Vitalik Buterin: Against making political voting choices based on whether or not you support crypto

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote that he opposes making political voting choices based on "whether to support encryption." Supporting a politician should be because of their entire platform and views, not just because they support cryptocurrency. Vitalik wrote in the article that the cryptocurrency field is increasingly active in politics, and supports political parties and candidates almost entirely based on whether they are willing to be tolerant and friendly to cryptocurrencies. But decisions made in this way are likely to go against the values ​​that originally brought you into the crypto field. In the crypto field, people tend to focus too much on the centrality of money and the freedom to hold and spend money (which can also be tokens). Bitcoin is seen as an extension of the spirit of libertarianism in the field of Internet payments. Vitalik believes that freedom is important, and decentralized networks are good at protecting freedom. Money is an important area where such networks can be applied-but it is only one of several important areas. And being friendly to cryptocurrencies now does not mean that it will still be friendly to cryptocurrencies in five years.
