So when all the other world leaders are meeting in person at some global summit or another, they're just going to have a live video stream of him in a cell? Yeah, that'll make the US look great on the world stage. Roll Eyes

And on top of that, people want this image associated with Bitcoin too? Trying to stifle my gag reflex here. In all seriousness, do people really understand the ramifications of this? It's like some sort of sick joke that people could even entertain the possibility that a felon could run a nation from inside a jail cell, let alone that anyone wants to support said felon by sending him Bitcoin. I swear you've all lost the plot.

It will look very bad, tbh. The US never had a President with a criminal history (AFAIK). If Trump is re-elected, it will be the first of its kind. His support of BTC is none other than a tactic to grab voters' attention. During his first term as POTUS, he treated the crypto/Blockchain industry quite lightly compared to his Democratic counterpart (Joe Biden). Maybe he'll do the same in a second term? Although, being a convicted felon would give the US a very bad image to the world.

RFK Jr. would've been a better option, but his followers/supporters are quite the minority. What will happen ater Election Day is a mystery. One thing is certain, and that is Bitcoin will survive no matter what. Assuming it stays decentralized. Cheesy
