Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States and a potential Democratic Party candidate for the upcoming election, will reportedly not be attending the Bitcoin Conference 2024, as confirmed by David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine. Disappointing But Not Unexpected Bailey noted the decision is not unexpected , as the Biden administration is very much anti-crypto in general. David also previously hinted at the possibility of Harris, a potential Democratic presidential nominee, speaking at the event similar to her Republican counterpart, Donald Trump, describing it as an opportunity for the party to reconsider its stance on crypto. The decision for Harris not to attend has sparked speculation about her possibly negative stance on crypto. Bailey himself seems to share this perspective and reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump, emphasizing the potential difficulties Harris might face addressing the community given current policies. Stuck In The Past Some like Adam Cochran criticize the crypto community for increasingly attacking Democrats, suggesting a need for bipartisan engagement to advance constructive crypto policies. Many in the community believe that the Democratic party is more interested in maintaining the status quo rather than pushing the envelope in terms of financial innovation. While reports suggest Harris may reconsider her approach to crypto if elected in the upcoming presidential election following Joe Biden opting to drop out of the race, skepticism remains among stakeholders like Tyler Winklevoss and other notable names.
