During an interview onstage at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Wiley Nickel<\/strong>, a moderate Democrat serving his first term as the representative for North Carolina’s 13th Congressional district, said he and other party members have written a letter to party leaders calling for more pro-crypto language on the platform.<\/p>\n

“This is a letter with 28 Democratic electeds, including 14 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including Ro (Khanna, D-CA), asking for four things from the DNC and the next democratic nominee for President: [pro-digital asset] language in the party’s platform, selecting a Vice Presidential candidate sophisticated in digital asset policy, selecting a pro-innovation SEC chair, and engaging with the industry in a meaningful way,”<\/em> Nickel <\/strong>said.<\/p>\n

Mostly on the stage advocating a bipartisan approach to crypto issues, Nickel<\/strong> spent much of his time with moderator Jason Maier, author of A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin, likely hoping to win votes from crypto owners who see the Republican party’s platform as more pro-crypto, especially following Donald Trump’s choice of Senator JD Vance as his running mate.<\/p>\n

“We have been working hard behind the scenes, attending senior-level meetings with individuals in the Office of the Vice President, with the campaign, to provide a reset. Vice President Harris is aware of this; her husband is someone I know who also gets it; and I believe we will witness a reset, which will be quite significant in this regard<\/em>,” Nickel<\/strong> said. “If we politicize the issue, we will just poison the well for ten years in Congress; the future has to be a bipartisan one.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Regarding Trump personally, Nickel<\/strong> had made critical remarks about his earlier anti-Bitcoin posture.<\/p>\n

“He covers all the negative talking points. In 2021, he termed it a swindle, saying [cryptocurrency] enables criminal operations such as drugs and narcotics,<\/em>” Nickel<\/strong> remarked, to progressively loud booing from the audience. “Folks, I can tell you one thing, and I want to say this as politely and respectfully as I can: Donald Trump was President for four years; he did nothing on this issue, and right now I can tell you he’s totally full of s–t,”<\/em> Nickel<\/strong> stated.<\/p>\n

Maier answered, “That’s quite brave of you<\/em>,” to the audience’s laughter. Maier said, to a more positive audience response, “Donald Trump, like every other politician, is allowed to change his mind on this, and you all need to remember exactly what’s happening.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
