I used to be so confident about bitcoin until i discovered Trump said “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity….” back in 2019. Now i'm starting to think shit like what if it's just some bs ponzi scheme that the deep state motherfuckers use to launder money? I mean, Trump gets pretty much everything else right. Anyone got any opinions on this?

On one hand, his statement describes paper money too. On the other hand, the inventor of Bitcoin is a complete mystery. It’s some mythological guy. So maybe the cia and deep state created it? Who knows, but it’s hard for me to trust it without knowing who created it. Gold and silver I think are the solution if we can move back to money backed by metal.
Most likely the creator of bitcoin was a guy named Hal Finney who passed away from ALS in 2014.
However if cryo preservation works he might come back someday to collect his treasure.
