Crypto Comedy: Former Harris Aide Joins Coinbase Council! 😂💰
Well, folks, hold onto your wallets! David Plouffe, the man who once whispered sweet nothings into Kamala Harris’ ear during her 2024 presidential campaign, is now strutting his stuff on Coinbase’s Global Advisory Council! 🎉
In a thrilling announcement on a Thursday (because who doesn’t love a good Thursday?), Coinbase revealed that Plouffe will be joining a star-studded cast of former lawmakers and industry bigwigs. They’re all there to help the exchange navigate the wild world of crypto policies—because, you know, it’s not like they have enough on their plates already! 🍽️
“Listen up, folks! If you’re holding crypto or stablecoin, that might not be the most important issue when it comes to voting,” Plouffe declared at Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit. I mean, who knew? Maybe they just want to vote for the guy with the best hair! 💇♂️
“If you’re a politician running for office, you need to charm those crypto enthusiasts who are still on the fence. Crypto might be the gateway drug, but then you can hit them with your economic plans! Boom!”
Plouffe’s new gig could mean Coinbase is ready to play the political game in the US. CEO Brian Armstrong has been cozying up to the Trump administration like it’s a warm blanket on a cold night, supporting the GENIUS stablecoin bill and even having a one-on-one with the big guy himself! 🛋️
Nonpartisan approach to crypto policies? Or just a party? 🎊
And let’s not forget, Trump’s co-campaign manager for 2024, Chris LaCivita, joined the Coinbase council back in January. It’s like a reunion of political has-beens! The council has also welcomed former Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Pat Toomey. What a lineup! 🎤
Trump even made a cameo at the Thursday Coinbase event, delivering a pre-recorded message about his future crypto policies. Spoiler alert: he’s all in for the GENIUS Act and a digital asset market structure bill! But don’t hold your breath; neither the Senate nor the House has passed anything yet. They’re still waiting for the right moment to strike! ⏳
