   I don't really have any crypto investments, I lost the keys to my BTC a few years ago. I have a small crypto project that's not worth much, I'm trying to create an autonomous cjdns network out of it but it's an up-hill battle.
   
   Everything is an uphill battle in this economy, government prints money and uses it to hire political loyalists, then this causes more inflation making everyone else poorer.
   
   Now about 2000 Mules, you have your opinion and I have mine - neither of us can say we really know any of this for a FACT, it could all be Plato's Cave. But between the more-or-less incontrovertible surveillance videos, and the numeric irregularities, I think it's more likely than not that 2020 was stolen.
   
   If you want to know my politics, well, the only presidential candidate I've ever really been excited about was Ron Paul. But alas, they ran 12 people against him to split the vote and make sure he couldn't win. I'm still not over Bush's opiate epidemic, normalization of torture, and general destruction of the American lifestyle. And I'm also not over Clinton's WTO and NAFTA gutting the American economy.
   
   I have vague childhood memories of the 90s, and to imagine a person living in that era and saying "yeah, lets send all the factories to China, lets create the Patriot Act and normalize torture, then we'll start endless wars, print 30Tn$ and create an opioid epidemic".
   
   Mere public execution is far too kind for these people.
   
   So what do I think of Trump? Well, the people who destroyed the country I grew up in all seem terrified of him, so that's about the best endorsement anyone can give.
   
   If he stands a chance of shutting down the federal government, that's even better.
   
   But who knows how things will really end up, a person like you or I have very little chance of influencing anything, the best we can hope for is to try to predict where things are heading and get out in front of them.
   
   I'd rather be trying to build something in a We're Going To Mars world than try to carve out some niche for myself in a multi-century long Fall of Rome timeline where everything keeps getting just a tiny bit worse every year.

     @cjd Caleb, help me out. You’re not daft, you made CJDNS. But there’s dozens of sworn witnesses who’ve taken death threats & online attacks to state Trump tried to steal 2016. De Souza’s film has how many named and sworn witnesses to back up its claims? If it was true where are the court cases? It’s whataboutery propaganda - like this Musk-funded ‘Progress 2028’ set up to deflect from Project 2025. Do you really believe what you’re saying, or is this about your crypto investments?
