Tyler Winklevoss claimed that anyone who disagreed that Donald Trump was the pro-crypto choice for U.S. President was “delusional.”

The pledge of $1 million in Bitcoin each from Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss toward the reelection of former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred significant debate and discussion. The Winklevoss twins justified their decision by emphasizing Trump's perceived support for Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and business interests, contrasting it with what they see as President Joe Biden's hostile stance toward the crypto industry during his tenure.

Tyler Winklevoss specifically criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement actions against crypto firms under the Biden administration, as well as the perceived "weaponization" of the banking system against crypto companies. The brothers' endorsement of Trump as the "pro-Bitcoin" and "pro-crypto" choice reflects their belief that supporting him sends a message to Washington about the importance of crypto-friendly policies.

However, the announcement also raised questions and criticisms. Some pointed out Trump's legal troubles, including his recent conviction on felony counts, which could complicate his potential candidacy for the presidency again. Others questioned Trump's sincerity regarding crypto, citing his previous statements calling Bitcoin a scam. Additionally, the timing of the announcement, just before Trump's sentencing hearing in July, raised eyebrows regarding its potential political implications.

Despite the controversy, the Winklevoss twins' endorsement and financial support for Trump underscore the growing intersection between cryptocurrency and politics. With both Trump and Biden reportedly considering accepting cryptocurrency donations for their reelection campaigns, the crypto community's influence on political discourse and decision-making is becoming increasingly apparent.
