No this is not a joke, the guy who said he will eat his own dick on television is going to run in 2020. Yep. But the good news is he is running on a pro crypto platform so it will be a lot of exposure. Hey if a reality star can win :p. His plan is to run with the libertarian party so that is something. And he does not think he will win.
Well I say more power for him. Maybe he will win. What changes would we see? Bitcoin would become an accepted tender everywhere in the states. There would be a crypto USD for sure. An american coin. And every company would have to go blockchain. Maybe that will not be so bad...
