She is both and I think she may not admit it but she lost some money with her investment in cryptocurrency based on the current rate. And she already declared her intention to seek the presidency under the banner of the Democrats though I am doubting if she can be able to make it...she will just suffer the same fate as that of Sen. Sanders. The Democratic Party is not yet ready for someone like her with right-leaning (am I right with this term?) ideologies, convictions and policies. I am sure that 2020 election is promising to be a very exciting one as many are already planning to be the one in charge in the White House machinery to eventually kick Trump.

Ohh that's surprising! I know her since she was elected as the first Hindu member of the US congress and I remember reading a story in my local newspaper about it. But the fact that she is a crypto lover, has come to me as a surprise. But I would not generalize her as a bitcoin lover because I don't see any bitcoin holding in her asset filing, it's only ETH and LTC.

But if she gets elected as a "President" in 2020, I hope more crypto friendly legislation will be formed in US from its current stringent and confusing state. However, the way people have chosen Trump in the election due to his aggressive stance against many issues, which now lead to a national shutdown, I think people in 2020, will like a calm and positive person like Tulsi. Fingers crossed!

She won't win this time around as you're correct, she's just too much of an outsider, but maybe in another 4 years or so. In 2020 the Dems will shove another mediocre candidate down everybody's throats that nobody really likes because they insisted on not learning their lesson about Hillary and Bernie. They just decided to stick their fingers in their ears and say "But Russia Russia Russia!!" -- a tactic which wasn't amounted to a hill of beans so far. I'm honestly thinking Trump is gonna win again.

Even if she doesn't make it to the whitehouse her campaign is likely to accept bitcoins as a donation currency which is good advertising. Also she might promote it as a solution to the trillions of dollars of debt

I think she will be loyal to all the new opportunities for the development of the country. If she herself took part in investing in Bitcoin, then undoubtedly she will understand her people. Not creating bans on the development of crypto-business)) ::)

why can't she be both? if elected, she can be a BTC friendly US President.

I think she is not a bad candidate for the post, she has an easy attitude to events and life in general, so she would be loyal to many innovations as president. Especially if there was already experience - when she took part in the purchase of Bitcoin. And that means - as a ruler, she will not be against him.

Great news! If Tulsi Habard wins the presidential elections in the United States, maybe then new benchmarks for Bitcoin will appear and confidence will come to investors.

I think she is both, in other words, she could be a BTC friendly President.

Tulsi Gabbard is a women of high reputation and in terms of Bitcoin, she is a good fan of Bitcoin and we hope when she succeed in her career she will embrace Bitcoin and it full potentials will surface. Though people can change when they get hold on power, so, let not be happy because she's a human, change is the only constant thing on the planet. 

Ok, so what are the chances of 2 presidential US candidates who is friendly to bitcoin?

So just imagine having a US President who is friendly to crypto, I'm sure that crypto will take off.  ;D

Anyways, We don't know what the future holds, there might be a new US President in 2020, not name Gabbard or McAfee, however, I still think that crypto will continue to flow no matter who sits on the  US Presidency.

Hahaha, who on earth will cast their votes for John McAfee? We all know who McAfee is and what he does, his lifestyle and health Wise. He cannot be the US President not even until 3030  ;D. On a real note we need a President with Bitcoin at heart and not the one who will seek it downfall.

He even said that he's just going to run to give exposure for bitcoin. I've read somewhere that someone said here in the forum that John is just enjoying his life so that doesn't really matter to him if someone will vote for him or not.

Hmmm.. Tulsi Gabbard, I can't remember if someone predicted that there will be a president with that surname or I'm watching too much conspiracies on youtube. I'm glad to say that she may be both.

I think its only bcoz its trending topic and youths want btc to go up, thus she choses this topic and showed favoritism. As even after she is elected in house, she isnt alone to pass legislations. Neither she would be that desperate to pass law favoring crypto.

She is a good ambassador for bitcoin and if she becomes a presidential candidate then it will be even better. The mainstream adoption will happen quicker under her rule

Is she right-leaning, though? She offers a policy of non-intervention of the US in foreign policy except in critical cases. She currently also supports same-sex marriage and abortion. Sounds like a set of typical left-liberal values to me. She was not always like this, though. She used to oppose same-sex marriage and abortion, so one could say that her roots are conservative, but she seems to have changed.
As for cryptos, however, I think that the enthusiasm should be lowered down. She only declared purchases of litecoin and ethereum, and these purchases happened during the ATH, so she might as well hate cryptos now. It should also be noted that she never expressed her views and policies she'd like to implement regarding cryptocurrencies.

Being a young presidential candidate with hands on experience on various positions in the American government surely makes a big hands. She too has served the army for years and has received lot of awards and recently has nominated for the presidential election 2020. Her view on cryptocurrency can be known when the election campaign gets fire.

She surely has some guts in declaring her candidacy against trump, though I like her for some reasons, Although there are some issues and controversies, I think she can sure handle the candidacy very well but I really think that she will not win in the upcoming 2020 candidacy for the presidency because there are so much needed and to show to the people but I guess if people really want a change then it might be her time to be one, And regarding the views in cryptocurrency we can never know if she can help the community regarding cryptocurrency legality she may have a struggle in that side because of the recent bear market and she is upset with the result of her investment.

I will always have a soft spot for Rand Paul as he was the first candidate to really promote bitcoin.
Tulsi is a leftie with some weird views on economics and internal affairs. But I do respect her anti-war positions.

I guess she is hodler too but we don't really know because no one confirm it yet. Also the amount that she holds is still unknown, If she really can win that presidential then it is good news for all crypto investors and crypto lovers that president of US is a crypto lover.

Tulsi Gabbard is very popular here (India), partly because of her religion (she happens to be one of the few Hindus among the US politicians). And personally I like her, as she had stated earlier that she had purchased crypto in 2017. But at the same time, I won't be overjoyed or excited with her presidential bid. Although she may be pro-Bitcoin, her party (the Dems) have taken a very hostile stance towards the cryptocurrency (look at what is happening in the state of New York). My opinion is that the GOP is more pro-crypto, when compared to the Dems.

BTW, it may be better to move this thread to the Politics sub-forum.
