That's a wise campaign tactic, hope it works well.

Er, you want Hillary to win? Or the part about "state backing for innovative technologies including the distributed ledger"?

If god existed, he/she/it would have the god damn duty to save us from Hillary and her whole family clan. With Hillary you can expect a whole new level of the same old statist lobbyist antidemocratic and freedom destroying politics of the last decades.

She doesn't support Bitcoin. She supports state-controlled bank owned private blockchains that have nothing to do with a free decentralized currency. Probably she doesn't even know what she is talking about, besides that her advisers told her that this topic is currently in vogue. Just another demonstration of fake competence by representatives of the officialdom.

Bitcoin don't needs backing. Especially not from a state that has accumulated more debt than can ever be repaid.

ya.ya.yo!

There's no better way of putting it. +1

+1

Their wars on drugs, poverty, and terror are doing sooooo great  ::)

Get the fuck out of our way. Laissez-faire Bitcoin is what we want.

EXACTLY! Great words, not much can can be added here. She is talking about Bitcoin and she has no idea how to send their emails?
Hilary's statement is so false that anyone with a brain will understand that she doesn't know what she is talking about, like a Muppet she learned her speech and now repeats it.

Any DEEP conversation with her will reveal that she has no idea about bitcoin, blockchain tech and cryptocurrencies in general. God save us from her.

We need more of this kind of attitude IMO. Too many Bitcoiners are too passive in the face of those who want to control the Blockchain narrative.

Pure, unmoderated aggression won't work of course, but the moral arguments involve impassioned positions, and the arguments must reflect that. Moral arguments don't work on those with pathological personality disorders (such as the anti-Bitcoin trolls exhibit), but they do work on the vast majority of people who aren't socio/psychopaths.

Eventually, Bitcoin will become big enough to reach people without the technical knowledge or reasoning ability to understand how to make sense of the argument (and I fear it may happen earlier than some might imagine). Those people will be targeted by the anti-Bitcoin lobby in an attempt to subvert Bitcoin's governance, as we've been experiencing for 2 years since Gavin Andresen's original blocksize propaganda campaign. And that effort already tried to target the mainstream, by using mainstream corporate media as a platform to push the propaganda.

People that can't make sense of the computer science conflicts Bitcoin is assailed with are perhaps the only potential weak point. We must be careful to make sure the shills don't get any traction or positive recognition, and Hillary supporters are what I consider to be a quintessential example of that kind of nightmare demographic.

gogo Hillary!

I am sure if you drop a few million dollars worth of bitcoins into her electoral campaign, she will love Bitcoin even more.  ::) Not that these people need any more money, because they are already

being funded by the Oil and banking fiat industries.  ??? We love to hate them, but in the end.... they have the leverage on us, with the banks and the laws when they get elected. I am not saying we

should suck up to them, but we should rather work with them, than against them.. or we will get nowhere.  :(

Clinton had big problems in the press recently when it turned out that some of the HSBC donations she accepted originated from...... middle-eastern terrorists dealing drugs. The quote from Hillary went something like: "I can't be expected to know where all this money comes from"

She does not support decentralized crypto-currencies. Also, all this woman does is lie.
