/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

Thanks for the reply Jake!

So I would say my belief is that these people are less "pro crypto" and more "not anti crypto" going forward - well at least for this year.

I'm no expert on this though and maybe it's just wishful thinking 😅

2/ There are many moderate + pro-innovation Democrats running for office across the country who look at crypto positively.

There are also states (like Ohio) where a pro-crypto shift might help win enough votes to matter.

But Warren and company aren't in either category. If anything, anti-crypto is a winner for them.

1/ Great content from @sassal.eth as always, but sadly I don't see most Democrats running for office in 2024 taking a pro-crypto position.

The Biden administration (and therefore the party) has delegated much of its financial regulatory policy to Sen. Warren and other skeptics who seem just as anti-crypto as ever now.

I think he is way too optimistic about politicians thinking pro-crypto policies will win votes. Like it or not, there are a lot of voters who don't like or understand crypto and are resentful of "shadowy crypto billionaires."
