Potential Presidential Candidates Eyeing Bitcoin Voters
David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and the event organizer, mentioned the potential addition of Kamala Harris to the lineup. This move could be a strategic one to appeal to the rapidly growing crypto-savvy voter base in the country.
The news of Harris’s possible participation has triggered varied reactions within the crypto community. Tyler Winklevoss, founder of Gemini exchange, expressed doubt about the sincerity of Harris’s interest, calling for tangible actions like firing Gary Gensler and halting SEC enforcement actions against legitimate players in the crypto space.
Ram Ahluwalia, CEO of Lumida Wealth, highlighted the changing political landscape, emphasizing the importance of actions over words. Wayne Vaughan and David Gokhshtein also weighed in with skeptical perspectives on Harris’s motives for engaging with the crypto community.
Entrepreneur Mark Cuban revealed that Harris’s team had approached him with inquiries about cryptocurrency, signaling a potential shift towards a more crypto-friendly stance. This development comes hot on the heels of Donald Trump’s recent pro-Bitcoin statements.
Trump’s rumored announcement of BTC as a strategic reserve asset for the US during the conference has generated significant excitement. The cryptocurrency was trading at $65,615 at the time of reporting.
