Here it is worth it to note that not all the voters in this Twitter poll were from America, instead Crypto investors from several countries.
At present, the top crypto-friendly candidates in the US presidential election race are Vivek Ramaswamy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
On 18 May 2023, Ramaswamy said that Bitcoin should not be regulated as a security.
On 3 May 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed the Biden administration’s 30% tax policy on Bitcoin miners. Robert compared Bitcoin mining with Video games & further suggested no kind of such restrictions.
Cryptocurrencies, led by bitcoin, along with other crypto technologies are a major innovation engine. It is a mistake for the U.S. government to hobble the industry and drive innovation elsewhere. Biden’s proposed 30% tax on cryptocurrency mining is a bad idea.

Another crypto-friendly US president is Nikki Haley. However, Nikki failed to talk about her stance on Bitcoin in the recent days but in the past, she criticized the US securities regulatory body over a bad regulatory approach & failure to handle the FTX bankruptcy-like cases.
US presidential candidate Marianne Willamsois also Bitcoin-friendly. In 2022, she opposed the Canadian government’s crypto ban rules.
Here no one can forget Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who confirmed that he will support Bitcoin-friendly policies in the US if he is elected, during a Twitter space discussion with Elon Musk.
