- The American entrepreneur’s “The Three Freedoms of Crypto” comes in support of blockchain developers.

Vivek Ramaswamy, en amerikansk entreprenör och presidentkandidat för valet i USA 2024, har kritiserat Joe Biden-administrationens behandling av kryptomixers. Den republikanska kandidaten är en stor anhängare av Bitcoin och andra digitala tillgångar och presenterade ett ramverk för kryptopolitik den 16 november vid North American Blockchain Summit (NABS) i Fort Worth, Texas.
Den nya policyn, betitlad “The Three Freedoms of Crypto,” states that the developers of the smart contract code should not be punished for the crimes committed by those who use the smart contract code. Vivek Ramaswamy added that cryptocurrency mixers are protected by the US Constitution’s First Amendment.
“I believe that code is a form of speech and is protected by the First Amendment. So, when you take an example, like the case brought against the Tornado Cash folks, for example, put aside the specifics of whether what was done is right or wrong. You can’t go after the developers of code. What you actually need to implement is going after individual bad actors that are breaking the laws that already exist on the books,” he said.
Vivek Ramaswamy promised to “direct government prosecutors to prosecute bad actors, not the code they use and not the developers who write that code,” while adding that if he becomes the president of the US, he will provide regulatory clarity by giving new digital assets “safe harbor” exemptions from the securities laws for a period of time after their debut and to prevent any federal agency from creating rules that limit the use of self-hosted wallets.
The Republican also criticized the recent sanctions against crypto mixer Tornado Cash noting, “the case brought against the Tornado Cash folks, for example. […] You can’t go after the developers of code.” It is crucial to note that US prosecutors arresterade medgrundarna av Tornado Cash, Roman Storm och Roman Semenov i augusti. De två åtalades för att ha brutit mot sanktioner och för att tvätta hundratals miljoner dollar för Lazarus Group, en nordkoreansk hackergrupp.
Som tidigare rapporterats av Bitnation, berömde Elon Musk, grundare och VD för Tesla och SpaceX, Vivek Ramaswamy och tillade, “He is a very promising candidate.”
