My port-mortem take on why Dems lost on the Bitcoin/crypto issue: They dismissed it altogether, letting the Right define it. D's left to build their brand posturing against it. Biden admin's hostility couldn't have saved Kamala in time, even if she had distanced herself from him.

I retreated from Bitcoin spaces b/c of toxic men like Dennis Porter singling me out as"enemy # 1" and the pervasive rape culture. Worse, alleged "progressive" Bitcoiners were silent/ complicit. I am glad Dennis is getting called out. I hope there's more accountability to come.

Bitcoin is insurance against Worst Case Scenarios. Uh, Dems, better buy some.

Grab him by the ballot

I can confirm this is true. I'll be on as interim host until a permanent host can be found. Going forward, we'll be putting out an episode a month. Losing the only prominent left bitcoin podcast at this unique moment is just not fathomable. Thank you again, Trey, for doing your

What a great way for idiots with too much money, foreign leaders, and oligarchs to circumvent campaign finance laws and buy favor with Trump.

Let's retire the "Bitcoin isn't political" refrain. Of course Bitcoin is political! It was created in the aftermath of a global economic crisis to provide a more stable, equitable, worldwide monetary system.

I told a new friend I was a Bitcoiner. Their immediate response was to ask me if I was a Trumper. This is a problem. Reasonable people do not want to be associated with Trump. (Especially queer people in Portland)

Bitcoin Twitter reached peak irony when calling @Dennis_Porter_ a Leftist Commie. Dude is the least liberal Portlander I know. But he is a pragmatic Bitcoin policy advocate: Don't alienate one of only two US political parties, and half the electorate, in an election season!

So much more Progressive momentum for Bitcoin in 2024. Still a lot of work ahead

Bitcoin treated like a 4 letter word on the #crypto4Harris Town Hall, but still glad to see momentum

Something tells me The Dude won't be dropping in on the #Crypto4Harris town hall

Someone posing as a @coinbase employee called me to say fraud had been detected on my account. They followed up with a fraudulent email address: help@coinbase.com. Best of all, I was told to "shut the f*** bi***" when I told the caller I suspected he was not from Coinbase.

Imagine the different reception Bitcoin advocates would get from Dem lawmakers if those advocates included more women, queer folks, and democratic voters.

Single Issue Voters have less leverage when advocating for Bitcoin among Dem lawmakers b/c the majority of constituencies Dems represent don't have the privilege of being single issue Bitcoin voters.

This is exactly why positioning Bitcoin as a partisan Bro project was a terrible idea.

I don't think it's a good idea for Bitcoin to be so closely tied to opportunistic fascists and couch fuc*ers. But that's just me.

RNC platform is pro Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Biden lost his seed phrase years ago. @VP Kamala Harris played nice with fintech in CA. She'd be well positioned to yank some pro crypto voters back to the Party that includes bodily autonomy in its definition of Freedom.

I mean, I can't not shit post today. Mazel tov to all the crazy Bitcoiners for our well-earned gloating rights.
