For long, politicians have been skeptical about crypto/Blockchain tech as it provides an "escape route" from the existing monetary system controlled by governments worldwide. Some of them have seen the benefits of this emerging industry, showing their support for crypto. In the US, a presidential candidate named "Andrew Yang" publicly expressed his support for crypto/Blockchain technology. Other politicians have touched the subject lightly. All of this is good since it helps Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies grow in the mainstream world. The same politicians supporting this emerging industry, could perform legislations to make crypto/Blockchain tech more legitimate in the mainstream world. Yet, the number of politicians supporting crypto is very small compared to those who don't.
Which politicians support Bitcoin? Do you think world leaders will embrace crypto/Blockchain tech at its fullest? Or will they go against it? What impact will mainstream politics have in the future direction of Bitcoin? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
In my country, there are some officials that are known to possess cryptocurrencies, but it's not like they are Bitcoin promoters or anything. There were some project laws on crypto regulations with none becoming the law. I think they a politician that supports Bitcoin is likely to be young and progressive. Conservatives tend to believe that Bitcoin is shady, but in general, I don't think that political agenda is relevant (Bitcoin can be used by libertarians and terrorist muslim fundamentalists alike).Which politicians support Bitcoin?
