Public Citizen just released a must-read report on the cryptocurrency industry’s spending this election cycle: https://www.citizen.org/article/big-crypto-big-spending-2024/
Nearly half of all corporate money contributed this cycle has come from cryptocurrency backers!
@molly0xfff It's almost like you can tell how corrupt an industry is by how much money it funnels into super PACs....
@molly0xfff I wonder how much of that money is coming from crypto investors without their knowledge.
@molly0xfff
What is their end goal? Is it deregulation (i.e. no prosecution) or maybe even that crypto reserve Trump promised (infinite bailout against crashes)?
@drukac yes, deregulation mostly. one of the biggest goals is seeing much of the cryptocurrency removed from the SEC’s jurisdiction and placed under the CFTC (a smaller agency with fewer resources)
And most of it is going to GOP.
@molly0xfff Clearly they've realised the only way to keep the grift going is to have a gullible and malleable president, and are going all out to make sure that happens.
