I personally think it does matter. Overall, most of the retail is waiting for the election result and if it comes in favor of Donald Trump, BTC price will rise up quickly.
This is a pure speculation as of now however if this happens, you will see it happening right in front of you. Donald Trump winning as a US president is some how bullish for Crypto.
As he have advertised himself as a savior of Crypto.
I don't really believe much about the election manipulation as to what will become of Bitcoin after the election, nothing is very certain because people most times consider making promises or using strategies they feel is good enough to get much of support from people and after assuming office they do the other wise, the thing is we shouldn't raise a higher expectations, Bitcoin will still survive with or without the election manipulations.
