POV: most of the 2023 Democrats anti-crypto platform is rooted in an outdated belief that all cryptocurrency requires mining, and therefore, massive carbon emissions.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.

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.
