JAKARTA - The tension between the administration of the United States and the crypto community is heating up again. This time, the spotlight was focused on the refusal of Vice President Kamala Harris to attend the Bitcoin 2024 conference. This decision drew strong criticism from one of the central figures in the crypto world, Tylerhubunganvoss.

Harris' refusal, expressed by Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey, further heats up the atmosphere. According to Bailey, a major Democratic party donor delivered a direct message from Harris calling Bitcoin a "money for criminals".

Walivoss, known as co-founder of the Gemini crypto exchange, did not remain silent. Through his social media accounts, he made scathing criticisms of the Biden-Harris administration. "Their government has waged a war on the crypto industry for years. Rejecting the invitation to attend this conference is a clear proof of their anti-crypto stance," saidVIvoss.

VIvoss' firm stance is not without reason. Previously, he and his brother, Cameron, had shown open support for former President Donald Trump by donating millions of dollars in Bitcoin for Trump's campaign. They see Trump as a more pro-crypto figure compared to the Biden administration.

Harris' refusal further strengthens the allegation of a "cold war" between the crypto community and the United States government. The crypto shop sees the Biden-Harris government as a threat to their industrial growth, while the government still seems skeptical of digital assets.

Impact On Crypto Industry

This tension certainly has an impact on the investment climate in the crypto world. Investors are becoming increasingly uncertain with the government's policies that continue to change. In addition, Harris' refusal could also trigger negative sentiment among investors and further widen the distance between regulators and industry players.

The conflict between the crypto community and the United States government is an important reminder for all of us. Clear and conducive regulations are needed by the crypto industry in order to grow sustainably. However, on the other hand, the government must also pay attention to the great potential of blockchain and crypto technology that can provide benefits to the wider community.
