A positive Newsweek editorial? What is going on?
Bitcoin is a force of its own, however. In fact, it's a Trojan horse. While some tout bitcoin to line their pockets and others to fill the ballot box, bitcoin exists for neither. In essence, bitcoin is resistance money. It serves those outside the halls of power—especially those vulnerable to financial censorship.

Trump says a lot of things. People are slow learners. First off, many believe pretty much any politician that says what they like. I do give some people a pass on Trump though. He did do many things that Republicans have been promising to do my whole life for what that is worth. But, he also says something and back peddles on it. Its a pattern with him.
In the end, we don't need them but he could do some stuff that is better than what has been done up to this point. Not gonna make me support him but I'd be happy to see a move in a better direction.

Not read it yet but by the title I can say that 'Bitcoin is already bigger than any country, government or law.'

I'll say it again, don't take politicians at their word. They'll flip-flop on you in a heartbeat.
Unsurprising, really. Powerful people usually don't care for disruptive technologies that compete with the systems they control.

The most surprising thing about this editorial is that it was published in the most mainstream, normie magazine in the U. S. Bitcoin is officially mainstream, IMO, for whatever that is worth.

mainstream is like being famous for a minute. I reckon it officially went mainstream when it showed up on The Simpsons 🤠

Unfortunately, we share a common problem with the global community: honest and capable politicians rarely have promising careers in politics.

Good to hear from a publication that isn't on the right, in fact, it inches towards the left.

For people that value holding their wealth, I think this is very important. Especially now that the government is doing all of these things to inflate your money to zero.

The government can use the growing influence of the crypto industry and bitcoin by supporting pro-bitcoin policies and easing regulatory crackdowns. It’s that simple
