Bitcoin Foundation President running for President of the United States
In addition to Brock Pierce, rapper Kanye West launched his candidacy in the last week. However, Biden seems to be the most real alternative to face Trump.
Brock Pierce , the president of the Bitcoin Foundation , announced via Twitter that he will run for president of the United States . Pierce, who is also the co-founder of EOS Alliance, Block.one, Blockchain Capital, Tether, and Mastercoin (first ICO), did not confirm whether it will launch independently or seek a party nomination .
"I, Brock Pierce, am running for President of the United States of America," Pierce shot on Twitter.
Pierce was born and raised in Minnesota and started his acting career as a child. From a very young age he works in the business world, particularly in technology and innovation. The crypto benchmark campaign will be based on support for small businesses and technological innovation . "From supporting mental health initiatives to supporting grassroots efforts to protect the environment," says his presentation document.
"Entrepreneurs are essential to rebuilding this nation we love, and I am running in this race because I know that together we can help build a path to the rebirth of America that we love so much."
Another news that has rocked social networks in the last week was also the candidacy of Kanye West for the presidency . Despite the crypto community's enthusiasm for the rapper's favorable stance on bitcoin, some journalists have suggested the possibility that it is just a marketing strategy to promote his new album "God´s Country".
However, the most viable option to glimpse an encouraging picture for the ecosystem, is the candidacy of Joe Biden . Part of the financing behind the former vice president's campaign is digital assets, so more “crypto positive” policies are expected if he wins in the electoral contest on November 3.
For now, the current president Donald Trump continues to be reluctant towards cryptocurrencies , although it remains to be seen whether he will adopt a more flexible stance to seduce the market ahead of the elections.
