A lot of people here get downvoted for pointing out that USA Democrats are enemies of Bitcoin, as if Republicans are an equally large threat. Let me make something clear...

When a Republican comes out supporting Bitcoin, they're always faking or groveling for votes. When a Democrat comes out supporting Bitcoin, they're always 'waking up' or 'coming around'. Broken clocks may be right twice a day, but if the USA's Congress if filled with broken clocks then it certainly seems Republican broken clocks are syncing more often than Democrat broken clocks. Why is that?

  • Texas is to Republicans as New York is to Democrats. New York partially banned Bitcoin mining, and environmental activists in the state are hungry for more. Texas has loudly invited more. Wyoming, another Republican state, is clamoring to the same.
  • The energy FUD expressly targets voters who give a damn about environmentalism in the first place. If you're outside the USA then you may be forgiven for not knowing, but Republicans are not well known for their environmentalism. To the extent that Republicans do claim to care about the environment, it's always cast as some flavor of fakery. (Note that particular framing is from NYT - hint hint.) In other words: Energy FUD is almost exclusively pandering to Democrats.
  • It's been said numerous times that CBDCs represent the "final boss" for Bitcoin. This does not mean it's a mortal threat to Bitcoin, but merely ideologically opposed. Bitcoin is freedom money. CBDC is slave money. Florida is largely Republican and has recently passed explicitly anti-CBDC legislation. Minnesota, another Republican state, is doing the same. Texas is considering it too. Others will almost certainly follow. Where are the Democratic states doing, or even contemplating this?

[edit] Sorry but saying "They're all the same" is just lazy. It's a reflex that conveniently allows us to dodge the mental work forced by nuance. For such thinkers, the world will never (ever) have better or worse politicians because it smoothes out all distinctions. It's the same oversimplification made by overzealous religious fanatics and political ideaolgues - subconsciously they've made their world model easy to process by refusing to increase its resolution. It's not a matter of being caught up in some "two-party brainwashing bullshit" - it's about being aware that our potential leaders exist on a spectrum of distinctions. Thomas Jefferson and Stalin cannot possibly be equivalent, so they must exist on a gradient. Choose, goddamnit, and choose wisely!

[2nd edit] Minnesota is not a Republican state, I stand corrected on that point. But its only Republican representative is the one pushing for anti-CBDC legislation.
