I know certain factions in the Biden administration have made it seem like crypto is a political issue. But a lot of Dems are pro-crypto and have crossed party lines multiple times (including just this week!) to express their support for crypto.

IMO, it’s not a good idea for the industry to only support one side. If that side doesn’t win, things could get even worse for crypto.

It seems the better strategy is to not stoop to the level of those who would make it a political issue but instead court politicians on both sides of the aisle so you have supporters no matter which side is in power. My 🪙🪙

As an example, here’s an interview I did with Democrat Ritchie Torres, who is pro-crypto: https://youtu.be/7ocDx7zI0uc?si=MVuSz6Me8Iv_CLcJ

The better indicator for whether a politician is pro or anti-crypto is not party affiliation, but instead how much campaign contributions have they taken from banks and tradfi? It just so happens that banks contribute more to Democrats overall, but not all of them

Laura, I am sure you understand this point, but I will say it anyway: Crypto has always been political. Starting in the 90s. to present day when UK and Australian politicians are still trying to mandate backdoors. Appealing to reason has not worked. Rolling over and taking the abuse silently will not either.
