Why would you want Bernie Sanders to be at the forefront of Monero? Bernie isn't at all the poster child for this, because it would be against the Feds and private banks, which I would believe, that he is good with... Plus he's socialist, I thought the majority of XMR folks here were libertarians... spying and analysing your data is going to be his specialty.

Sorry, one last semi-off-topic political post since I just found this clip. There was some discussion two pages ago about how Bernie would be bad for crypto (and Monero) and I disagreed. I gave a link that showed he is staunchly against NSA spying, and I recently found this clip where he tears into Wall Street and the banks for abusing the money creation system:

I doubly stand by my statement that out of any possible candidate, Bernie would be *by far* the friendliest President for cryptocurrency. Vote however you like, but it's important food for thought. We will need the kind of people in power that can ease Monero's rise to dominance.

Well, talking and representing is one thing, doing what you promised is the other guys Shocked

If you think that one politician will do what he promised in a presidential position, is like believing that pills will build muscles without lifting a single weight.
In the EU i remember the election from Mr. Nobel Peace Price "Black Bush" Obama Puppet, who promised to shut down Guantanamo, now he is one of the biggest Warleaders and Warmakers in the whole world.
90% of US economy is owned by less then 2% of US citizens, so you hopefully do not believe that any President will change this. The last one who tried this was killed on 22.11.1963.

Sanders is a nice guy and tries to build a bridge to the EU, calling out Swedens, Denmarks and Norways Economy for example, but the link is quite broken to the non existence of a mondial warfare of the mentioned countries.

US economy is build on armory, meat and corn, US police kills more people than the EU has lost in wars the last decade. So do you believe that one small president in name Sanders will be able to turn the county 180° around to be peaceful, caring and independent from other countries and states Shocked

Well, this will stay a soggy dream in your mind americanpegasus
