해리스도 비트코인 컨퍼런스에 간다? 암호화폐, 정치인들의 필수과목이 되다

Bitcoin doesn鈥檛 need politicians, but politicians need Bitcoin.

With U.S. President Biden announcing that he will not run for reelection, Vice President Kamala Harris has become the most powerful contender for the Democratic nomination. Although we previously learned that Harris was not familiar with cryptocurrency, recent movements show that she seems to be learning this field quickly.

Encryption has become a compulsory course for politicians

Prior to today, Harris only involvement with cryptocurrency was hiring the former chief technology officer of the worlds first sports team to accept Bitcoin as her director of scheduling and advancement. Financial disclosures also show that Harris and her husband have never been involved in the cryptocurrency field, preferring to invest in government bonds and emerging markets.

Yet, less than 48 hours after announcing her candidacy for president, Harris had already begun learning encryption.

According to Decrypt, Harris advisory team has begun consulting Bitcoin enthusiast and billionaire Mark Cuban on cryptocurrency policy.

Cuban said Harris team asked him several questions about cryptocurrencies, indicating their strong interest in the field.

Cuban also mentioned that although Harris has not publicly expressed her views on cryptocurrency, as a former San Francisco politician, she is considered to be closer to the interests of Silicon Valley and the technology industry than Biden.

In fact, before Harris team consulted Cuban, the cryptocurrency lobbying group Chamber for Digital Commerce sent a letter urging Harris to embrace cryptocurrency and suggested that she choose a running mate who strongly supports cryptocurrency.

The lobbying group stated: The public perception that the Democratic Party holds a negative view on digital assets is largely due to the Biden/Harris administrations cautious or even hostile attitude towards these transformative technologies. Your presidential campaign provides an opportunity to change this perception. This seems to have worked for Harris team.

As the cryptocurrency lobby heats up, it may make sense for Harris to publicly support Bitcoin. After all, the crypto industry has invested millions of dollars to influence Washington politics, and Congress has passed a series of pro-crypto policies.

Bitcoin Conference may be the first battleground between Trump and Harris

We all know that Trump will be giving a speech at an upcoming Bitcoin conference in order to continue his supportive stance on cryptocurrencies.

Currently, there are reports that Harris will also speak at the Bitcoin conference . As of now, BlockBeats has not confirmed whether Kamala Harris will speak at the conference, but this possibility is not impossible.

After all, Bitcoin Magazine and Bitcoin Conference CEO David Bailey did say on his social platform that he was in talks with the Harris campaign to have her speak at the conference. It would be very smart if she could reposition the Democratic Party among the fastest growing voter group in the country. They are making up their minds today.

This also means that the Bitcoin Conference may become the first battlefield for Harris to face off against Trump after confirming her presidential run. And Bitcoin will be the main focus of these two fierce competitors.

Harris also eyes encrypted votes

Today, cryptocurrency is no longer a niche topic, and it is increasingly influencing American politics. Both independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy and Republican candidate Donald Trump have publicly supported Bitcoin, forcing the Democratic Party to take action.

Democrats face two choices: continue to oppose Bitcoin, or change course and support Bitcoin as a symbol of freedom.

On the Democratic side, with Bidens withdrawal, Harris nomination probability on the cryptocurrency prediction market Polymarket once soared to 82%. But it does not rule out other potential candidates who will become dark horses.

More importantly, Obama, the most influential politician in the Democratic Party and a former president of the United States, did not publicly express his support for Harris to succeed Biden. In addition to Obama, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Pelosi did not immediately express support for Harris. Last week, U.S. media reported that both of them were in favor of an open process to select a candidate to succeed Biden.

From Harriss perspective, there is the strong opposition of pro-crypto Republican candidate Trump externally; internally, the Democratic Party also has plenty of time to select another presidential candidate.

Harris, who loves to smile in front of the public and the camera, is actually facing multiple pressures from both inside and outside, and she and her team must make a choice quickly. It would be a wise strategy if Harris could reposition the Democratic Party in the crypto space, the fastest growing voter group in the country.

물론, 그녀도 바이든과 동일한 정책을 추진하고 암호화폐에 대해 냉정한 입장을 취할 수 있습니다.

1. 프로젝트 배경 및 소개 가장 큰 암호화폐인 비트코인은 계속해서 채택과 인지도를 얻고 있습니다. 그러나 비트코인의 성공은 특히 확장성 측면에서 몇 가지 한계와 과제를 드러냈습니다. 예를 들어, Segwit 업그레이드 이후 비트코인 블록체인은 블록 크기를 4MB로 제한하여 주어진 시간 내에 처리할 수 있는 거래 수를 제한했습니다. 네트워크가 커짐에 따라 이러한 제한으로 인해 확인 시간이 길어지고 거래 수수료가 높아져 비트코인은 대량의 거래량을 처리할 때 효율성이 떨어집니다. 다른 블록체인과 비교할 때 비트코인 스크립팅 언어는 현재 가치 전송 외에도 복잡한 스마트 계약을 개발하는 데 필요한 유연성과 표현력이 부족합니다. 이러한 한계를 해결하기 위해 결제 채널, 사이드체인 등과 같은 다양한 레이어 2(L2) 솔루션이 제안되었습니다.
