Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has taken a firm stand against Vitalik Buterin’s recent stance on political alignment and cryptocurrency. In a bold move, Hoskinson urged voters to back candidates who prioritize pro-crypto policies. This call to action came in a post on X, where he stressed the importance of preventing government overreach in the crypto industry.
Vitalik Buterin, known for his work on Ethereum, had earlier published an article cautioning against supporting politicians solely for their pro-crypto views. Buterin’s argument was rooted in the cypherpunk philosophy, which values broader liberties and decentralization. He warned that focusing only on financial freedom could overshadow other critical freedoms, such as communication privacy and digital identity.
Buterin’s perspective reflects a deep-seated belief in the foundational principles of the crypto movement. He argued that the cypherpunk movement aimed to create open technology to safeguard individual freedoms. Overemphasis on pro-crypto stances, he noted, could align the community with politicians whose broader values might conflict with those of the crypto community.
In contrast, Cardano founder believes that political support should hinge on candidates’ stances on cryptocurrency. He argued that anti-crypto policies must have consequences, including potential election defeats. In his view, politicians must understand the impact of their actions on the crypto industry. A vote for Biden, Cardano founder, Hoskinson, warned, could spell the end of the American crypto industry. He urged voters to prioritize candidates who support the industry.

The clash between these two crypto leaders has sparked a wider debate within the community. Some commenters on Hoskinson’s post labeled his viewpoint as a “massive oversimplification.” They noted that politicians aren’t elected based solely on their crypto policies.
Hoskinson responded by emphasizing the need to attach consequences to political positions. He believes that reducing the issue to a single point could force politicians to moderate their stance and avoid harming the industry.
On July 1, Hoskinson urged U.S. voters to prioritize crypto in upcoming elections, criticizing President Biden’s policies. He highlighted the importance of blockchain technology in shaping America’s future and criticized the media’s reaction to Biden’s performance and the lack of a Democratic primary. In Hoskinson’s view, the administration’s actions are detrimental to the crypto sector.
