    So I don’t like msn, I went to look for a different source. I fould a lot of matter-of-fact articles “trump gives speech” type things. I found some dipshitty “trump’s gonna …” and “trump believes…” articles. Nothing about his reception.

    So, I dug further and dug through some crypto forums. The few that I read said things like “never watch political speech before” and “he’s a good businessman, so” …

    Apparently he tried to score with a line about stablecoin which didn’t work, because, uh, bitcoin go brrrr i guess. Didn’t see a lot of belief that he knew anything but they all appreciated the woohooing he gave. In the three or four communities I looked, I didn’t see any real political opinion, quite a lot of political naïevite, and strong sensation that the commenters were all in a culture of ‘manufacturing consent’ to coin a phrase.

    So is the crypto vote an actual bloc of any substance? It is according to the crypto channels. Other than that, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      They have money to spend, and Trump wants them to spend it on him. Whether they will or not remains to be seen.
