The cryptocurrency industry has been working overtime to sell a story: that there is a large contingent of voters voting based on candidates’ crypto policy stances. The problem is, it’s a story that does not seem to be well supported by data.

Cryptocurrency isn't a voter issue. It's a billionaire issue being pumped up in a funded malign influence campaign.

Billionaires want cryptocurrency for a number of reasons.
Scams. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Threat funding for domestic terrorism. Disinformation campaigns. Covert cash for coup attempts. Keeping the globe hooked on the oil.

Fiat money is terribly attractive to anti-democracy billionaires. When it crashes, it'll make 1929 look trivial.
