Hunter Biden Talks Crypto on Social Media
Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, famous for the laptop scandal and his now-overcome addiction to narcotics, has given a nod to the crypto industry that exploded on social media.
After a post issuing a not-so-veiled critique of the direction of President Donald Trump’s Administration, Biden asked Gmoney, a General Partner for Delphi INFINFT, if he would help get the crypto vote in a hypothetical upcoming presidential campaign, stressing that he would battle anti-crypto democrats led by Senator Elizabeth Warren using Hyperliquid.
The interaction went viral, reaching over 1.56 million views, and ignited interest in crypto X about what Biden had to say about the industry.
“Fiat is a sham, the banking class is corrupt, decentralized digital currency and the blockchain are the inevitable future, and the incumbents will fight it to the death,” Biden stressed when asked about his thoughts on the fiat financial system, seemingly opposing his father’s actions against the crypto industry.
Later, Biden revealed that he was a fan of Mike Winkelmann’s art, also known as Beeple for his crypto-adjacent social media posts.
“When I decided to sell my art I wanted every piece on the blockchain and to accept bitcoin as payment. ‘The Internet of Money’ by Andreas Antonopoulos really opened my eyes,” Biden disclosed.
The crypto banter continued. While answering a question on the first thing he would do regarding crypto if he became president, Biden dismissed a possible presidential bid, saying that it was “not something” he thinks about.
Even so, he called politicians across the aisle to “truly understand the value and potential utility of cryptocurrency rather than just use it as a pet political issue for power or abuse it for financial gain,” criticizing the current state of affairs regarding crypto and the government.
