Clown World wins again, as predicted.
And there's no bigger clown than Trump so of course he was going to win. I've been saying as much since 2021, or more accurately my prediction was the Biden had a 0% chance of winning reelection... so boy was I right in more than one way, eh?
And not only is Trump for sure going to win at this point, but also it looks like he's going to take every single swing state. Proving once again the thing we were saying all along: that the polls were worthless and wrongly skewed toward democrats... again. No matter what the truth really is we can be damn sure that the betting markets will be taken far more seriously than the polls. Money talks and bullshit walks. Gamblers are now more trustworthy than statisticians. For now. The world is going to trust Polymarket more than they'll trust another source as long as they keep getting it right.

Here we see Harris underperforming Biden in every single county in the entire country... so that's fun. But I thought the media was leading us to believe that this brave new pick of joy was like a super popular candidate! Gee whiz Batman I guess not. That's what you get when you don't have a primary and you pick someone who could of never in a million years won a primary election.
I've also seen firsthand how Harris lost a ton of votes over certain key issues like the "war" in the middle-east. The left simply refused to represent the people that were expected to vote for them. Again, this is why we hold primary elections or more accurately allow the incumbent to run, not that Biden would have done any better this time around. I'm personally convinced he would have been slaughtered in this election, which is exactly why the scramble happened in the first place. The media lied through their teeth the entire time acting like this was a great position to be in. Sometimes fake-it-till-you-make-it doesn't work.
Popular Vote?
The dem response to losing an election is usually, "Yeah well the electoral college is stupid and we should do a popular vote." I used to agree as well especially when I was much younger. Why don't we just do a popular vote instead of all this nonsense where land and states are the ones doing the voting? Now I realize that the electoral college is actually much more decentralized and robust than a popular vote. It's much harder to cheat when you can't just stuff a single ballot box.

Looking at the data is highly suspicious.
Dems get the same amount of votes every election but magically in 2020 there are millions of extra votes? This can easily be explained away by the fact that Trump Derangement Syndrome and utter distain for the president was at an all time high in 2020... and now after 4 terrible years under Biden people realize, "Hm wait a minute WW3 was on the table the entire time anyway and the economy is complete trash now."
The above data is also tainted in that all the votes haven't even been counted yet. California alone is probably going to give Harris like 5M more votes, so take this info with a grain of salt to be sure. I simply don't trust the election process either way so it's easy to talk trash and parrot my own bias.
Oh and did I forget to mention that Trump won the popular vote?
Whoosie! Pretty insane honestly. Clown World strong. Embrace it like I have.
The simulation continues.
Potential wins for crypto:
Obviously people who lean left are pretty upset about this turn of events but this election feels a lot different than it did in 2016. There's a lot of silver linings here especially when we specifically get into the crypto of it all.
- Trump might pardon Ross Ulbricht.
- RFK is talking about removing fluoride from water and other poisons from food that are already banned in more reasonable countries. I've been anti-fluoride since before I got into crypto, which was a very unpopular stance back then, especially in CA.
- Gary Gensler is for sure getting fired. Bye bye dickhead.
- Bitcoin is already trading at all time highs again right before 2025.
As someone who has zero faith in the legacy system and the direction we are headed in it's nice to see that the decentralized system I do believe in is about to get completely unlocked after four years of suppression. And let me remind everyone that most of this suppression was completely illegal. Operation 2.0 was/is an illegal shadow operation. Gary Gensler has been operating in bad faith for his entire term. The SEC has been getting visibly embarrassed and chastised in every single case they bring against us. All that nonsense is now going away as we move into the bull market year of the cycle.
The amount of opportunity we get granted next year is going to be a thing of legend. The only question is what we are actually going to do with those resources. Don't fumble the bag on that one if you actually want to help change the world with this newfound power. Even more true if you hate Trump. There's no rule saying you can't use what he gives you against him and what he stands for.
Kamala is a police-state bootlicker.
Seriously. A prosecuting attorney within the biggest police state the world has ever laid eyes on? Walz was just as bad as far as I could tell. These people were fully ready for another lockdown and martial law just for shits and giggles. People say the same is true about Trump. Maybe that's true. I don't know what's in store over the next four years. I do know it won't be boring.
FOMC meeting today and tomorrow.
On top of all of this madness the FED might lower rates again tomorrow. I haven't been paying attention to it this time around (no one is) so I guess we'll get updates after people calm down about the election and BTC all time highs. The banking network is still crippled and the elite craves easy money. Something tells me they'll get what they want.
Conclusion
Truly not sure what to think about this outcome. I really did hate both sides pretty equally but this result does seem to be pretty bullish for crypto, which is my true focus. I have still never voted and never will vote (except within DPOS). The only vote they'll get from me is one of no-confidence. Let's try to make the best of this, shall we? Go Team.
