Hopefully he follows through. Someone on his team has clearly been advising him on the right things to say.
I think it's pretty much all Vivek. I haven't heard him say anything good that wasn't part of Vivek's campaign first.
Jinx lol
You and I said Vivek almost simultaneously
I want to see the instant replay
According to the time stamps, I beat you by 6 seconds.

Is that supposed to be a donkey? Are you suggesting you are an ass?
That, sir, is the one and only Quick Draw McGraw.
I know the name but had no idea it was an animated horse.
Your cultural ignorance astounds me.
Yes, I originally thought the notifications came in the other way but on second look seems you were first.
Should I make this guy my new profile pic? He seems about as on-brand as possible.
Yes 🙌
It’s like sniping bids on eBay lol
I never understood why people did that. It's a second highest bid auction, just bid what you're willing to pay and leave it alone.

Actually a pretty smart move to merge Trump’s popularity with Vivek’s ideas.
Vivek
Yes, undisciplined suggested the same. Makes sense.
Seems like he's more serious about this than I expected
I'm not buying it.
I don't know if I'm "buying" anything, but just having the meeting is more than I expected.
There's no downside. Who knows? He is in a good position to win
Did you hear about Ted Cruz and bitcoin mining?
I also have positions in mining stocks like clean spark, wulf, marathon, riot , etc
As an investor I am cautiously optimistic.
Politically, it’s another way of being the opposite of Biden and Warren. Biden has been anti bitcoin mining.
Cruz has been supportive for a while now. I give his commitment more credibility
A lot of miners in Texas, public and private
I have seen the Ted Cruz news. It doesn’t surprise me.
I remember a couple of years ago someone caught him playing a THNDR game on the Senate floor.
Donald Trump recently met with major Bitcoin mining companies like CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, and Marathon Digital at his Mar-a-Lago residence. He expressed his desire for the remaining Bitcoin supply to be mined in the USA, stating it would help make the country "energy dominant."[2][3][4][5] Trump sees Bitcoin mining as a defense against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which he opposes.[3] He promised to support the Bitcoin mining industry if elected president in November 2024.[2][4] This marks a shift from his previous stance calling Bitcoin a "scam," as he now aims to gain support from the crypto community ahead of the election.[3]
