people he hired signed a letter together saying he shouldn’t be let anywhere near the White House ever again. Trump chose such a great VP the first time around. But why does he have a different one this time? Oh yeah, he asked the last one to overturn the election in 2020. And when he refused, his supporters had gallows waiting for him on the lawn of the Capitol. Of course every leader is visiting with Trump, he is the president-elect. Have you never heard of a lame duck president?… If he ran the country so well, why did he lose as the incumbent in 2020? He got beat by Sleepy Joe! How embarrassing.

Accurate_Sir625

You think Trump will run the country alone? I'm talking about all of the people he is hiring. Elon, Vivek, etc. Sleepy Joe couldn't even pick a decent VP. How the hell could he run a country? Dang, he is still president but the world does not seem to know it. Every leader is visiting with Trump because they know they have to.

Former VP of Equities Tech for BAML (I helped create that domain name too) … company went to actual crap when BoA bailed us out. We were top notch for trading. The tech you use today in trading for Blockchain Products is 110% the same tech we use on Wall Street. It’s not the same since 2008 and I left all of Wall St, long hair swinging, middle finger in the air style. When I resigned they tried suing me and saying I was supposed to give 6 months notice for moving on, it took a team of six to replace “me.” I called their bluff and left 3 months later.

>The real cognitive dissonance is voting for Trump ONLY because he pandered to you and you think it might help your bags. Considering that he himself and his son own crypto, so does his VP, is appointing pro crypto people to positions of power, and is surrounded by independents who are pro-crypto, I'd argue that it's not "pandering" at all. It translates to action. >The real cognitive dissonance is voting for Trump ONLY because he pandered to you and you think it might help your bags. My wallet affects every single aspect of my family's life (from the roof over our head to the food on the table). So no, it makes perfect sense to vote accordingly.

I mean the new VP has close to a million dollars worth of Bitcoin himself.

not to mention that Peter Thiel, the billionaire behind VP elect JD Vance, is the owner of Methuselah. And now he has multiple elected officials doing his bidding…

I have plenty of sources to back my claim up. I'm not making these claims wildly by any means. So there's a lot you have to factor. It's not just investing money that's going to be flowing in. It's tokenized assets. The tokenized asset market is 100s of trillions. We also have to factor in the money that will flow into the ecosystems from actual utilization not just investments. All of traditional finance is on track to being tokenizrd and gain access to the entire blockchain space in a 6 month to a year time frame. This is an estimated time frame given by some of the top worlds financial execs. Like VP for Franklin Templeton. The world's wealth of money and assets is all coming on chain and we've never been closer than we are right now ✌️ That's why so many in the space and so many projects are estimating that this cycle is very different.

Let it begin. PT got his man in VP. Just wait till we default in 2025

Look at the people who gave him money. Tons of cryptocurrency businesses. Elon musk, Peter Thiel really support bitcoin. His VP owns a bunch of it. A bunch of people who went to bat for him support Bitcoin and crypto in general. He wont do anything against them.

AmongTheElect

Sure does. Trump has said he wants to put Bitcoin in US reserves, he's been crypto-friendly and his VP is a degenerate altcoin owner. Now you can argue all you want about how earnest he was about being pro-crypto and it's fair to doubt any politician. But either way that's certainly a world better than the other side which has been largely opposed to crypto. Gensler has pretty well sued any crypto project all apart from the ones which deserved to be sued, and leaders in the party like Elizabeth Warren absolutely hate it and want it made illegal.

applewait

Right, but you implied that in her current role she had authority and responsibility for things a vice president isn’t supposed to do ( a VP can’t do pardons, can’t pass laws, etc etc etc)

Snakepli55ken

The VP cannot pardon people. Please re enroll in a highschool government class.

IronChai

Where did i say the VP had more? Did you fail reading comprehension?

IronChai

VP has no power?

yourmothermypocket

Does she now? Not going to lie, this one makes me laugh every time. The VP is bound by the constitution not to have sweeping power as that could challenge the president. They are a tie-break vote for the senate and a bench warmer if anything happens to the president. It was designed this way.

