Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin advises against voting solely based on candidates' pro-crypto stance in a recent article.
He argues that this narrow approach may overlook the broader techno-libertarian ideals that underpin the crypto movement, emphasizing the importance of freedom, decentralized networks, and various technological freedoms beyond financial aspects.
Buterin urges voters to consider politicians’ entire platform and long-term vision for technology, politics, and the economy, cautioning that current pro-crypto stances may not remain consistent over time.
He also highlights the risks associated with supporting authoritarian regimes that use crypto selectively for geopolitical advantages while restricting domestic freedoms.
Buterin concludes by advocating for aligning political support with broader societal goals, beyond immediate crypto-related interests.
