Some in the Monero groups here are not Libertarian, and are more interested in privacy/tech in general. That’s fine. But Macro level politics are important to Monero... Because Reto/Haveno is a response to those politics.

The Libertarian Convention went down and there were some developments, including picking a nominee and Trump speaking. There are big political impacts of Trump talking at LP because he is being forced to be more pro-crypto and anti-CBDC to try to sway Libertarian voters. The fact that a mainstream candidate is even showing up to the table is big. “Free Ross” signs went up directly in front of the conservative cameras like Right Side Broadcasting, and Trump did make concessions on Ross

Now is Trump actually pure? No. Is the LP nominee pure? Actually, No.
An ideological battle went down, and here’s what came out of it: https://rebelnet.me/news/0xcfca11d5fe4eb61788

I'm honestly glad to see that these mainstream candidates have to take the libertarian viewpoint into account. At least a little bit.
