In a video that was just uploaded on Cardanians.io, Charles Hoskinson, the inventor of Cardano, urged voters in the United States to give cryptocurrency a higher priority in the forthcoming elections. Hoskinson, while addressing the American audience directly, emphasised the potential significance of blockchain technology in the economic, political, and social fabric of the United States of America. He cautioned that the re-election of President Joe Biden of the United States might be catastrophic for the bitcoin business in the United States.
For his criticism of the administration of US President Joe Biden, Hoskinson did not pull any punches. The absence of a Democratic primary, which he feels would have shown Biden’s deteriorating performance, was the source of his dissatisfaction, which he expressed on social networking site X. In addition to highlighting the necessity of true alternatives in leadership, he questioned the reasons why the people continues to tolerate the existing arrangement.

The SEC ‘Regulation By Enforcement’ Approach
An essential component of Hoskinson’s criticism is the approach taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is known as “regulation by enforcement.” This strategy, he contends, has resulted in significant employment losses and has hampered a sector that is worth a trillion dollars globally. According to Hoskinson, the government of Biden is making a concerted effort to “kill the American cryptocurrency industry.” He portrayed the approaching election as a pivotal moment that would determine the destiny of the sector.
To illustrate his point, Hoskinson compared the regulatory climate in the United States to that of nations such as Singapore and Switzerland, which have enthusiastically welcomed bitcoin. These countries have seen tremendous economic development and investment as a direct result of the favourable policies that they have implemented. If the regulatory environment had been more favourable, he argued that a great number of businesses that are currently functioning in other countries would have opted to establish their headquarters in the United States.
Voices From The Crypto Industry Join In
Concerns raised by Hoskinson are shared by an assortment of other influential players in the bitcoin field. The Winklevoss twins and Ryan Selkis, CEO of Messari, share their discontent with the regulatory climate that exists at the point in time. By transforming the crypto lobby into a potent political force, these business executives have made it possible for them to directly influence policy.
Dear @GaryGensler:
I just wanted to share the below video with you because I say the same things in private and in public, on twitter and on video, and I will continue saying these things to increasingly powerful people until you are out at SEC. https://t.co/0CnU5TPO2Z

Voters Face Long-Term Economic Decisions
Depending on the outcome of the 2018 elections, the bitcoin industry in the United States may see a turning point. The influence that voters’ decisions will have on the nation’s economic and technical direction in the long run is something that they are being encouraged to consider. The discussion over the regulation of cryptocurrencies is going to play a big part in the political discourse on account of the fact that Hoskinson and other business executives are amplifying their voices.
