"Chain Migration also undermines national security, by failing to establish merit-based criteria for evaluating entrants into the United States – instead, familial relations are all that is required to obtain a green card and, in turn, become a voting U.S. Citizen within a short period of time, with access to Federal welfare and government benefits."

Uh... how does this undermine national security?

That immigration thing is just trying to dogwhistle refugees and dreamers again. The whole slideshow is an attempt to contrast "skill-based" immigrants with all the other categories of immigrants, who are then presented as a cohesive unit of talentless wellfare queens. I'm guessing the new anti-immigration talking point will be "we should prioritize work-based visas" rather than "brown people fleeing warzones are bad and scary" or "children who've lived their entire lives in america are unamerican".

I'm starting to think we need a Lee Atwater smiley.

A huge number of idiots who didn't buy in the first time will do so this round, which will allow others to liquidate their positions and probably drive the price back to where it was 12 months ago.

RIP the idiots who put in their life savings at $19k. :laffo:

On the other hand, I could totally see buttcoin go up to $100k (and then down to $30k and up to $120k and down to $1k and up to $110k and down to $0.05) in the next decade, offering even greater potential for schadenfreude and cheap laffs.

People seem to think BTC will be a hedge in case of a traditional economic downturn. I have no idea why they think this, I don't believe it's counter-cyclical at all.

They think this because they believe in discredited economic theories like commodity-backed currency and laissez-faire.

You can tell because they take Bitcoin seriously.

never argue sincerely with a bitcoiner, they have endless patience due to their participation in a currency that is solely based on market confidence

Both "use cases" are basically bullshit. Approximately nobody uses bitcoin in either country. Every story in the news about bitcoins in Venezuela is a few local libertarians pumping it up, usually elecctricity thieves.
