Data Shows 84% Require BTC Support to Vote a Presidential Candidate
  • Michael Saylor polled crypto about their preferred presidential candidate.
  • People assert the need for presidential candidates to endorse their right to BTC.
  • About 84% of participants indicated the requirement for candidates’ support of Bitcoin.

In a recent tweet that sparked widespread interest in the crypto community, Michael Saylor, the prominent Bitcoin advocate and chairman of MicroStrategy, posed a thought-provoking question, asking crypto enthusiasts whether they would require presidential candidates to support their right to Bitcoin (BTC) investments and trading before earning their votes.

The poll quickly gained traction, with a staggering 447.6k viewers and 31,200 votes, highlighting the growing significance of Bitcoin and the demand for its acknowledgment within the political landscape.

The poll results showcased a significant groundswell of support for Bitcoin and its place in the political discourse. Out of the vast number of participants, a resounding 83.8% indicated that they would indeed require presidential candidates to espouse their right to Bitcoin before earning their vote.

The survey conducted by Saylor serves as an eye-opening indicator of the crypto community’s desire to have political leaders who champion the advancement and acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

This poll comes at a crucial time as governments worldwide grapple with regulating digital assets, trying to strike a balance between innovation and security. The results provide a clear signal to political figures that the crypto community demands a thoughtful and supportive approach to the burgeoning crypto space.

Early this month, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano blockchain, urged the American populace to become a single issuer voter in the forthcoming election cycle to curb the U.S. government’s perceived “madness” regarding crypto regulation.

Hoskinson made the call in response to a Democrat memo which is believed to be a sign that the government was gearing up to crack down on crypto.
