๐๐Hold onto your hats, BTC enthusiasts! The Republican National Committee is officially pro-crypto! In their 2024 GOP Platform, they've pledged to protect Bitcoin and crypto, aligning with Donald Trump's "America First" policies. ๐ช๐บ๐ธ
The party's commitment to crypto is nestled in chapter 3 of the platform, promising to "build the greatest economy in history" by championing innovation. They've vowed to end the Democrats' "unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown" and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). ๐ซ๐ฐ
This comes hot on the heels of Congressman Tom Emmer's anti-CBDC bill, which received almost unanimous Republican backing. At the same time, the House passed legislation to create a friendly regulatory framework for crypto, again backed by all Republicans. ๐๏ธ๐
The GOP platform also promises to defend citizens' rights to mine their own Bitcoin, self-custody their crypto, and transact free of government surveillance and control. ๐ก๏ธ๐
The platform has been hailed as "insanely bullish Bitcoin and crypto" by industry insiders. And it's not just crypto โ the Republicans also pledged to protect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), a field closely aligned with several publicly traded Bitcoin miners. ๐ค๐
So, it seems the GOP is all in on crypto and innovation. Let's see how this plays out in the upcoming elections! ๐ณ๏ธ๐
