Biden drops of of presidential race. good news for BTC?

[tainted_love]

Indeed very surprising but I am confused how this would affect bitcoin

Trump suggested he intends to back the USD with bitcoin.  Not sure how that would work, but if it means ending he Federal Reserve it's no wonder _they_ tried to kill him.

It will be interesting to see if the DNC sticks with Harris.  I get the impression she's not liked by the American people.  I don't think the Democrats can beat Trump, not even if they switch Harris out with California's governor, Gavin Newsom.  Unless they cheat again, of course.

Bitcoin is not affiliated with any political party even if Trump keeps on mentioning it and making it the forefront of his campaign this news only give more if not all chances to Trump to win

Trump would have easily won the elections if he contested against Joe Biden. US citizens already know that the president is incapable of running for another four years, so he wouldn't have gotten enough support. With Kamala Harris as the democrat flag bearer, the race will not be easy for Trump

Good news I guess. The other candidate won't change a damn and Trump will win anyway so having a crypto-friendly president in the office will be a good thing for us.

Trump has many policies that should be considered before voting for him, being a crypto-friendly president shouldn't be the only criteria for voting for him. How are we sure that he would even implement laws that will favor the crypto community if he becomes the president? Politicians make very good promises when they want your support, after the election you will know their true color. I wonder how Kamala Harris will be able to win Trump in this election. Her sex and race will be the greatest obstacle to becoming the first female president of the United States.

I think that was to be expected. Biden's ratings in the polls were falling day by day. If he had waited any longer, it would have only gotten worse. Now he gives at least some chance to another candidate.
Im not a fan of Trump, but as a non-American looking at it from afar, this decision by Biden was obvious to me.

Very much expected for a man of his age coupled with battling serious health problem the democrats should have known better right from the onset that Biden can't make a successful re-election as US president for a second time if he's to go head log with Trump under such circumstance. Fornme I love the dimension American politics is taking within these few months to the polls, the democrats making unintended party changes possible without much ado not long after a failed  assassination attempt on the Republican candidate. Let see what smoke the democrat through Kamal Harris fire can have on trump's now that Biden has taken a bow.

This news will decrease the chances of Trump winning since the replacement for Biden is a much stronger candidate.

Did you see the market reaction? BTC is at 68k at the moment. I foresee 70k before months end.

That's only right decision that Biden could make, but I think it was made way too late. It's basically declaring Trump as a winner. Now Democrats will replace Biden with Kamala Harris, and considering how ''popular'' she is, she stnd no chance against Trump. Just looked what bookamkers is offering now - 1.50 for Trump, 3.20 for Harris, I think it says a lot.

[BitcoinBunny]

It's probably good news for Bitcoin since Harris has a much better chance of defeating Trump, and Trump would have been very harmful to the future of Bitcoin (he promises to set criminals like SBF free--and SBF caused Bitcoin to drop by 60%, for instance).

After years of Republicans making this "personal" and going after "Hunter Biden" and making fun of Joe Biden's age, they are now going to need to discuss policy which is a death-knell for Republicans.

Now, with the "Joe Biden" personality out of the way, the US presidential race is down to a simple policy question:

--> Do you want abortion to stay legal, like it has been for the last 60 years? Vote for Harris.

--> Do you want abortion to be illegal nationwide? Vote for Trump.

This is no longer a race over "the old guys".

With religion still extremely popular in the USA, I doubt many people give a shit about abortion.
Maybe 10-15% tops of the electorate.

The vast majority of people are sensible; do forward planning, use pills or condoms (or both).

A bunch of loud mouthed female media pundits hardly represent what everyone wants.
They all hated Trump in 2016 also.

More notable is that no one gave a shit about Kamala Harris even within the Democrat party.

She was merely the diversity. equity and inclusion hire.

She's an utterly incompetent kakling imbecile.

Unless there is fake mail in voting (again) those odds are FAR too favourable for Harris.
Should be 1.1 Trump and 10.0 Harris thereabouts.

Honestly, I never thought possible Jode Biden would have the courage to step forward and give up on the candidacy for the sake of his country. I thought he was going to remain in the race despite of all the criticism he was getting from a sector of the left and within his party. I guess I was wrong.

Depending on who the democrat party and voters decide to be Trump's for in this incoming election, it would be still an easy win for him or actually be likely for him to lose his advantage. Let us wait and see.

Also, after this I am expecting all news coming from Fox about hunter Biden suddenly be gone off their broadcast.

The latter may happen simply due to the fact why should anyone care about a criminal son from a previous president
but seriously, did he look like a stand up guy?

If Trump had a second cousin doing just 10% of that shit,
it would be all over CNN 24/7.

Furthermore to expand on this... Biden was always proud of his son, never acknowledging even one bad thing Hunter did, which is ridiculous considering the circumstances.

Trump was never afraid to get personal and told many people "Don't drink!" and often mentioned his alcoholic brother who died super young.

I think in that light Trump at least probably helped people rather than brush over ridiculous coke snorting criminal behaviour within a family.

Something like 67% of Americans want abortion here to stay legal.

Taking away a fundamental right from a large population is generally a very unpopular thing.

And to stop the millions of woman in the USA from having abortions, Trump will need to create the largest police state ever created in the USA--and police states don't tend to be compatible with things like Bitcoin, FYI....

Trump doesn't have plans to make abortion illegal. He simply remanded the issue back to the States rather than letting the Federal have anything to do with it.

However, abortion is illegal automatically. Why? It's a trust that involves 4 parties: Man, Woman, Child to be, God. Breaking of a sacred trust is illegal just like the breaking of any other contract. It needs to be adjudicated that way for anybody who wants to stop it.

