Arthur Hayes: Before giving money, let politicians contribute to encryption first

On July 28, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on X saying, "Don't be foolish, let these vampires do something positive for crypto before considering giving them money." He then attached a letter from Democratic Party officials and congressmen to Jaime Harrison, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and future presidential candidates of the Democratic Party. The letter stated that "from an election perspective. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology have a huge impact on ensuring victory in elections. More than 20% of voters in key swing states regard cryptocurrency as a major issue in the 2024 election. We believe this technology is non-partisan and Democrats should also support these innovations to help reaffirm America's position as a global leader in digital economy."
