She ask US people to turn the page while in the last 3 and a half years, Biden and she have been in administration. She doesn't know how stupid that sentence means "Turning the page from Democratic Party to Republic Party" is probably what she didn't want to imply, but reality is like that. People are disappointed with the current party and administration so turning the page to the opposite party is their favorite choice now.

Let's see how she will end her President Election campaign.

After 20 years with Kamala's vision, San Francisco and California were destroyed.

Congress and the Senate propose and create bills that might become laws. They are the legislative department. The movements actions of the president, the vice president, his cabinet and his cabinet's people do not depend on the legislative department. The executive department can issue executive orders.

Also, what should Kamala do? Should she promise that she will do a better job than the present administration? But this is also her administration hehehehehehee.



In any case, if Trump cannot maintain the pump on his ratings until November, I am afraid Kamala has some time to pump her own ratings.

The criticism for appointing Gensler is fair. But firing the head of an independent agency because you want a specific lawsuit or prosecution or investigation to stop would be unethical.  Only Trump and Nixon have have done something like that in modern history.



Which means ...

One just needs to take a look at his previous administration to know what it is likely to happen in the case he manages to get into the white house again, though. If there is one promise he has managed to keep is tax cuts for the rich, so if I had to guess I would say all he will do is cutting taxes on realized gains for people who invest in Bitcoin and other crypto-assets, besides that he won't do anything to power decentralization or adoption of Bitcoin. Economically speaking, Trump is a dinosaur, he promotes gold and silver coins and he has only started to talk about Bitcoin in this election cycle and because he started to sell NTFs, otherwise he would have never touched the topic.
Also, I have read some rumors the Harris campaign would be willing to distance itself from the Biden policy on Bitcoin and PoW mining, in order to secure part of the votes coming from Bitcoin holders like us. Only time will tell.

I think the crypto sphere is really the last thing they think about and will care about. Unless Trump is just the first to talk about it and get the support of the crypto community. I think if Kamala had done it first, the crypto community would be mostly in favour of her. Kamala is only giving indirect signs that nothing bad is going to happen, but I don't see anything positive either

For now, yes, because there are several things he promised to the crypto world, especially in America, if he is elected president. But don't be too happy about it, because he is an opportunist and a politician, meaning what he says today may be the opposite of what he does in the future, so don't expect too much from him and let's just see if he can realize his promise or not.

Lol, like presidents would pretend being experts on that field and canceling someone's job because they feel, that they shouldn't go after Ripple? Oversight not a job of a president, it's a job of a congress. If congress sees that they aren't doing their job, president can fire point new head for SEC.

And let's not pretend like legality ripple's practices wouldn't be better to be solved by professionals in court? You really think that president should be expert on technical legalities of securities and overseeing every case because they sure have time and expertise for that. That's rich, because even no one in here seem to know securities laws even superficially.

And like i already pointed out in here or somewhere -> like some other head of SEC wouldn't do their job? And that's Gensler is doing; his literal job description.

Also SEC went after crypto companies way before Biden's era.

Kamala Harris is the sitting vice president in the current administration. They appointed Gensler and could have appointed someone else if they wanted the prosecution of Ripple to stop.

And yet, they didn't do anything. They just let the lawsuit and the prosecution go on. So now they have to problem aiding their campaign from the same organization their administration was trying to wipe out.
Had this lawsuit gone a little differently, XRP would have been a thing of the past, its price completely wiped out. I hope the irony is not lost here. 

You seem confused. What does Kamala had to do with ripple lawsuit? SEC is an independent agency, that doesn't do what president or vice president says they should. SEC is accountable to the congress, so if you think that SEC is doing something wrong, maybe you should write your congressmen about that. But just know that the oversight and hearings of SEC is all publicly available, with transcripts and everything.

Also not everything is about profits, but about values and freedom, which Kamala is offering.

Is this true?

Ripple's co founder donated 1 million USD worth of XRP to a pro Kamala PAC...

It's so unhinged we live in a world that his can happen under. The Biden-Harris administration has hunted Ripple down relentlessly, and yet there's a PAC ready to accept a donation in this currency to support Kamala's presidential bid. Like whaaat?

Chris Larsen must be very desperate and this PAC is surely very hypocritical. The filling reporting this is from August so most definitely they have not rejected this donation, to the contrary they must have used it b now already.

So much for Kamala's campaign donations being grass roots when her PAC running the most ads right now fails to reject such hypocritical donations.

Anyone following Polymarket? As of now, Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris, by a margin of 54.8% to 44.8% (two weeks back, Kamala was leading). I believe betting markets give a more accurate picture of the POTUS elections compared to the opinion polls. Because opinion polls can be misleading as there are considerable number of people who are afraid to state their political intentions openly. Not only Trump is leading nationwide in Polymarket, he is also leading in the most important swing states, such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan. 

