"Is anyone here invested in crypto or even just Bitcoin? Just curious. I am heavily into it and keep up with news on the crypto front as well as the overall financial sector. It's amazing to see what has changed in just the last year with regards to our gov'ts stance on crypto and innovation. And when I first got into it it was fairly non partisan but has now become a completely partisan issue. The democrats have taken a strong stance that they do not want crypto in the US and have tried to screw investors over on many fronts. The republicans in contrast are taking a pro-crypto stance. This is one of the biggest issues now for me. And it has not played a major role in elections to this point but I believe the 2024 election will be the first where this issue starts to be on the radar. I read somewhere around 1 in 4 households in America now owns at least some Bitcoin or crypto.
It will be interesting to watch. Biden has spoken lie after lie against it. RFK was a speaker at the Bitcoin conference in Miami. Trump has stayed out of this largely (which is odd to say on anything) but in the past had a mild stance against it. However given all the dynamic shifts since he was last in office I would imagine he will have to speak on it soon. DeSantis has also taken pro crypto stances as has Ted Cruz and Cynthia Lummus. Again... I don't know what will happen but it could be something to watch."
I posted the above in another election thread back in May of 2023. I've posted some whoppers in my time but it turns out I was somewhat right on this one. It could explain why more Gen Z is breaking for Trump. It has also been openly spoken about in campaigns now for the first time. I know there's a lot riding on this election and a lot of big issues being only a few weeks away now but I still think that it was smart for the GOP and Trump to take a pro stance on this for the last few years. Now Kamala is just throwing **** at the wall to see if it sticks... she even tied crypto to helping black men... lol.
It's fascinating to me how MAGA-types are attracted to grifts like moth to flame.
Gee, I wonder why Trump is suddenly so into crypto? Any chance he and his family are launching a crypto business? Given the sleaze-balls that industry attracts I wonder why it took them so long?
