Winklevoss "Gemini" twins donate $2m to support Trump

[legiteum]

I am not into politics at all, but I am pretty sure the Winklevoss twins know that Trump will most likely win and they want to make sure Trump keeps a positive stance on Crypto unlike Biden is currently doing. Hence they are donating all this money so crypto can be regulated and not restricted under Bidens administration.

I suspect a lot of folks like the Winklevosses are simply hedging their bets. If Trump wins, they are buying themselves a special place in the administration, allowing them to potentially curry special favors that could be worth billions--thousands of times more than their initial investment.

If Trump doesn't win, they will just keep doing what they have already been doing under Biden, which has probably made them a lot of money as well.

Since Biden is not corrupt--and Trump is--it makes much more sense to invest in Trump right now.

Democrats or Biden per se? Of course, Biden is not corrupt (even though it's been alleged that his son used his influence for personal gain). The man recently admitted that he can't walk, talk or debate. He's like with one foot in the grave.

But when it comes to the Democratic Party? There are plenty of allegations of unethical behavior. When you vote for Biden, you're essentially voting for the Democratic Party. It's frustrating how they've framed it as if you're voting for the man exclusively.

Biden has definitely declared a war on crypto, and whilst Trump has been against it in the past, there is nothing wrong with him changing his mindset to support it. Yes it's a lot of talk right now, but it will be really interesting to see what he does when he gets into office. Let's not forget that Michael Saylor in 2013 said that Bitcoin will go to zero, now he holds billions in BTC. The same applies here, let's be open to Trump changing his mind on Bitcoin.

Doesn't really feel all that shocking to be fair. These are kids who were raised by the biggest highest elite network of people, they were born to a rich family, they were raised among other rich people, they had millions even before they did anything else, they made billions off some questionable situation as we all know, and they then made even more from bitcoin itself.

When you combine all of this together, a Trump presidential period where he gives tax brakes to rich people and lets crypto world run free, sounds like the ideal situation for Winklevii. It is true that we are not going to end up with trump being good for 400+ million people there, but for high class elite level few generations wealthy people will benefit from it without a doubt.

Bitcoin went up 500% under president Biden.

Biden has not "declared war on crypto" or anything even remotely like it.

Biden has declared war on criminals who screw up the market in the way FTX did to the price of Bitcoin.

If you want a new FTX to happen about once a month, vote for Trump, because Trump will pardon anybody who gives him enough money. And financial criminals running wild in the Bitcoin market will send average retail investors heading for the hills, which will absolutely destroy the price of Bitcoin.

That lobism thing in the USA was always strange for me. Rich guys buying what they need from gov

I highly doubt that the number of people who actively own crypto are that big, also I highly doubt that people who make crypto their part of personality would be that big, plus I also doubt that people would switch their votes just based on crypto related thing by that much number. So what we have right now, is people who would normally vote for Biden, but because Trump made some pro-crypto remarks, changed their votes to Trump, and that would be how many?

A few thousands at most? Don't get me wrong on a close election it does really help, but Trump will lose popular vote anyway, so he needs to focus on just very tiny few places to get those places to switch, and crypto is not the way to do that, he needs to be there on land, shaking hands.
