Deep dives

Election Outcome Irrelevance

The speaker emphasizes that the outcome of elections, particularly in the context of the U.S., is largely irrelevant to the overarching dynamics influencing the economy and cryptocurrency markets. They argue that regardless of whether Trump or Harris were to win, the fundamental regulatory environment and macroeconomic situation remain unchanged. The underlying belief is that the achievements of Bitcoin and Ethereum are not primarily driven by regulatory capture, but by their technological advancements and market demand. This perspective suggests that political outcomes do not significantly affect the trajectory of these digital assets.
