Crypto Industry ‘Will Show No Mercy’ in November Says Winklevoss After Harris Snubs Bitcoin Event
Following the announcement that U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris won’t attend the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss said the crypto industry will “show no mercy in November.”
Gemini’s Winklevoss Criticizes Harris Over Bitcoin 2024 Conference Decision
Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss reacted to the news of Kamala Harris’s decision not to participate in the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and the event organizer, revealed that a major Democratic donor informed him Harris privately said, “Bitcoin is money for criminals.” Winklevoss took to X to criticize Harris’s choice to skip the event.
“The Biden-Harris Administration wages all-out war on the crypto industry for 4 years. Despite all of this, Kamala is still invited to the [Bitcoin 2024 conference] in Nashville and given a chance to speak to our industry and reset the relationship. What does she do? She declines,” Winklevoss wrote.
The Gemini co-founder added:
She can’t even take the first step and show up to start mending fences. Our industry won’t forget this. We will show no mercy in November.
Winklevoss’s statement follows his and his brother Cameron’s donation of $1 million in bitcoin (BTC) each to former President Donald Trump. At the time, Winklevoss said the Biden administration “weaponized multiple government agencies to bully, harass, and sue the good actors in our industry in an effort to destroy it.”
Ever since Trump embraced a pro-crypto stance, numerous crypto enthusiasts have rallied behind his campaign. Kraken founder Jesse Powell also contributed $1 million to Trump. After his substantial campaign donation, Winklevoss insisted at the time that Trump “is the pro-Bitcoin, pro-crypto, and pro-business choice. This is not even remotely open for debate. Anyone who tells you otherwise is severely misinformed, delusional, or not telling the truth. It’s time to take our country back.”
