Campaign website
Solstin's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Social Liberal and Fiscal Conservative Fix Our Broken Monetary System: Inflation is at a 40-year high. US debt is $30 trillion and accelerating. Since 1971, The Fed’s money printing is administered like a painkiller. After 50 years, the US economy is addicted to synthetic stimulus. We can forgo the Weimar Republic pattern. There is a way out. Wtfhappenedin1971.com Since 1971, wealth inequality continues to widen. QE and money printing is the biggest wealth transfer to the financial class in human history. Money printing is bleeding the working class. Inflating housing, food, and fuel. The root cause of homelessness. We are in a large-debt cycle and Bitcoin will provide relief from the failing US Dollar. As Senator Solstin, I will focus on fixing our broken monetary system. Bitcoin eliminates the magic money printer. Eliminates inflation. Crypto does not. Crypto is fiat. I want to be Senator Solstin to give control back to citizens. I advocate privacy, individual sovereignty, and private property. In summary, Bitcoin. Nothing else is sufficiently decentralized. As a privacy advocate, I will fight every CBDC effort, including countries who implement a CBDC. The US worker shouldn’t compete with an ultra-centralized, economy. Central Bank Digital Coin is slave money. Dystopian. I’m happy to debate this with any opponent. Conservationist: I will fight for clean air, clean water, clean soil, and clean energy. STEM Leadership: The internet’s TCP/IP accelerates the velocity-of-data. Bitcoin's BTC/LN accelerates the velocity-of-value. Both protocols demonstrate decentralized resiliency, and accelerates the digital transformation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). I will strategically invest in STEM's digital transformation, accelerating abundance and prosperity for everyone. The aging US Senate desperately needs proven, STEM leadership. In the next term, Senator Murray will be 78.[2] |
