Yes! I agree with you. I support your opinion. I hate politicians. They are scammers. They just know how to steal money. Whatever they do, it is for themselves. They never think about people. First, vote for me and after go away. They are really corrupt. How do you want them to like cryptocurrency. They just cannot. They are afraid of it. It might change the whole world. But, no chance. Cryptocurrencies are our future.

Politicians are not there because they want to change their country or help it progress, they only want to get a steady paycheck and the opportunity to steal money out of the population that they should be helping, this is why people have a mistrust of politicians since they promise something and they never fulfill those promises but with bitcoin we will take a lot of power away from them and that is a good thing.

Have you heard of the theory of the "Post-truth" era? The politicans are lying and stealing, and we know the politicians are lying and stealing, and they know that we know, so they do it anyway. If we expect them to do it, they can go ahead and do it anyway. They make a vast range of sweeping promises before getting elected, knowing quite well that they will never be able to fulfull them anyway. Then they make several extreme statements to capture the ones on each extreme. Trump is a master of it. He says things just for the sake of the dramatic impact, knowing perfectly well that everybody knows he doesn't really mean it.

No I never heard of it, but after researching a little bit it was an interesting read, but to be honest this is nothing new but in the past things were a little bit different, in The Last Stand of the 300 there were 2 battles one in land and one in the sea and Themistocles was commanding the naval forces and years before the battle he was convinced that the war will find them again and he lied to the population so they constructed more ships to fight a rival city when in fact he wanted the ships for the upcoming war, but at least that lie was told for the greater good while politicians only lie now to benefit themselves.
