Some folks are really obsessed with the US election. I can understand it partly because Trump, as the first candidate ever in US election history (afaik) has taken a very pro-crypto stance.

But that doesn't mean that Bitcoin will not be fine if Kamala Harris wins. Even if she didn't reveal her stance on crypto/Bitcoin (yet) and is likely to continue the Biden approach which is more skeptical to "crypto", above all altcoins

We are coming from 4 years of US government extremely against the cryptocurrencies, and the SEC received clear orders to make it difficult for everyone and yet we saw bitcoin doing several new ATH and we even got the BTC and ETH ETFs approved. I don't see what else could Harris do at this point, of course she'll keep being against cryptos but who cares? It was already too late to stop cryptos 4 years ago, it's too late now, nothing changed. I don't care who wins (I really despise both candidates) and bitcoin won't care either, as usual.

If you look at what is happening, the government really influences bitcoin sentiment in my opinion, especially if it is the US, political policies will affect the view of how it will go in the future, whether we like it or not we have to watch even though we don't care who wins over the two candidates, the policies they might issue about crypto or most importantly Bitcoin are one of the things we need to consider.

I also don't care who wins because I am not a US citizen, but because it is related to bitcoin, it becomes more interesting, because Trump uses bitcoin as one of his campaign tools, but from Harris' side he has not given his views on Bitcoin, making it a double-edged sword that we cannot conclude yet, during Biden's time I think they are not tough on bitcoin or crypto, it's just that they discipline developers and business people in this industry.
