Money War and Politics
I watched as he vocalized my hope for the future of Bitcoin as a means to minimize corruption in the government and returning power to people instead mega corporations, banksters, and government puppets more concerned with maintaining the status quo.
While watching and listening, I noticed he slid his eyeglasses to his forehead and spoke; after making his point, he slid them over his eyes to check his notes and popped them back up on his forehead to deliver his thoughts. The words were not teleprompter droning. We all are far too tired of hearing from our leadership but rather heartfelt and rational words with the air of Don’t just believe me; find out for yourself. He encouraged everyone to use their critical thinking and discuss it with others. The eyeglass thing was another tip-off that he was not concerned about what you thought about him personally; instead, he had an important, urgent message.
For far too long, the military-industrial complex has had a stranglehold on the American economy. Bitcoin was property ownership that government could not take away. It represents freedom of speech, kinda like “citizens united” for everyone. It means a world where if the government wants to wage war, it will have to ask politely for the money instead of spending trillions in proxy wars rewarding military contractors.
I was in fifth grade when our teacher came into the classroom tearful and very disturbed (unlike her) to tell us that something terrible had happened and school was dismissed and we should go home. His uncle was shot and killed in Dallas. At ten years old, I waited for our government to find out what was happening and bring the assassins to justice. But, unfortunately, many years later, it seems our government was the assassin.
Trust is easily broken; my faith in government was broken by the BS excuses for Kennedy’s death. Bobby was the last straw. Clearly, power was not with the people. We were just along for the ride, a way to pump legitimacy (and hard-earned wages) into a corrupt establishment that has been struggling ever since to regain legitimacy; today, it’s just a dumpster fire.
It has been said of Biden that his superpower is that he is not crazy. But, unfortunately, he is also not anything to write home to mother about. Another cog in the broken wheel that makes up the US government. We need leaders not taking up our time with BS about “Green Eggs and Ham,” what pronouns to use, or how to slice up a voting district to favor their party. Not too old; hell, I’m seventy; he’s just out of touch.
We all long for a change that doesn’t lead us further down the unsustainable path to oblivion. I am a believer in the power of Bitcoin to change our trajectory; the bad news is that we may not last that long. I listened to Kennedy because I was interested in his views on Bitcoin and discovered he had a natural substance and heart. Like when I first bought Bitcoin, my curiosity led me to learn more about economics, money, and finance. It’s that rabbit hole everyone talks about. Kennedy is far more than just a shadow of his famous family; there is substance, asking the difficult questions that politicians are afraid to ask instead of screaming profanity and bragging, “I gave them hell.” “National Divorce” or waging war on Bitcoin because it’s not a cryptocurrency she can control.

Brian, are you conflating MTG with EW? No, it seems the wingnuts are coming out in both parties. It’s not time for more nanny state or crazy state; it is time for more critical reasoning.
OK, so you sound angry, Brian? It’s more that I realize what Elenor Rosevelt said, “Anger is one letter short of Danger.”
