“The current regime, clearly, they have it out for Bitcoin,” DeSantis said. “And if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up killing it.”
He is exaggerating greatly. Sadly I expect one of the things his campaign will show is how few people actually care about bitcoin. And it will not be a correct measure for that either since, as I noticed he is exaggerating, other bitcoiners may see that too and might not care about a pretty much lost cause (i.e. DeSantis).
But I was proven wrong in my predictions in other US presidential campaigns too, so take my words with a pinch of salt, just for case the reality will prove me wrong and will make me an interestingly nice surprise.

I think it would be more accurate to say “And if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up
ATTEMPTING TO killing it.” I think bitcoin is passed the tipping point and while it might be more difficult if they tried to kill it, it wouldn't succeed.
He is right about the desires of many the current politicians around the world to try to kill bitcoin because it interferes with their inflation loving agenda of Keynesian policy which allow them to steal from people's savings without the people being aware of it much of the time. Until inflation hits and then they attempt to blame everything except their own policies for the issues. Likewise, he is right about the wishes of authoritarians around the world to stop bitcoin because it robs them of victims by allowing people to protect themselves from insane policies.
DeSantis has a financial war chest twice the size of Trump per an article I saw last month so I wouldn't count him out. (
