Sure, he will take the capital gains tax you owe on the Bitcoin you have made, then take some more for the less fortunate ones who didn't know about Bitcoin until 2016 and beyond....


Everyone is equal right?

It's not fair that you keep the majority of the profits if Bitcoin moons right? I mean this guy flips burglars but deserves the same compinsation as you do even though you spotted a trend and acted on it. Wink


No he has no interest in Bitcoin besides the redistribution of your wealth from it.

I like bernie but im afraid hes pretty old and couldnt go with him until I know who his
running mate is.

I do like his views on most issues though and if he is pro bitcoin that would be another plus.

Why is his age important anyway?

Dementia sets in eventually but most likely a better option than say a ex prisoner of war.
I personally feel we need younger politicians, old equals more inflexability in views.

Yes can be but also with age comes experience  Kiss

Yeah that what murrica needs, a diaper wearing senile geriatric socialist Jew from New York. He probably thinks bitcoins are the pieces you get when you chop up a penny. lol

Fuck it, I'd rather have some senile Jew from New York run the country than some orange oompa loompa who will blow up the whole damned planet if he has too, to get his way...

and I classify myself as a F'in Republican too... Well, I believe in the economic (and maybe immigration) values of the Republican ideology anyway.

There have been a number of US politicians who have spoken favorably of Bitcoin, both Democrat and Republican. The most outspoken in it's favor seems to be Ron Paul. Rand Paul likes it too but he recently dropped out of the race, but he's still in the Senate.

What's more, Rand was in fact accepting bitcoins for his presidential campaign. Not quite directly but through BitPay, but that still counts.


Yeah, Ron/Rand are always my go to guys when it comes to identifying a perfect ideologic mindset.  I know Rand is not as brilliant as his father, but the thing is is that he is still keeping the libertarian movement alive.

I have come to accept that the world we live in (at least for as long as I live) will always be under control of the democratic/republican mindset... I would honestly love to live in a "Utopian" world where we use science to govern economics and political decisions amongst everyone on the planet.

As of right now, yes, Bernie is the more likely president to maybe use bitcoin to outsource the banks... but it'll be a tough sale.  Plus, I'm pretty sure if Bernie does try to pull something like this off, he will get assassinated by the powers that be, and covered up as some "gun toting looney" too cause even more divide amongst the public and achieve what the powers that be want; control of the power that they've already acquired.  This is just like what happened to JFK.

Ron Paul is an 80-year-old libertarian/conservative who loves Bitcoin. So, I don't think age is a huge factor in one's ability to understand and appreciate BTC.

It's the anti-govt politicians who are most willing to embrace Bitcoin. The rest are too obsessed with control, both left and right, but I think mostly left. On many college campuses, freedom of speech is dying because someone might get their feelings hurt. In NYC, you can't buy a 20-oz soda. All left-leaning places. Talk about micro-managing people, sheesh.

No disrespect for the elderly, but Bernie Sanders is simply too old to get it, he will never understand the idea of a decentralized, non-government issued currency like Bitcoin. If investors like Warren Buffer are too old to get it, I doubt a politician will.

Actually many 70 year olds understand crypto currency much better than many 40 year olds. They come from a generation that used cash and bearer instruments. Crypto currencies are bearer instruments. Many seniors are also paranoid about identity theft, and do not trust current on-line payment methods. In many cases seniors are not invested in the current mainstream technologies, so unlike their kids generation are very open to what their grand kids generation presents.

Edit: Introducing crypto currency to a senior is actually very simple. Just explain to them it works like cash that you can use on the Internet with no risk of identity theft. You will get their attention in no time.

He is unconventional so it's possible that he is open to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Actually no politician ever will, you said it all. How can a government let Bitcoin take over, it will be chaos. The only way is to integrate and regulate it little by little. It can be regulated and still be decentralized, many bitcoiners think one thing nulls the other.

If Bernie becomes president... money will flow out of the USA like crazy.

Offshore, Bitcoin and other such things.

Nah, he can't do shit on it's own (without congress' support), so he'll just play the good old "I tried my best to fulfil my promises, but they didn't let me..." card.

There's this thing called executive orders that have been abused and will continue to be in the future. Bernie needs money to pay for his promises.

Exactly. If you think Obama has had a heavy hand with Executive Orders (and he has), Bernie would dwarf that.

I feel the same

Hopefully it won't come to that, but if it does, the govt can't confiscate money they don't know exists. If this guy gets elected, Monero will go through the roof. It's the only major coin that's completely fungible, untraceable, private, and secure. I like Bitcoin and Monero, but hopefully it won't take something like this to cause a rise in their use and value.

Nothing against this man, but I doubt he will ever get what Bitcoin is and how it works.Although he will have some good consultants who can try to explain it to him.
But lets not forget he is a politician.And these guys always want to have control about everyting.
Or does anyone here knows how open this man is in terms of new technologies?

I'm sure he could pull that off:
"Let's make BTC-friendly legislations. Then we'll tax all the holders at 50% and give the money to the poor".

Everyone would definitely go for that Grin

He's pretty much too old to get anything, I think. Fresh faces on the government would be much better.

I think I may flow out of the U.S as well, regardless which one of the current idiots gets elected. It is the first election year I have felt like this. I am not a fan of any of them  Undecided
