Trump Leads DeSantis in Poll Among Republican Voters, Despite DeSantis' Pro-Bitcoin Stance

Former President Donald Trump is leading pro-bitcoin candidate Ron DeSantis among Republican and Republican leaning voters, according to a Quinnipiac National Poll. DeSantis received 47 percent and Biden received 46 percent among all registered voters when matched against the current President. Trump remains the top declared or potential candidate with 56 percent support among Republicans in the 2024 primary race, followed by DeSantis with 25 percent. DeSantis discussed his views on crypto during a Twitter space with Elon Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks, announcing his Presidential candidate bid. Trump's views on cryptocurrencies have been unclear, as he previously stated that he is not a fan of them but later launched his own NFT collections raising millions of dollars.

Socket - First Chain Abstraction Protocol

Over the last few years, the Ethereum ecosystem has made tremendous strides in advancing the modular roadmap, a strategic plan aimed at enhancing scalability and efficiency through specialization and layering within the blockchain network. This has led to the development of an increasing number of chains, each specialized for distinct use cases. The cost of spinning up a new rollup has decreased significantly, blobs and data availability have made settling transactions even cheaper, and we now have L3s on top of L2s. It’s only a matter of time before we get to a world of 10,000 rollups and chains.

Left Curve

Some of you think you are masters of the universe right now because you bought Solana sub $10 and sold it at $200. Others did the smart thing and sold fiat for crypto during the 2021 to 2023 bear market but lightened up as prices surged in the first quarter of this year. If you sold shitcoins for Bitcoin, you get a pass. Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created. If you sold shitcoins for fiat that you don’t immediately need for living expenses, you are fucking up. Fiat will continue to be printed ad infinitum until the system resets.