It would be unfair to compare what happened in 2016 with what is happening now, 8 years have passed and things have changed a lot. Have you ever wondered why microstrategy or blackrock and many other institutions did not invest in bitcoin in the early years? Why did they only recently realize the potential of bitcoin and admit that they made a mistake in not investing in it sooner? Why has the ETF been proposed for years but the US government never showed any interest and only approved it this year? Not to mention, many of us used to consider bitcoin a scam but that view has changed over time. Why doesn't anyone say that those guys are liars too? You can change your mind, so what right do you have to stop others from changing their minds and becoming better?

Like many other Democratic candidates, they know that Biden and Harris do not support bitcoin, but why do they still expect Harris to change her stance on bitcoin someday in the future. Why can't trump?

Have you heard of the crypto4Harris organization? Harris has never expressed support for crypto, so why did the Democratic Party create this organization to attract crypto voters to vote for Harris? Because they are afraid of losing crypto voters to Trump and they are creating an organization without Harris, why is no one criticizing this?

Looks like we are in the endgame of this chaotic election people. Musk is going all out endorsing Trump while Obama started rallying for Harris. True odds will probably stay 50:50 till the last minute thanks to both leading by small margins in various swing states.

Betting on this particular election is very risky and it's best to invest only what you are willing to lose.

It's hard to know what are real polls if criteria are good methodology for sampling and non-bias process. Because we can not know full details of their methodologies, we or at least me, don't trust their polls and results they share on media.

These things are referencing information with very low reliability especially in era of very biased and manipulated media.

Gamblers were not favorite on Trump like 2 weeks ago, but what changed to make their favorite turning to him recent days especially this week?

Kamala seems to sink in if figures from Polymarket reflects accurately what's going on in this election.

Trump has been elected before and for sure even non US people here have seen his stance on crypto, which is none. And if I'm not mistaken, he even put someone in the SEC that really started this witch hunt on crypto related projects.

So it's really hard to just believed on Trump's promise that he will be a pro-Bitcoin wherein before he didn't do anything about it. What changes? It's because Bitcoin is getting better and he is just taking advantage of it because they believed that there are a lot of Bitcoin enthusiast in the US and he wants to get the majority of votes from them.

That is something yet fail to fully understand from the democrat party. They could have gone through some legitimate primaries and chosen some credible candidate which would have ended up being a man, probably white, but they decided to go for Kamala Harris and scare off some of their most moderate voting base, which is not ready to accept having a black woman as their maximum representative within the government yet.
The core of the democrat party must be deluded enough to believe this is time for the United States to take chances and make Trump to face a black woman instead of the typical establishment white young man, who could have easily defeated Trump, instead they take risks with Kamala.

Trump has almost a fifty percent chance of winning and that is crazy, considering he would be the first convicted felon to become president of the United States. He would be the winner for the Republican party, a party which is pretty much pro-gun and he by law cannot have a gun, as he is a felon in the state of New York...

That’s pretty much a balanced scale for a bet on who wins the presidential elections in the Americas between Kamala and Trump. With Kamala, there seems to be a fighting chance However chance, more than there could have been in Biden which would have result in a landslide victory for Trump
However, I am pro Trump and I think his a more better person in position for a win.

I know the sentimental thing of a female president to rule the rest of the world would kick in and there would be a faction that wouldn’t want to see her on the seat because she’s a female but, I really hope citizens set all that aside and vote the most credible according to their evaluations. Let credibility win!

I think more gamblers would lean on trump, but I don't think that's indicative of who will win amd what the real polls would show as the leader.  Odds start at a certain point and gets moved where money goes.  It's like betting on the yankees, cowboys or the Lakers in sports.  More people bet on those teams so there is a lot of value betting the other side because it's too far from where it should be. I'd give a 50/50 shot right now so Kamala getting value.

The odds and polls can never be same, odds are made by companies, odds are given based on what people put their money on.

However, I can clearly say Kamala is losing big big points based on this Hurricane Milton situation. While I know she is not the president and while I know what is happening and the help ends up being based on what congress and senate passes and not based on even just the president so she could have been president and all she would have rights to do would be send federal help whatever they have as emergency, that's it nothing more.

Anything further has to pass down the house and senate, and neither side agreed on a help so it is not entirely her fault. But I also never saw her make any speech about trying to help and republicans stopping her, which means maybe she wasn't. All in all, Milton could be the battle Kamala loses this election on, happened right on the cusp of elections and too many people are doing terrible and people have a dislike of her because of no proper help.

I don't get what either of you are talking about. First responsibility of SEC is to protect investors.

Now how would that change in case of new head of SEC? They still continue to be accountable to congress, so they don't just quit doing their job and ignore the process for securities, or are being defined, or registered. Or are you guys telling me that new head of SEC would just risk jail because of pumping crypto?

And Iranus, seriously, scenario where trump keeps his promise? And what evidence are you talking about? Evidence doesn't work like that. Evidence is for studying past events. So how about track record of broken promises / lies of each candinate? Trump lies so much that internet can't even keep up with that.
