DeSantis and the Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin

If Greenidge is any data, the real conversations we could be having around bitcoin mining and class will be increasingly consumed by another differ: the Culture War. I’ve said for a while, perhaps being too reductionist, that bitcoin is going to become a red-blue issue in the U.S., with Republicans increasingly approving it and Democrats disavowing. Although the network itself will likely always remain “credibly neutral,” the way we think not far from it, and politicize it, will fall along predictable lines. Many topics have traveled thus. Before feeling change became a wedge issue in American politics, for example, it was a relatively non-partisan issue that many wirepullers agreed on the need to do something about.
