So which one of you VIP-Anons will be the first to ask Trump a Q+ question over cocktails at Mar-a-Lago?
Welcome to NFT's.
Maybe Trump see's the same thing I do.
Maybe he see's that Conservatives are always last to adopt technologies and he needs a way to get people interested in "DE-CENTRALIZED" Cryptocurrencies.
The reason Leftists control Big Tech is because Conservatives do not get involved. They just don't.
If you ask the typical Conservative about Crytpo they start talking about Digital Currency and the Beast, and demonstrate ignorance rivaling that of a teenager telling you how the world should work.
Crypto, like all technology, becomes whatever those wielding it use it for, and this is just one more battlefield where we need to be present and pushing our perspectives.
Lesson 1. Centralized VS De-Centralized Crypto. Once you understand the difference, you will begin to have a grasp.
Government wants CENTRALIZED. Currently however we could, if we all worked to gether, build a paralel economy with its own decentralized currency.
Bitcoin, Cardano, and others offer us the abilities and features we require. Getting our side interested however is similar to herding cats.
Bitcoin has run 14 years, perfectly, with no hacking or compromise, and no network failure or major problems. There is no building. no CEO. Its a protocol that lives online and in ways offline. Only fraudulent businesses at the end points is where the crime happens. eg: FTX
The only way to fight back at this point is if we all stop using USD En Masse and immediately adopt Bitcoin and or others.
In reality we will not. The left will take complete control over all future monies, attach the social credit and all the bad things, and the genuine stupid people will say look, i told you crypto was bad, again demonstrating that endless chasm of technological ignorance.
Sad but I hope im wrong and I hope Trump gets you interested since you need to buy or involve with Crypto to do NFT's.
These tools are the ultimate tools of a free market and its past time conservatives pay some damn attention to the underlying technology and what it means for the future of trade and human interaction.
Crypto is not money. Its a TRUST system. That is what Bitcoin does. It allows to party's to reliable and safely exchange value without involving a massive government or institutional entity. You can transact direct with anyone else on the network. 100% safe because it relies on a public ledger.
Not great if your goal is tax dodging or crime, as it can be traced, somewhat, but nobody cannot take it without you giving it to them willingly.
You can lose your wallet, or hardware wallet entirely, and as long as you have your 'Seed Phrase' and sometimes some other info, you can recover it all. So in theory you can memorize 12 words and a password, along with maybe an email account and your set. You can have it in your head.
And that is only the starting point.
In the future things like NFT's will replace paper contracts.
