Winklevoss Twins are not falling for Kamala Harris’s recent antics about having a “reset” with the crypto community. They have asked for a show of goodwill, like retiring the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Chair Gary Gensler.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump spoke at the 2024 Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee. He called on Bitcoin holders to never sell their BTC because he foresees BTC’s market cap of beating gold’s market cap.

Kamala Harris was absent, and for good reason. The Biden administration has had a negative rapport with the crypto industry. While she was absent, she was making plans to “reset” the negative sentiment within the crypto community.
The Winklevoss twins are not falling for the “reset” plan, which Cameron calls “Big Bluff.” Cameron adds that “[Kamala] Harris and her advisors are in the process of working on a “reset” with the crypto industry. Being respectful of the Vice President’s time, let’s be crystal clear here:”
[Kamala Harris, please don’t bother unless you are prepared to take swift, bold, and concrete action. You can’t burn bridges for 4 years and expect to rebuild them with words alone. As President Trump astutely pointed out this weekend at the [Bitcoin Conference], we are a high IQ industry. We will not fall for any bluffs. And we will not be swayed by what you say. We will only consider what you do.

Cameron Winklevoss asks Kamala to simply retire SEC’s Chair. He states, “You and your party retired Joe Biden, a sitting President, which means you can definitely retire Gary Gensler before November. Show us what can be.”
Winklevoss Twins give Kamala a political playbook
His brother, Tyler Winklevoss, agrees with him. In an X post today, he asked Kamala Harris to “Run the playbook. Get George Clooney to write an op-ed, have Obama make some calls, send the talking points to CNN, etc. You know what to do to fire Gary Gensler.”
One user on X notes, “It’s a whole mountain to climb. Very many hostile actions against crypto have happened in the past four years to just overlook now.”

This is not the first time the Winklevoss Twins have shown skepticism about Kamal Harris pivoting to crypto. Reports show that Kamala Harris’ advisors reached out to billionaire Mark Cuban with questions about crypto policy.
Cuban told Politico, “The feedback I’m getting, but certainly not confirmed by the VP, is that she will be far more open to business, [artificial intelligence], crypto, and government as a service.”
However, Tyler believes her actions are too late and that she needs to do more than just talk.
Talk is cheap. She would need to start by immediately firing [SEC Chairman] Gary Gensler, withdrawing all SEC enforcement actions against good actors, and ending Operation Chokepoint 2.0. She won’t do this so she won’t stand a chance in winning back the crypto voting block. Time for change.
Tyler Winklevoss
The Digital Chamber has asked her to take a more progressive stance toward the industry and take quick action to improve the bad public view of crypto voters, towards Democrats.
