I did not completely understand the lawsuit against Binance, to be honest. ws it because they allowed Russian assets to be move around the world through Binance or was it because it was proven some extremist groups in the middle east were able to move money thanks to Binance, going through the alledged security filters which were supposed to be in place?

Regardless the case, I agree Binance is not supposed not be given an special treatment when compared to other banking institutions which would be immediately fined if they violated the terms and rule set by the federal government of the USA.

I would bet those rules and restrictions would not change too much regardless the winner is Trump or Kamala Harris.

Aside from the "possible" 30% tax on proof of work, which would be on their claim helping the off-set the energy they are consuming as a subsidy to energy companies, what else have they done?

In fact, they jailed so many crypto scammers in the last four years, more than any other president has ever done before. So, this "claim" that you have is only based on just a concept of a new law, that is not even passed yet, may pass if given democrats the chance but still hasn't even passed, and there has never been anything else they have done wrong to them. If you really insist and want to make sure that you have all the facts rights, just list us what they have done wrong to ruin crypto, I am waiting for the list, or it's just republican propaganda nothing more.

The exchange lawsuit was about Binance allowing Russians to move money in and out of USA, which was banned at the time, you want Binance to have rights to do stuff nobody else can do? No bank can do it, no company can do it, but binance should be able to do it? Why give them the right? Why should Binance be able to when nobody else can? They didn't even punish them right away, they warned them, Binance didn't care and still kept going. It's such a simple lie that it's so easily proven to be wrong.

Do you think that your news feed / social media feed and circle of real life people you see is a good enough sample size? I find that weird. Are you hanging lot around with democrats that voted for biden? Or why do you believe that persons in your life would vote anything other than same as you? I don't personally hang around with anyone who supports trump or right wing, but i wouldn't draw any conclusions like that they wouldn't exist from that.

News feed algorithms are build in a way that they will amplify our confirmation bias. If your close circle of friends has any Harris voters in it, they might have even restricted you, because if you use your time to mock them or use inflammatory language, ask yourself: who needs that on their social media? People are learning that they have right to choose who follows them and whom they share their stories with and banning is getting quite common, just like you wouldn't like people who annoy you in same bar table either.

Imho not knowing peple who are voting for opposition is not in any way good way to predict the outcome,

I get that it is Trump against not Trump. I just have a hard time understanding why that is for so many seemingly normal people. Sure, if you are mentally ill and want to wear the opposite sex’s clothes while living off the government then Democrats might be the party for you. But why are so many seemingly non-retards still willing to vote against Trump when he literally gave us world peace and prosperity?

What you are missing (which all of republicans missed in 2020 as well) that this election is not Trump vs Kamala, never was, never will be, it has always been Trump vs Not-Trump, and same was true for 2020 as well because nobody voted for Biden because they loved Biden, and neither will they for Kamala as well.

Trump is such a figure that people do really hate him, or love him meaning that people who vote for him love him, and people who vote for his opponent hate him without a doubt. So that means, it is not about Kamala at all, nobody has to like her, it could be Kamala, it could be you, it could be me, it could be a trash can, doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not Trump.

This is how Democrats won 2020, someone who hasn't been dragged through the mud, which Hillary was and that's why they lost in 2016, so they realized maybe it's time to just bring in a new player, and that's what they did and everyone joined the bandwagon of hating Trump and voting for his opponent, it's that simple.

She got more money for the campaign. They will pull money out of thin air for her. When Joe is removed from the race she immediately inherits the funds too. So she has the money, she however is just not the most liked politician in the county. Just a little over a month before the Dem picked her, the Dem supposedly will kick her out. They were going to pick someone else because they knew she isn't the president kind. Nobody in the democratic people voted for her but look where she is now,, it looks like she is the ONE.

I listened to Tulsi Gabbard's podcast recently, she is just nailing it. And I can agree with what she is saying and idk there is a presumption that it will be chaos if Harris wins.

