Crypto Voters Are Already Disrupting the 2024 Election — and It's Set to Continue

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has the endorsement of many crypto users who may see the campaign as an opportunity for a “reset,” but some in the mining industry are still skeptical.

A MARA — formerly Marathon Digital Holdings — spokesperson told Cointelegraph that the crypto mining firm was attempting to engage with both sides of the political aisle ahead of the 2024 election but had gotten mainly positive responses from those outside the Democratic Party. Republican nominee Donald Trump met with representatives of many mining companies in June, taking photos and declaring his intention to have all Bitcoin BTC “made in the USA” — a pledge he reiterated to Bitcoin 2024 conference attendees in July.

Before US President Joe Biden announced he would not run for reelection in 2024, many of the criticisms against the administration on crypto were directed at enforcement actions brought by Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler and legislation equating digital assets with illicit use introduced by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. The senator has criticized the energy usage of mining firms, suggesting it could negatively impact the environment.

Kempen Harris berusia kurang daripada tiga minggu dan, pada masa penerbitan, tidak pernah mengulas secara langsung mengenai teknologi crypto atau blockchain. Sama seperti kempen Trump menjangkau pelombong, ada yang mencadangkan bahawa calon presiden Demokrat harus menetapkan kedudukan yang jelas mengenai aset digital untuk ditimbang oleh pengundi sebelum November.

Bercakap kepada Cointelegraph pada 15 Ogos, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MARA Fred Thiel berkata wakil daripada kempen Trump dan Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "mencapai untuk melibatkan diri dengan industri sangat awal" untuk mewujudkan hubungan, kemudian menubuhkan platform yang secara amnya menyokong pelombong . Thiel mencadangkan bahawa Presiden Biden mungkin telah melunakkan pendiriannya mengenai perundangan dan dasar yang dianggap sebagai "anti-crypto" oleh ramai dalam industri, menyedari mungkin terdapat harga politik yang perlu dibayar di kalangan pengundi isu tunggal dalam pilihan raya.

Namun, menurut CEO, usaha Demokrat untuk mencadangkan Harris harus menyokong crypto telah gagal. Kumpulan advokasi yang dipanggil 'Crypto4Harris' mengadakan dewan bandar maya pada 14 Ogos di mana penggubal undang-undang, termasuk Ketua Majoriti Senat Chuck Schumer, bercakap menyokong peraturan aset digital yang wajar.

“Ahli industri kami dan saya sendiri secara langsung telah menghubungi pelbagai ahli pasukan Harris untuk berkata, 'Hei, kami ingin bercakap dengan anda tentang Bitcoin dan sebab kami fikir penting untuk anda menyokong Bitcoin,'” kata Thiel . “Kebimbangan kami ialah pentadbiran Harris mengambil sikap agresif terhadap Bitcoin [...] Sebagai sebuah industri, kami agnostik tentang politik; kami hanya mahu industri kami berkembang maju.”

'Tidak menyebut tentang Bitcoin'

Harris dijangka mengumumkan agenda ekonominya pada 16 Ogos. Kempennya berkata platform itu akan menumpukan pada mengurangkan "peningkatan harga korporat" untuk "menurunkan kos runcit rakyat Amerika dan mengawal inflasi."

“Saya menjangkakan tidak akan menyebut Bitcoin dalam dasar itu, yang memberitahu saya tiada perubahan pada perspektifnya terhadap apa yang telah dilakukan oleh pentadbiran Biden, yang memberitahu saya bahawa mereka akan menyasarkannya,” kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MARA itu. “Jika terdapat bahasa dalam platform dasar yang menyokong Bitcoin [...] itu akan menjadi petanda yang baik.”

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MARA menambah:

Perlumbaan presiden semakin ketat

Ramai pengundi crypto isu tunggal tertarik kepada calon seperti Trump dan RFK Jr. Walau bagaimanapun, sejak menyertai perlumbaan presiden pada 21 Julai, pengundian untuk Harris telah mencadangkan kepanasan antara dia dan calon Republikan.

Sehingga 15 Ogos, platform ramalan pasaran Polymarket — popular dalam kalangan pengguna crypto — menunjukkan Harris mendahului Trump di banyak negeri medan pertempuran, dengan kelebihan sepuluh mata di seluruh negara. Thiel seolah-olah mengakui terdapat kemungkinan bahawa calon Demokrat boleh mempunyai kelebihan dalam perlumbaan 2024, meninggalkan masa depan yang tidak menentu bagi pelombong BTC.

"Tiada apa-apa yang telah dilakukan oleh pasukan Harris yang menunjukkan kepada saya sekurang-kurangnya bahawa mereka akan mesra terhadap Bitcoin, yang hanya memberitahu saya mungkin kita benar-benar harus mempercepatkan memindahkan perniagaan kita ke luar pesisir," kata Thiel. “Anggap saja semua perancangan strategik saya untuk 2025 sekarang sedang mencari di luar AS.”

MARA mengumumkan pada bulan Ogos bahawa ia akan mengecop semua blok BTC yang dihasilkan di AS dengan teks "Made in USA" — nampaknya sebagai tindak balas kepada ikrar kempen Trump. Cointelegraph menghubungi jurucakap Cleanspark, yang enggan mengulas mengenai perlumbaan presiden. Jurucakap Riot Platforms tidak memberi respons pada masa penerbitan.
