Trump's candidacy and victory sparked the latest crypto bull run and many now associate it with the worst excesses of MAGA and Elon's D.O.G.E trolling. For your left-leaning relatives, seeing crypto championed so hard by the new Republican administration will do little to help your case. If your true-blue cousin won't buy Bitcoin because of its red-and-orange connections, switch to the facts instead.
Point out that Bitcoin is a currency that can be used by people of all creeds, making it inherently non-political and a movement that can unite us all. Reference Jason Maier's book, "A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin," which unpacks many misconceptions about Bitcoin and underscores its origins as a protest against too-big-to-fail banks, its ability to help poor and marginalized communities, and its potential to create a sustainable environment. While policies may drive price action, crypto itself should never be a partisan issue.
