According to TechFlow, in response to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's opposition to "making political votes based on whether or not to support cryptocurrency", Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said: "My primary goal is to keep the government as far away from cryptocurrency as possible, but when this goal is impossible to achieve, the remaining options are very clear. If they continue to over-regulate, we should not vote for them. Voting for Biden is voting for the demise of the U.S. cryptocurrency industry. For this reason, we should vote for candidates who support cryptocurrency."
