10 million for them is like 10 bucks to the average earner lol

Peanuts for them, riches for us

You don’t just give away a million a day in Pennsylvania to get people to vote for Trump without expecting a big return.

@Kiernan
That’s true. Two things can be true at once.

And? Don’t we hope she’ll ease up on crypto?

She answers to the same people who support Biden, the same ones who gave us Gensler. She just says what feels politically smart but has shown she represents the administration that’s been hard on crypto. That’s one reason she probably won’t become president. This just confirms what many have said about Ripple and XRP.

@Reuben4

she represents the administration that’s been unsupportive of crypto

You’re showing your lack of understanding about crypto history.

The ICO era was poorly managed under Trump and caused fears and uncertainties in the industry. When Trump was in charge, they essentially threatened to shut down crypto. They viewed most ICOs as securities and made life difficult for everyone.

No administration has been kind to crypto, but we can’t pretend Biden’s team is worse than Trump’s. Under Trump, we witnessed severe overreactions. Biden is taking a more legal approach, dealing with some projects directly instead of targeting the entire industry.

The real question moving forward is about who will be in charge. Are Biden and Kamala truly the same, or are you just assuming that?

From the advisor view, you’re partly correct. Biden had one pro-crypto advisor from Ripple, while Kamala has two, including one from Binance. Trump didn’t have any pro-crypto advisors.

We’re still waiting to see if Kamala will appoint someone new to the SEC. Rumors suggest they’re debating three possible candidates to replace Gensler, with Chris Brummer being a leading name.

Tell me you’re bad at this without saying so.

I bought my first Bitcoin for 8 dollars, which means I’ve been in crypto for thirteen years and work in this field. Trump’s reign was not friendly to crypto, but Gensler’s comments had the most significant adverse effect on the industry. He implied that nearly everything aside from Bitcoin was a security, which made many companies move operations out of the US. I don’t trust Trump, but I believe he’ll look out for his own interests, which reassures me he’s engaged in his own NFT projects.

This is a way to ask for a bigger return. It could mean changing laws or policies or whatever.

Worked well for SBF and that wasn’t even his money.

This is Ripple’s whole plan. Keep a big reserve and donate small amounts for favors.

So what does Elon want from Trump?

Politics in the US runs this way. If he were smart, he’d donate 10 million to both parties. That’s how Blackrock and Vanguard operate.

The return is hiding the Epstein list. Trump is gonna serve that list up like a Happy Meal with fries.

@Quin
Trump is Doe 174 and Epstein died on his watch.

He won’t expose the list. He didn’t last term, and recently he hesitated when asked about it.

@Quin
Why didn’t he release it during his first term then? The list was accessible during his presidency, especially since he was not on it and major Democrats are. It could have helped him beat Biden.

@Thane
Idiot Trump is terrified of that list. He’s guilty of much more than we know. Trump must go away.