But to get back on topic, Biden is having trouble remembering that he dropped out.


Aides Struggling To Figure Out How To Break The News To Biden That He Dropped Out


https://babylonbee.com/news/aides-figuring-out-how-to-break-the-news-to-biden-that-he-dropped-out
"Oh man, he's not going to like this," said longtime aide Sally Connors. "Maybe we can wait until after four, and then he won't remember?"

According to sources, aides plan to try to sandwich the news between bits of good news in an effort to soften the blow. "We could start off by reminding him that it's National Ice Cream Day," said aide Mike Thomas. "Then, breeze real fast through the 'you have dementia, no one likes you, your career is over, and your party betrayed you', then tell him that the cafeteria is serving shepherd's pie for lunch tomorrow? Eh?"

Well, Biden has certainly acknowledge some of the mistakes and bad behavior his son has been found guilty of. He needed to acknowledge it in order for him to publicly say he would not pardon his own son for the federal charges he is going through because of lying to the federal government to get a handgun. Though, I admit if Trump had a family member which was a fraction as politically problematic Hunter is, it is very likely CNN would take advantage of it and broadcast it on their channel in a similar way Fox does. In the end corporate media uses the same tactics, regardless on the political leaning of them.

Don't ever change, Mr. Decker  .

Thank you for showing everybody the mainstream opinion of US Republicans and the policies and goals of the Republican party.

After years of calling abortion "baby murder" (and they still are), Republicans are now, for the next few months, trying to tell Americans that they aren't really serious about making abortion illegal, even though it's in their written platform and perfectly aligns with their stated goals from the last 50 years, and they have a clear legal pathway to do it now.

Vote for Trump if you, like almost all registered Republicans, want abortion to be illegal in the United States.

Vote for Harris if you want it to stay legal like it has been for the last 60 years.

It's as simple as that.

I read this comment and that of another user online - "Good decision to step aside but he should have done this earlier . Bad choice to select cackling absentee Vp Kamala. Never liked her then, more so now.  Unless another democratic presidential candidate is selected, I am shifting my vote to Trump in November.  I predict many Democrats will do the same." And though I am not a US citizen, it is obvious that this may be the sentiments of the electorates come November.

Now that Biden is out of the US presidential race, can BTC get to 100k please??

100k is still possible with or without Donald Trump. Quite a pity Biden is out of the race. Only time will tell if Trump will really keep to his words concerning bitcoin. You won't blame me for finding it hard to believe that Trump means well for bitcoiners. Trump is a politician! He has been there before and we all saw how everything went, maybe he will disappoint naysayers like me and do better this time around because the expectations are high and there are higher chances that he will get more votes.

His execelly, Biden has demonstrated the spirit of sportsmanship for quiting is re-election ambition considering his age and health status and I really commend him for not being power monger. I think that's what every reason leader that has the progress of the nation at heart should do but thinking of the appreciation of Bitcoin as the result of his dropping his rerun ambition is still not certain but depends on the enconomic policy  

[Sexylizzy2813]

With Biden out of the picture I think the only threat Trump have at the moment has been removed but that doesn't mean things won't get a bit difficult for him during the election and is also a shocking news for him, I mean Biden to drop out of the race. It still doesn't guarantee us that Bitcoin will dash out to a $100k in no time, we shouldn't be too excited about the smooth passage of Bitcoin price at the moment, as of 2-3 weeks back the market price was struggling to gain its ground around $50-$59k and as soon as the Trump issue came up it triggered the rapid move of BTC price so I believe the movement will soon be back to normal, this is just a political affairs that has to do with Bitcoin that is what I feel is happening but a $100k we'll get there not immediately.

[BADecker]

Seems that they can't find Biden. Seems that the signature on his resignation letter is fake. Seems that the whole resignation letter is not official. Where is Biden? Is he dead? Are they faking the whole thing about Biden, now? If so, this is completely against the law and the Constitution.

Is President Biden Alive?


https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/president-biden-alive
Before I even start with my analysis, I want to make the point that I hope President Biden is doing fine and on the path to recovery from Covid, as his doctor claimed in a letter (I'll discuss below) that he was. I hope we can take the administration at their word, but I also think it's helpful to not ignore mounting critical questions for our country.

I don't want to start the morning off with hyperbole or sensationalism, honestly, but rather with what, in my opinon, has developed as a legitimate question over the last 24 to 48 hours: is the current President of the United States still alive and/or fit to lead?

Ever since dropping out of the presidential race on Sunday via a letter with a signature that has been in question and conspicuously lacking the seal of the White House or President of the United States, President Joe Biden has failed to turn up anywhere in person.


...

[Hispo]

It is a funny thing to say, to be honest.
So what if president Biden appears on live television addressing some issue of the nation, in the Senate or the house or representatives? would it be a body double, right? Because there is a pattern I have noticed from conspiracy theorist: they seldom admit they were wrong and instead continue to push their narrative further by putting a completely different conspiracy theory (more utrageous than the first one) so they do not end up being ridiculed by their own followers.
The only one who I have seen to apologize and admit to be wrong was Alex Jones, and only after he got himself cornered in the defamation lawsuit he lost to the parents of the victims of Sandy Hook. That is the only way someone like him would admit to be wrong, by punishing him financially.

That's actually not how US politics work. See, there's another Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, who is polling better against Trump and Biden was--and Biden was in a dead heat with Trump before he dropped out. Trump is more likely to lose now.

Bitcoin went up 500% under president Biden.

You don't need Trump or anybody else to make Bitcoin go up.
