Just like I said in another thread, we will have more presidents who are in support of bitcoins from most countries soon. The political landscape is shifting, old politicians being replaced by younger ones who surely hold a different opinion on bitcoins.
In the coming years, we will see more policies from different countries in support of bitcoin.
Do you think that politics and politicians will allow BTC to be a decentralized cryptocurrency that they will support at the expense of their national currencies? What the politicians are doing is just an attempt to divert BTC in the direction where their mentors want it, namely the banks and large corporations that protect fiat and central banks at all costs.
Step 1 - buy as much BTC as possible without attracting much attention while controlling the largest BTC mining farms.
Step 2 - force everyone who does business with BTC to do strict AML checks, which has the effect of discouraging people from paying with it, because any transaction can be marked as
"dirty" if analyzed deeply enough.
Step 3 - implement a hard fork of BTC that will enable maximum control over BTC - which will not be a problem if they have millions of BTC in their possession and if they control all large mining farms.
It's really strange to see so many old members who think that BTC's success must come through politics - as if they've ever done any good for the world.
