Crypto’s Getting Political (Booo!) but Coinbase and MoonPay Are Working to Balance the Scales

TL;DR
Full Story
MoonPay simply threw $1M into the Coinbase-initiated “Stand With Crypto” marketing campaign.
(Which goals to again bipartisan, crypto-friendly politicians in Congress to assist garner clearer crypto regulation within the US).
Which we’re all for!
…trigger truthfully, the truth that crypto is by some means a partisan problem? That feels bizarre.
And we all know what you’re considering:
“After all you’d say that — you’re crypto folks. It’s in your curiosity for it to have bipartisan help.”
Which is true!
However right here’s our idea on why making crypto a partisan problem is an enormous misstep:
We’ve met/seen/heard of a whooole bunch of individuals which are deeply apathetic to crypto, however only a few which are straight anti-crypto.
The truth is, most of them aren’t essentially anti-crypto, as a lot as they’re anti “having to pay attention to a different lecture on the byzantine common’s drawback, and the significance of arduous currencies.”
And we get it! It’s boring as heck to take heed to when you’re not into it.
(We’ve had relations set clear ‘no crypto discuss on the dinner desk’ guidelines).
However going anti-crypto looks like a shedding technique, within the sense that there’re only a few folks within the US which are anti-crypto single problem voters.
(Whereas there’re a complete bunch of pro-crypto single problem voters).
So one other $1M in direction of a marketing campaign that goals to deliver some steadiness to the difficulty?
Bravo MoonPay, bravo.