Snakepli55ken

Lmao she was VP not president

The market doesn’t care. Trump is bullish. He has been bullish all his life. At least half of the people he surrounds himself with are deep into crypto, including his son and the VP. The SEC is currently trying to kill crypto, and they are at it for years now. Harris doesn’t even speak emphasize crypto, she mentioned it a few times but it’s their government that is trying to overregulate and censor this currency. Trump is gonna protect you dollar at all costs. So will Harris. But saying that Donald Trump won’t do any good to crypto and it’s value, is just plain stupid.

Dont_Waver

How do you bet on who won a VP debate? That sounds way too subjective. Who is the arbiter?

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/aug/09/donald-trump/how-many-miles-of-border-wall-did-donald-trump-bui/ 50 some miles of new walls. 400 some miles of replacement walls. Altogether, Cato Institute a right leaning libertarian think tank declared Trump’s wall did not work at keeping illegal immigrants out. See https://www.cato.org/blog/border-wall-didnt-work Nor did Trump get Mexico to pay for any part of the wall. His promises are garbage. I will go further and ask this: “why didn’t he do anything for cryptocurrency when he was the president?” Harris was VP and had no power. Trump did and didn’t do squat. No thanks.

Bit_of_a_Degen

…she’s literally the VP of a president who has vetoed multiple bi-partisan crypto regulation bills and is associated with Elizabeth Warren and her “anti-crypto army” Harris has avoided talking about the subject of crypto AT ALL because she knows she cant talk about any policy that would be remotely controversial if she wants a chance in hell of winning Not to mention she wants to make Gensler treasury secretary If you don’t understand why Biden and Harris are anti-crypto, you’re not informed.

Slimalicious

is this your first time voting dude? You think any president, VP, senator, congressman, etc. sits down and handwrites all their policies? Harris wants to regulate crypto, which is necessary. No laws means the SEC sues everyone. Plus no banks or FI's will hop in. Trump wants to deregulate so he can keep grifting his shitty NFTs and tokens. You decide.

noblepensador

Well you Americans have witnessed both Kamala as VP and Trump as President. You have the necessary information to make the right choice, there's a lot at stake.

Lemon_Club

Name one. How would it possibly benefit him to brack track on crypto? Especially when everyone around him including his VP pick and sons are pro crypto.

hjames9

He's not ǰust "slightly better", it's night and day versus Kamala and the Democrats. In regards to other topics, we're speaking specifically about crypto, and Trump is world's apart from Kamala on that issue. People are disingenuous when they attempt to try and say otherwise. Trump has spoken at Bitcoin conferences, mentioned several times he'd fire Gary Gensler and other anti-crypto bureaucrats leading federal agencies, opposes the formation of a CBDC, vocally supported several US bills to appropriately regulate crypto and digital assets without killing the industry. He personally owns crypto via his NFT sales, and his VP owns Bitcoin and other assets directly.

> I mean, his son has several crypto wallets, and his VP owns crypto. That means exactly … *nothing*. Anyone who’s got a bit of spare money and isn’t a million years old will have “several crypto wallets”. Because dabbling a little here and a little there is what people with free cash do. The moment you get your fingers into any “utility” project, you almost automatically have to have three wallets: the wallet for the native token, some kind of MetaMask or similar to swap it into something useable, and a CEX wallet to cash out. And if you look behind the scenes of their stupid little “freedom-coin-whatever” project, you will quickly discover that crypto is just another space where the Trump slimebags are trying to grift. 75% reserved for the family, and once you buy it, you can’t sell it. 🤦‍♂️ Trump would be so busy playing golf again as president, and attending court dates, he wouldn’t get around to doing shit about crypto.

>I am tired of this fake narrative that a Trump presidency will be better for Crypto. Trump's son has several crypto wallets, and his VP owns crypto. He has also aligned himself with independents who are pro-crypto. He is surrounded by people who are pro-crypto. So I'd argue that a Trump win is 500% more bullish for crypto than a Kamala win, whose administration worked tireleslly to destroy the industry, and has now surrounded herself with the traditional establishment (from neocons, to establishment Republicans, and bank CEOs). A vote for Kamala is a vote against crypto. And if that's your choice, fine. But don't gaslight yourself and others into believing that both candidates are equally bad for the industry. Based on the facts we know today, one candidate is objectively better for crypto.
