Bitcoin surged to a two-week high on Monday after the attempted assassination of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump raised the odds of the former president, who has presented himself as a champion of cryptocurrency, winning the upcoming election.

when he was president the first time. the IRS started making all those rules about how you had to pay taxes even if you didn't convert it to fiat. so his history is that he hasn't done anything to help people using crypto, bitcoin in particular. he's just sat by and let the IRS make all these rules. rules that hurt people using bitcoin.

i think he had his chance once and he dropped the ball. i don't know why he deserves a second chance.
