Less than a month before Election Day, Kamala Harris is sweating bullets. And nothing proves it more than her pathetic, last-ditch effort to pay lip service to the digital asset industry. Look no further than her ignorant attempt to turn crypto into a race-based issue, or her inability to provide details on specific digital asset policy positions. 

Week after week, Harris continues to demonstrate how little she knows about this sector of our economy, and why she is wholly unfit to lead our country in the financial space race. Technology is neutral. Digital assets are for all Americans, but the more we learn about Kamala Harris, the more we realize that she misses that fundamental point.

Harris recently rolled out her “opportunity agenda for Black men” which included a provision to “protect cryptocurrency investments so Black men who make them know their money is safe.” Not only is this point disturbingly racist and vague, but it also shows that she in no way understands the digital asset space. The beautiful thing about cryptocurrency is that it’s neutral. It’s not about race or gender. It’s about providing equal opportunity for all. 

For years, Congress has worked in a bipartisan manner to unlock that opportunity for all Americans, while the Harris-Biden administration has been working overtime against us. Identity politics kneecaps progress when we’re building a peer-to-peer digital economy, and it’s clear the only presidential candidate who understands that fact is Donald Trump.

Unlike Harris, who has failed to provide any substantive details on her digital asset policy positions, President Trump has been clear about his pro-crypto agenda that works for all Americans. He promised to “end the Democrats’ unlawful and un-American crypto crackdown.” He opposes the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which would give the federal government the ability to surveil and restrict Americans’ financial transactions.

He also promised to protect every American’s right to self-custody and to fire Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler on day one. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has not given any insight into where she stands on specific issues such as self-custody, CBDCs, or the future leadership at the SEC. But what she lacks in words, she makes up for in actions. Harris has been in office for the last four years after all, and as she admitted in an interview recently, “there is not a thing” she would have done differently than President Biden. 

One look at the Harris-Biden administration’s egregious war on crypto tells voters everything they need to know about what the next four years would look like if Harris stays in the White House.

The Harris-Biden administration is the architect of Operation Choke Point 2.0. Their SEC — under incompetent, cop-on-the-beat Gary Gensler — has attempted to circumvent Congress and “legislate” through regulation-by-enforcement, driving digital asset innovation off our shores.

They have attacked Bitcoin miners for simply using energy, and have actively pursued a CBDC, which, if not designed to emulate cash, is nothing more than a CCP-style surveillance tool. Giving people power over their own money is not and should not be a partisan issue. But unfortunately, the Harris-Biden administration has been hell-bent on making it one. Worst of all, Kamala Harris has given little to no indication she would change course if elected president in  November.

Now more than ever, we need a leader in the White House who understands that digital assets are for all Americans. We need a crypto Commander in Chief who will help ensure the next iteration of the internet is designed by Americans with American values. We need someone in the Oval Office who will allow digital assets to flourish right here in the United States, not push innovation overseas. 

While Congress continues its bipartisan digital asset policy work, history has proven there’s only one candidate in this race who will end Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s war on crypto once and for all, and that candidate is Donald Trump. With President Trump in the White House, and with Republican majorities in Congress, we will make America the crypto capital of the world.
