Kamala Harris has just announced her grand plan: if she becomes the next President of the United States, it’s going to be all about AI, robots, and digital money. That’s right, folks! Harris wants to usher in a future where robots help with your homework, your investments are digital, and you might never need to carry a wallet again (unless you still like collecting those royalty cards).
At a fancy Wall Street event—because where else would you talk about money?— Kamala decided it was time to throw her hat into the crypto ring. And, spoiler alert: it’s a big deal.
“We’re going to invest in America’s future, tech it up, and make sure that while robots and crypto are out there doing their thing, your hard-earned money stays safe,” Harris said. She wants to turn America into one giant sci-fi movie, minus the scary stuff, and add a touch of regulation so no one accidentally buys a rocket with their Bitcoin.

Up until now, Kamala Harris has been pretty quiet about Bitcoin and crypto. Some say she was waiting for the perfect time. Others? Maybe she just needed a little more time to figure out what an NFT even is (honestly, same). But now, with the 2024 presidential election just around the corner, it looks like she’s ready to take the crypto bull by the horns. Or whatever crypto has instead of horns. Code? Blockchain?
Behind the scenes, her campaign has been getting cosy with the crypto crowd, whispering sweet nothings like, “Regulations won’t kill innovation, promise!” And now, in public, she’s saying it loud and proud. Some even think she’s going to be the one to finally make crypto mainstream. Yep, you heard that right – Kamala will make sure your grandma understands Bitcoin.

Harris isn’t just about crypto, though. Nope, she’s also got her sights set on AI (because robots are cool, right?). Plus, she wants to make the business world a little less like navigating the “terms and conditions” screen on your iPhone. Less red tape, more shiny futuristic stuff! Harris wants a world where the government isn’t just another annoying pop-up window saying, “Are you sure you want to do that?”
Her latest speech had some big tech names nodding in approval. Hayden Adams from Uniswap Labs (aka a big deal in the crypto world) said her words were like a warm hug for the tech community. And Anthony Scaramucci even joked, “Kamala means 1 bitcoin in every language!” We’re not exactly sure what that means, but it sounds awesome.

Now, things are getting spicy because Donald Trump is also super into crypto. (Imagine a world where our two main political candidates are both arguing about who loves Bitcoin more. Wild, right?) Trump’s been cozy with the crypto crowd for a while now, but with Kamala jumping into the mix, it’s looking like we’re going to see some serious digital duelling.
Plus, the polls are starting to show Kamala pulling ahead in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. She’s got a 66% advantage in Michigan, which means we might get a president who not only knows how to pronounce "blockchain" but wants to see it thrive.

Well, Harris hasn’t dropped her full game plan yet, but we can expect to see her playing it cool with crypto and AI. She’s all about helping digital assets grow without turning America into the next episode of Black Mirror.
Whether you’re someone who thinks Bitcoin is magic internet money or someone who just wants to see robots do your laundry, Kamala Harris’ tech-forward approach is definitely something to watch. At the very least, it’ll make the 2024 presidential election feel a bit more like a plot from The Jetsons than The West Wing.
