Ripple co-founder donates $1 million worth of XRP.

[Primo1760]

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen just donated $1 million worth of $XRP to support Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Back in August, he also kicked in $1 million worth of #XRP. Is this the right call for #Ripple? Feel free to share your thoughts!

i personally think crypto should be void of politics especially one in the us

not sure about chris larsen's purpose here to be honest does he genuinely wants kamala harris to win? does he think doing this would benefit xrp? i mean he could easily donate without using xrp but using xrp now associates the coin to kamala harris if harris wins it can be good for xrp tho i do not think it will experience such a crash if she doesnt win

its chris larsen who endorsed harris not harris endorsing xrp so unlike trump and bitcoin, maybe the election results won't affect xrp that much

The enormous value of Chris Larsen donating 1 million USD in Ripple and amazingly Ripple did not go down in price, if logically if the donation coin was sold on the market it should go down but this is actually stable Ripple coin and maybe there is also an increase in price because Bitcoin is also currently green. Apart from Kamala Harris' problematic campaign about crypto, I admit that Chris Larsen is really very generous.

What a difference in reactions!
Trump gets donations from Ripple, yes, that's because Trump is better for Crypto, Harris gets 1 million in ripple, eh, something is fishy, pikachu faces, what is this, crypto should not be involved in politics, this is a bribe, lol!

We all see Trump as a strong and clear crypto supporter, while Harris has not really taken many actions to show her friendliness to this market. So if Trump wins, the crypto market will grow and Ripple will also benefit from this win.

On the contrary, if Harris wins, at least Ripple will have her support because Ripple has donated a lot of money to her campaign. I think this is a wise and most beneficial plan for Ripple and XRP future.

Is Donald Trump really a crypto supporter? I don't believe that Donald Trump is pro-cryptocurrency because Bitcoin hasn't done very well during his administration. However, if Donald Trump is elected, I am not making any predictions about whether the cryptocurrency market will go up or down. Cryptocurrency is and will continue to move at its own pace. But as a supporter I support Donald Trump I hope Donald Trump wins this election and if Donald Trump is really a supporter of cryptocurrencies, surely the cryptocurrency market will rise with his victory, but for Ripple, if not now, some bad news may come. Let's see who wins the US presidential election.

I feel that Donald Trump is just looking for votes from the crypto community because he is in a position in the US Presidential election which starts today, Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
If it is true that Donald Trump supports crypto, then just wait and see after Donald Trump is elected President, will he still support crypto or vice versa, ban crypto?

I would be more grateful if Donald Trump fully supports crypto even after being elected President in the US and for Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, why not donate his 1 million dollars in Ripple to Donald Trump? Or maybe it would be better to divide it in two like this:
1. 500,000 dollars for Kamala Harris
2. 500,000 dollars for Donald Trump

I think that's a fair division but it still goes back to Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen because he has the funds.

Let's not forget what Trump has said before about crypto:

Donald Trump calls Bitcoin 'a scam against the dollar'

He wants our votes, what happens after (if) he gets ellected? I personally don't believe that he'll be the pro-crypto candidate that some people think he is. Maybe he won't make our lifes harder, but I definitely can't see him as a bitcoiner.

Even after winning, without a majority in the Senate and House of Representatives and a genuine desire to support Bitcoin, nothing will change. The real change will be for more ETFs and institutional investors to join, as these have the power to influence politics more than the president.

I expected to hear a lot of people calling Donald Trump a pro-crypto ,crypto holder but I don't believe them at all because Bitcoin hasn't been doing very well during his reign. I can't say how Donald Trump will feel about Bitcoin if he is elected president again. But I always hope that Donald Trump will develop crypto love in his mind and take crypto to a better place. But as a president he is a perfect person.

Well, BTC just reached all-time high because people are expecting Trump to win as the results are being counted.

For sure Trump >>> Harris when we are talking crypto, all I'm saying is that he is not satoshi himself, but a politician who wants as many votes as possible, and the crypto market is not an unimportant hidden piece anymore.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have different views on cryptocurrency as they run for US president. Trump once unsure now supports crypto and wants US to be top crypto nation accepting Bitcoin donations and selling digital trading cards. Harris has not taken clear stance but supports innovative technologies. Crypto companies have invested over $119 million to influence elections backing pro crypto candidates. As election progresses it is essential to watch how their views impact crypto regulations.

Is this news true?
What company is able to spend 119 million dollars for a crypto campaign?
119 million dollars is not a small amount of funds because that value can be equated with thousands of Bitcoins which could be sold on the market will cause the price of Bitcoin to fall.
If you would like to provide more information about the crypto company that funded the US President's campaign worth 119 million dollars so that we can have an intense discussion in this thread.
