Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin on Wednesday cautioned against voting for political candidates based solely on whether they have adopted a "pro-crypto" stance.
The best example of this is, predictably, modern Russia," added Buterin, a Russia-born coder who built ethereum in his late teens.
Buterin did not single out any names in his post of either political candidates, or of those opting to support them.
It comes in stark contrast to the Joe Biden White House, which has been seen as hard on crypto.
However, the perception that Biden is anti-crypto and Trump is pro-crypto has some Biden allies concerned enough to take their case directly to senior White House officials.