Kamala Harris is just trying different tactics to win votes from different demographics. Cryptocurrency users represents a numerically insignificant voting bloc, but they are important financially. And unlike the case with 2020 elections, this time Democrats are running pretty low on funds. On the other hand, the Republicans are in good financial health. Now Kamala is desperate for cash, and that is one of the reasons why she is softening her stance on crypto. But once she gets elected, she will show her real face once again. 

I've been searching polls, and their ratings are quite close. Maybe this could be one of the closest Presidential Elections in the U.S. Anyway, both parties seem to have become positive about crypto. I doubt they will continue that stance after the election. They are obviously using it because they know it can significantly impact their campaign, considering the number of voters involved in crypto. Anyway, I'll put my bet on Trump this time, just gambling.

Four years with Joe Biden - Kamala Harris with unfriendly policies and regulations on cryptocurrency market are enough to understand their approach on this industry. It is unrealistic to think that the USA. under Kamala Harris administration (if she gets elected in November) will change immediately and completely after she becomes a President.

Kamala also tries to copy promised policies from Donald Trump and it shows she is not able to think and launch his own good policies to attract citizens and votes.

Agreed! Kamala and her team only do this to collect more funding from the communities in the cryptospace, however, they also do this to gather more votes for them and also gather the votes from these people who would have voted for Donald Trump.

If a Democrat will win, we can be quite certain it will be uncle Gary, grandma Warren and white hair Yellen cracking down on the cryptospace and create a CBDC world in America.

It doesn't really matter if some low ranking Democrat actually supports cryptocurrency. Democrat establishment remains vehemently opposed to the very idea of cryptocurrency. It goes against their very idea of deep state control on citizens. Now what happens is that at least some of the cryptocurrency users get fooled by all these theatrics, and end up donating to the Dems. And they use these funds to go after the cryptocurrency users. Only people like Sam Bankman-Fried are going to benefit from any potential Kamala presidency.
 

Unfortunately I think you are right when talking about trump being so close to death.  But talk about recency biased.  This was a man making a speech.  John McCain while serving his country was a POW for over 5 years, with a lot of that time in solitary confinement.  He didn't end up winning but somehow the American people think this is different.  I'm not saying right wrong or indifferent but those 2 events don't remotely come close together so why would trump get in just because of that?

Not all Democrats hate bitcoin or cryptocurrency and the Crypto4Harris campaign was created by those members, and what's more interesting, appears to have no involvement from Harris. Harris is the candidate but the campaign didn't get her endorsement, which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. The most important person refuses to participate in campaign, so I wonder how voting for her will benefit us.

Also, through this, we realized that the democratic party was just taking advantage of us, they didn't really want to change their anti-bitcoin stance. If they really changed and cared about crypto they should have done it a long time ago like the Republican Party did and needed Harris's participation.

It's just that Trump has been through more extreme things than Kamala, Kamala is just a replacement option for Biden, and Biden was doing badly, he was losing against Trump, I understand all the analysis that can be done within the leadership of the Democrats and the Republicans, but what is visible does not need glasses, there is reality, and as you say, Trump's experience having been so close to death is something that makes Americans believe that he is a committed guy and that he only cares about his nation, plus the majority are disappointed with Biden and his management, that does not help at all.

"Birds of a feather flock together"
I am amazed you don't realize what a big country yours is and how many people have different ideas about how everything would need to be run, and at the same time you don't realize that voting for one doesn't necessarily mean support but also a vote so that the other guy doesn't get elected, it happened in France recently for example.

Besides I find it highly ironic that now you doubt bookies, one month ago you were saying that bookies are way better indicators than media or polls:


You know what this is, right? It's called denial!

Anyhow speaking about gambling since that's what this thread is about, why not take advantage of it:
1.8 Kamala Harris
2.0 Donald Trump
Easy money, right?


