Sanders is a rare voice for progressive, prosocial reform in the US. His policy positions resonate with many of us who feel that government should support ordinary people at least as much as the obscenely wealthy.

But beyond that, he's genuine and his messaging has been consistent for decades. You can literally find images of him being arrested fighting for social justice in the 60's.

Also he's sharp and nearly every time he makes a point he drops the facts to support it.

It goes to whoever can provide Bitcoin. So, likely an exchange. Which ultimately gives the money to people selling Bitcoin. Many of whom are in North Korea and Russia.

Crypto investment is very risky. Too volatile. Too virtual. No protection against theft/fraud. Also a govt should really invest in companies in its own jurisdiction.
