I can't see any other way to take back the power from the big banks instantly (and to make them tamer)

But it would be a huge risk for any politician to endorse bitcoin as part of policy, especially since gox.

The more I think about it the more I'd like to see Bernie Sanders elected. His opinion regarding bitcoin is unclear but it can't be worse than the other asshole on the other side, who is probably backed by JP Morgan and other big banks, right? If Trump is elected it's gonna be bad for bitcoin, whatever. So yeah, go Bernie.

Politicians will never use the word Bitcoin in the run up to the election, because it is too controversial. They will talk about alternative technologies or something similar. It is all about demographics and statistics at this stage. Not a lot of people know about Bitcoin or are in favor of it, so it would be stupid to suggest it now, in a election period.

Let's hope, both of them like Bitcoin.

Why is his age important anyway?

Don't worry. Trump will be the next president.

I'm sure he could pull that off:
"Let's make BTC-friendly legislations. Then we'll tax all the holders at 50% and give the money to the poor".

What's more, Rand was in fact accepting bitcoins for his presidential campaign. Not quite directly but through BitPay, but that still counts.

If Bernie becomes president... money will flow out of the USA like crazy.

Offshore, Bitcoin and other such things.

I feel the same

Everyone would definitely go for that


He's pretty much too old to get anything, I think. Fresh faces on the government would be much better.