Yeah cause it's so simple, let's review a bit of Trump ME politics
- retreat from Afghanistan and Irak, good
- moving the embassy to Jerusalem, not so good
- sending 100 tomahawks on Syria because he got pissed, not that good
- ordering the killing of Iran highest general, not good at all
- Executive Order 13769 , banning of muslims to enter the US....do I have to even grade this?

LOL.. the second part of your post is definitely laughable. Democrats supporting Bitcoin? During the last 4 years, they have done whatever possible in their capacity to destroy the cryptocurrency sector. More and more regulations on important sectors, lawsuits against major exchanges to name a few. And suddenly when the elections are only a couple of months away they are showing unlimited love for the cryptocurrency. Their intention is very clear. They just need cryptocurrency for their funding and nothing else.

AFAIK, EU doesn't like his moves towards Israel but the world is watching now the war with Ukraine and Russia. While the Biden administration is on the funding in support to the war. Trump is saying that he would fix that and have the peace in the region. It's only a matter of time on what kind of actions he'd do and will balance the stance of these nations from these wars. We need to see it stopped soon. I thought that there's a lielow on that region when there were no longer news that I am hearing and reading but then, a few days ago there goes the news again about the war. Or else, there's just pretty much news blackout all over the region to make the world think that they're already in truce. Thanks to internet, news can be verified and speculations too.

I very much agree. Unions have always supported politicians that are more pointed to the left than the right hehehe. However, the Teamsters union's president have spoken in the Republican convention expressing his support for the Donald Trump which was very shocking for many political analyst. Does this imply that they think Trump is for the people and they think the Democrats are for the rich?

Also, the people in social media have begun to speculate that there will be a Crypto4Harris campaign. The speculation is that Robert Kennedy will be part of Kamala's cabinet to help in bitcoin policies and from this he will express his support for Kamala. This might help gather bitcoin supporters for her.

The Trump campaign appears to be at a crossroards.

Trump seems to be walking back on some hardline stances he had and it shows. From his recent press conference he made it clear that his administration wasn't so much about abortion and they wouldn't pay a lot of attention to it policy wise, other than maybe letting states decide. Then he also went on to say that rape and health should be a valid cause for abortion.

Of course the media didn't play this bit but it's quite important. It shows that Trump and his campaign people are capable of picking up what topics are having people interested into them these days. So Trump isn't completely tone deaf and has started talking more about popular topics.

On his campaign trail now he has stopped using the slogan "Finish the Job" in relation to Israel's genocide against Palestinians and instead just says that October 7th should have never happened. Of course we all understand this is a contradiction from his policy suggestion to stop supplying arms and military aid abroad but it shows that the language has changed and Trump is now feeling the heat and working harder to win votes.

Hopefully they realize that the real pressing issues these days are the reduction of the working class' purchasing power as well as anti-war messages. With the Biden administration enacting head-on neoliberal policies all day that make the poor poorer and the rich richer, as well as continuing funding wars in Israel and Ukraine in full, Trump's campaign has an easy attack angle.

If Trump realizes that it's a contradiction to say the war in Ukraine must be solved diplomatically while supporting Israel in a genocide is a contradiction, he'll have much better chances at winning. Surely he would be attacked by many powers that be, but it would also play up as his underdog image more like in 2016.

I listened to it as well, and he was talking about some "secret DNC shadowy figures that took over the election" type of nonsense, which is what the media is talking about. The idea is that Trump insists that kamala "stole" the nomination from Biden, with the backing of some "shadowy dnc figures", like Obama and Nancy pelosi, he honestly believes that Biden still wants to be a nominee, but it was taken from him by force. He did talk about that, and this is a conspiracy theory, because there isn't any proof to it so him saying this becomes a conspiracy if he doesn't provide any proof at all.

We can't make it change at all, we need to realize that we are going to end up with some issues if he is not careful with any of this, if he keeps talking about this wild claims, then voters will think that he is just an old man saying nonsense and he will lose votes. If he wants to win, he needs to focus on the border control, which democrats suck at right now.
