I haven't heard anything from either one of the candidates about Bitcoin.

WikiLeaks posted some hacked emails from the Clinton campaign that say the Clintons are being advised by Stan Stalnaker (a Ven promoter) that Bitcoin is not as good as Ven.

The US government can't be too harsh on Bitcoin since it auctioned the Silk Road coins, it's too late for the Clintons opinion of Bitcoin to make it do a policy U-turn.

Newly leaked Clinton correspondence from WikiLeaks shows that her campaign saw the benefits of cryptocurrency but had antipathy towards Bitcoin.

The Ven promoter (Stan Stalnaker) wanted Clintons campaign to use Ven to enable single click micro-payments and other fundraising activities for the campaign. As we discussed, Bitcoin is being used on the Republican side and could be a useful tool, but we think Ven is a better choice for your campaign due to its environmental benefits, identity metrics and closed loop status.

So we actually are hoping for a trump win in the bitcoin community if you look at it this way Tongue
