I don't think that there is any president, dictator, prime minister, or leader of any sort from any country that could do anything that bitcoin would not be able to survive.

Sure the internet was invented by the US Al gore saw to that with his stint in the CIA/FBI and if anybody finds out who is the creator probably would be traced back to good u s of a too.

I agree with you. Despite the thousands of posts I have seen warning of a "takeover" of BTC, not a single one of them includes a plausible method of doing it. Until I see that I have no real concern.

I think there is very little chance that Trump will win these elections. But if he does, it would just be very unlikely that he would ban the usage of Bitcoin.
He'd be focussing on much more popular issues, most likely..

Trump is riding a xenophobic wave.  Isolationism has support.

Bitcoin is an international currency (if I may use that term).

Banks value the fiat at their core.  Casinos, like insurance companies, are fiscal conservatives, essentially banks.  True one can gamble in any currency but banks have fiat at their core.

If Trump were to be elected, or any Conservative for that matter, how would it effect US Bitcoin?

I doubt that Trump will pay attention to bitcoin, there are more important matters than fighting cryptocurrencies. And from what I could see Trump is rather pro bitcoin than against it.
Trump is not even a president and we see grim signs of rejection, services which accepted bitcoin before now discontinued bitcoin support. I can't be worse.

Trump is like Bush ... a puppet.
it will change nothing.

Trump is a puppet? How so? As far as I can see he is owned by no one. He can't be bought.

To be honest, Donald Trump should never in a million years become the president of the United States of America.

Why not? Sure he's rude and obnoxious, but tell me why that makes a bad leader? He's very successful business man obviously. Couldn't it translate to being a great leader? He'll be too busy making America great to have time to deport mexicans.  Tongue

America needs a president with common sense and someone who cannot be bribed or bought... Yes, Donald Trump have some issues with some groups of people and there are

reasons for that. The National debt in the USA is out of control and you need someone who will take the Bull by the horns and not pull punches or be afraid to step on people's

toes. If Donald Trump become president, he will have the balls to turn around this situation and use every tool in his arsenal to combat economic collapse, including controversial

technologies like Bitcoin.  Wink

I don't see why it could be bad for Bitcoin for any reason. Since Bitcoin isn't regulated there, he can do nothing bad for Bitcoin except tax it. However, if he do so, this mean that the U.S. officially recognise Bitcoin as an official currency, and this would be far better than all the threats that taxation can bring, at least 25% of the U.S. citizen would be aware of Bitcoin's existence.

Under a Democratic president, the Presidency kowtowed to banks and Wall Street less than if a Republican were in office.

And the press coverage of the Dark Web, and I feel that should be busted, is bad for Bitcoin.  No matter that more crime is paid for with dollars than with Bitcoin.  A Republican presidency might be more responsive to outcries that the Dark Web depends on Bitcoin whether the Dark Web can turn to some other cryptocurrency or not.

He has other priorities for his government and I don't see him opposing Bitcoin.

Not that someone ever asked him, though

Shall we differentiate between the internet and the world wide web?  The earliest days of the internet had been university sharing of US Department of Defense non-secret data I believe.  Then there were connected servers allowing access but no privacy - one could log in and go up a few directories and into others' directories and read everything that wasn't nailed down tight unix permissions.  The idea of privacy really wasn't respected at the server level until about the time of commercialization.  Am I right or wrong?

Isn't there an identifier for everything connected to the internet and at the top is dod?  I recall looking into security on my local network and learned there's an identifier for displays, printers, of course NIC (and I don't mean the MAC address), and all of these are in a tree with dod at the top?

I suppose it would be possible for it just not to be brought up during the campaign especially if there were plans to attack once a Republican is in office.  Chips would be called in and he'd hear You owe us.

Can you imagine if the Dark Web were brought up during a Democratic/Republican debate?  There'd be a pissing contest as to who'd attack it the most effectively.  Bitcoin will be hurt.

I don't think that there is any president, dictator, prime minister, or leader of any sort from any country that could do anything that bitcoin would not be able to survive.

So do I. But i am wondering.
Can the US survive a Trump presidency.
I think not, he would kill most business by making weird legislation, like banning trade with anybody who is called Hassan.
