Lonely left: The political winds of the crypto industry

As Donald Trump shows a positive attitude towards digital assets, the cryptocurrency investor community is full of expectations and joy that the United States may welcome the first president who supports cryptocurrencies. This trend has exacerbated the industry's declining tolerance for political diversity and formed a clear rightward trend.

Trump's speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, which made "making the United States the cryptocurrency capital of the earth" as a campaign promise, further ignited the industry's enthusiasm. From industry executives to everyday traders, most people stood on the side of the Republican government and shared the optimism of Trump's policy vision.

In this political feast, Gemini's Winklevoss brothers, BitGo's Mike Belshe, Messari's former CEO Ryan Selkis, and well-known venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have become representatives of the cryptocurrency field in the Trump camp. However, in sharp contrast, the voices in the industry that support the Democratic Party or hold dissidents seem unusually weak, partly because of the online violence and isolation that may be faced by publicly expressing such positions.

Selkis himself was controversial for his radical remarks on election issues and eventually chose to resign as CEO of Messari. This incident further highlighted the tense atmosphere of political differences within the industry. In the world of cryptocurrency, the change in political direction is quietly reshaping the industry's ecology and structure. $BOME $XRP $BTC #美国政府转移BTC #美联储何时降息？
