Veröffentlicht von • Joe Biden is likely to go down as the most anti-crypto leader in US history due to his infrastructure bill, attempts to shut out crypto firms from traditional financial services, and tax proposal on all crypto mining operations.
• Biden was initially thought of as the man that would make crypto a legitimate asset class but he has been doing the exact opposite.
• In 2021 he signed an infrastructure bill requiring crypto holders to report transactions exceeding certain amounts, caused record inflation resulting in the shakiest period for crypto, and implemented an Obama-era policy shutting out all crypto businesses from traditional financial tools and services.
Joe Biden – Most Anti-Crypto Leader in History
When Joe Biden first entered politics, he was touted as the man who would put cryptocurrency on the map. However, since his inauguration in 2021, he has done the exact opposite – turning out to be arguably one of the most anti-crypto “leaders” in U.S. history.

30 Percent Tax Proposal On All Crypto Mining Operations
The final blow came when reports emerged of a 30 percent tax proposal implemented by President Joe Biden on all cryptocurrency mining operations; which could potentially lead many miners away from their current setups or even drive them away altogether from engaging with cryptocurrencies altogether
