POV: most of the 2023 Democrats anti-crypto platform is rooted in an outdated belief that all cryptocurrency requires mining, and therefore, massive carbon emissions. An endorsement from major environmental orgs on proof-of-stake being OK would likely help shift that narrative.

Really? I haven’t heard anyone bring this up in a while. Not disagreeing but I thought the blatant scams, ponzi-like nature of most projects, SBF, and (not agreeing) bank collapse were the primary talking points Feels a little like ethereum cope

Disagree. I don’t think it’s about the environment at all. It’s about opposing alternative forms of money.

But would be viewed by bitcoiners, known for being civil, as an attack/effort to split the ecosystem/treason.

Taylor Swift minting her music would change the narrative more.

There is also no “consensus” yet that carbon emissions is a problem tho. Get it. “Consensus”.

Yeah, I think that’s a *part* of the perception problem. Early adopter value narrative was just so largely utilitarian/libertarian: ignoring environmental impact, exploiting lack of regs, evading taxes... and still persists. Not enough focus on humanism, equality, community organizing, financial/gov transparency.

Feel like the way to change this is to run some democrats and show what we can do when we put our mind to it. Need someone in DC talking about PoS.

Agree. Would take it a step further and say most of the general public’s perception is based on a dated model of digital assets / web3 rooted in 2017 ICO memes.

I also just think its laziness. Politicians see people lose money,& get scammed, its much easier to say Crypto = Bad, rather than try to understand how it can be useful. I'm most disappointed in Warren. If you listen to her speak before her CFPB days, it sounds like exactly the type of thing she would support.

Don't we have a much bigger problem when policymakers have such an outdated view of a $1T industry?
