Hey Amy, I heard something about Kamala Harris and crypto. What's going on?
Oh, it's pretty interesting! Kamala Harris is running for president, and people are wondering what she thinks about cryptocurrency.
I thought Joe Biden was the president. Did I miss something?
Good catch! Biden decided not to run again, so Harris is now the Democratic nominee. The election is coming up in November.
Oh, I see. So why are people talking about Harris and crypto?
Well, cryptocurrency is becoming a big issue in politics. Some people think it's really important for the future of money and technology.
But what does Harris think about it?
That's the thing – we don't really know yet! She hasn't said much about crypto. Some Democrats want her to come up with a clear plan for it.
Why is it so important for her to have a plan?
Good question! Some people think that having a good crypto policy could help the economy and keep the US as a leader in technology. Plus, it might help her get votes from people who care about crypto.
I get it. So what are other politicians saying about crypto?
Well, Donald Trump, who's running against Harris, has said he supports crypto. Some Democrats are worried that if Harris doesn't say anything, people might think their party is against crypto.
Wow, I didn't know crypto was such a big deal in politics!
It's becoming more important. Some Democrats are even organizing events to talk about crypto and try to get Harris to pay attention to it.
That's cool! Do you think Harris will come up with a crypto plan soon?
It's hard to say. Her team is talking to crypto experts, but they're also busy with lots of other campaign issues. We might have to wait and see what happens in the debates.
Debates? Like on TV?
Exactly! Harris and Trump are scheduled to debate on TV in September. That might be when we hear more about their ideas on crypto and other important topics.
Thanks, Amy! I'll definitely be watching those debates now. It's exciting to see how new technology like crypto is changing politics!
