For people who wants to give him the benefit of the doubt and try to excuse his past behavior about bitcoin by saying he has changed, you are correct.
He has changed because now bitcoin can actually benefit him. He didn’t see any benefit back then but he does now that’s why he is leeching to bitcoin and cryptocurrency really hard. But if in the rare case he truly has changed and genuinely supports bitcoin then that is a win for us. In the meantime, don’t fall too much for his promises.
If it was that easy to change, should've done it a long time ago right? I mean the only reason why I think he's saying all of this good things about bitcoin is because he needs the votes from our community, no other reason I can think of besides that, politicians are known to be lying to their teeth anyway so what difference is this one when things like this happens, what I want when a politician is speaking about this is that they do the praise when they're in the position already and that they're already doing all they can to create a legislation that helps or supports the people that are a part of the bitcoin community.
