Bitcoin went up 500% under president Biden. Bitcoin doesn't need special favors from a government in order to survive and thrive. But Bitcoin absolutely can be destroyed if Bitcoin is associated with something the American people wish to consign to the ash heap of history.

The Bitcoin community should, at minimum, stay out of US politics. But insofar as members do, they should support the moderate status quo in Washington that was present when Bitcoin doubled in value over and over again--in other words, support VP Harris for president and the Democrats.

For me, it's not the U.S.A. president that made Bitcoin go up 500%, there are a lot of things to consider.
I don't agree that the Bitcoin community should at minimum stay out of US Politics because at first, Bitcoin itself is decentralized, open for all, and no one can control it. So everyone can have their choice what to do especially when it comes to politics or their personal own views.

I don't understand why he keeps repeating that in each of his comments, while there are issues like the SEC attacking the cryptocurrency industry, governments increasing control and even trying to shut down mixer...All these bad things are also happening under President Biden but I don't see him mentioning it.
Even if he's right about bitcoin rising 500% under President Biden, what about bitcoin's previous price increases? Bitcoin is 15 years old and has grown by millions of percent, not just that paltry 500%, and that's a pretty modest increase.

Did you notice, he said we should stay away from US politics but then emphasized that we should vote for Vice President Harris? LOL.
