2024 U.S. Election Outcomes: A Crypto Analyst's Take on Bitcoin and Regulatory Shifts
The Regulatory Chessboard
With Polymarket odds suggesting a 78% chance of Republican Senate control, crypto investors should pay attention to confirmation hearings. As a blockchain analyst who’s witnessed three presidential cycles, I’ve learned that regulatory appointments matter more than campaign rhetoric. The Senate confirms SEC chairs—the very people deciding whether your altcoin is a security or not.
Key Data Point: Stand With Crypto Alliance grades show 39⁄49 GOP senators earned ‘A’s on crypto issues vs. just 6⁄51 Democrats. That SAB 121 repeal vote? 48 Republicans voted yes.
White House Scenarios: Deficits & Dogecoin
Trump (57% odds)
- Pros: Self-proclaimed “crypto president” pledges industry-friendly regulators and tax cuts extending 2017 policies (PWBM forecasts deficits at 7.8% GDP).
- Cons: Proposed tariffs could strengthen the dollar, pressuring risk assets.
Harris (43% odds)
- Progressive Crypto: Recently vowed to “protect” digital assets but lacks detail. Her expanded child tax credit plan would still push deficits to 6.5% GDP.
My Take: Bitcoin thrives on monetary degradation. Both candidates deliver that; only one brings predictable regulation.
The Bipartisan Wildcard
Don’t overlook voter trends: 18% of Democrats own BTC vs. 15% of Republicans (Harris Poll). Any lasting legislation needs 60 Senate votes—meaning crypto’s future hinges on cross-aisle collaboration more than any single election result.

The Great Crypto Coin Toss
As a DeFi degenerate who’s seen three presidential cycles, I can confirm: politicians love printing money almost as much as they love pretending to understand blockchain.
Red Team vs. Blue Team (But Both Love Green)
The real winner? Bitcoin - the ultimate beneficiary of bipartisan fiscal irresponsibility! Whether it’s Trump’s tariffs or Harris’ child credits, my BTC bags are ready for that sweet, sweet monetary degradation.
Pro Tip for Senators: If you want my vote, just promise to repeal SAB 121 while wearing a laser-eyed Twitter avatar.
Place your bets on Polymarket - because nothing says ‘democracy’ like gambling on political outcomes!
Senado Crypto-Friendly? Mais que o Benfica! \n\nPelos vistos, 48 republicanos já perceberam que blockchain não é só para comprar bilhetes do Sporting. Mas com défices a bater 7.8% do PIB, até o Dogecoin pode virar moeda de reserva! \n\nDica Pro: Se Harris ganhar, preparem as wallets - o crédito fiscal infantil pode ser pago em Shiba Inu. E vocês? Apostam em BTC ou nas promessas eleitorais? 🚀 #CryptoLisboa
¡Las apuestas están abiertas! 🎲
Che, ¿vieron que las criptos ya tienen su propio termómetro político? Según Polymarket, hay 78% de chances de que los republicanos controlen el Senado… ¡y eso es música para los oídos de Bitcoin! 🎵
Dato clave: 48 republicanos votaron por eliminar la SAB 121. Mientras tanto, los demócratas siguen con su “¿Es un security o no es un security?” como Hamlet criollo. 😂
Trump vs. Harris: ¿Quién es más crypto?
- Trump: Se autoproclama “presidente crypto” pero con tarifas que harían llorar hasta al Dogecoin.
- Harris: Promete “proteger” las cripto… pero con detalles más escasos que liquidez en un exchange trucho.
¡Y vos? ¿En quién confiás más para que no regulen hasta el último satoshi? 💸 #EleccionesCripto
Political Tokens: HODL or Fold?
As a blockchain quant who’s seen three election cycles, I can confirm: politicians love printing money more than your DeFi fork loves forking.
Red Team Advantage: 48 GOP senators voted to repeal SAB 121 - that’s more crypto-friendly than Vitalik at a devcon afterparty.
Blue Team’s Play: Harris wants to ‘protect’ your Dogecoin… probably in the same vault where they keep student loan forgiveness plans.
Pro tip: When deficits hit 7.8% GDP (thanks Trump!) or 6.5% (hi Kamala!), just remember - Bitcoin was literally invented for this circus.
Who’s your money on? The ‘crypto president’ or the ‘regulator-in-chief’? Place bets below!
Políticos vs. Satoshis
¿Qué da más miedo? ¿Que Trump declare el Dogecoin moneda nacional o que Kamara intente regular los memecoins con impuestos infantiles? 😂 Según los datos, los republicanos son más ‘pro-crypto’… pero al final todos imprimen billetes como locos.
El Juego de Tronos del SEC
Con un 78% de probabilidad de Senado republicano, al menos sabremos rápido qué altcoins son ‘securities’. ¡Menos burocracia y más lambos! (O eso esperamos)
Dato clave: 48 republicanos votaron a favor de desregular… mientras el BTC sube como cohete en ambos escenarios. Ironías de la vida.
¿Vosotros confiáis más en políticos o en proof-of-work? 👀 #BitcoinSiempreGana
Regulatory Roulette
Place your bets, folks! With GOP senators scoring ‘A’s in crypto like overachievers in a bull market (39⁄49!), while Dems struggle to pass Crypto 101 (6⁄51). That SAB 121 repeal vote? Basically a partisan meme war where 48 Republicans shouted ‘HODL!’
Deficit Derby
Trump’s 7.8% GDP deficits vs. Harris’ 6.5% - Bitcoin thrives on this monetary arson anyway. The real question: Whose printers go brrrr louder?
Pro tip: Watch Grayscale’s deficit charts for maximum schadenfreude. Your altcoins may vary.

¡Esto es más impredecible que el mercado crypto! 🤯
Según los datos, los republicanos parecen más amigos del Bitcoin… pero con ese déficit del 7.8% del PIB que pronostican, hasta el Dogecoin va a parecer estable.
Mi análisis friki: Si el Bitcoin vive de la degradación monetaria… ¡ambos candidatos son mineros! ⛏️ Pero ojo, que hasta el Barça en su peor crisis era más estable que esta carrera regulatoria.
¿Ustedes en qué cripto apostarían? 😏 #EleccionesBTC
The Real Crypto Swing States
Polymarket says GOP has 78% Senate odds? More like 100% chance we’ll see altcoin FUD either way. Remember kids: it’s not if the SEC comes for your tokens - it’s which ex-Goldman guy they send to do it.
Pro Tip: When 48 Republicans vote to repeal SAB 121 but zero Democrats join… maybe time to reconsider that ‘apolitical tech’ narrative?
Deficit Moon Mission
Trump’s 7.8% GDP deficits vs Harris’ measly 6.5%? Jokes on us - Bitcoin feeds on fiscal irresponsibility like a crypto Twitter troll thrives on bad takes. WAGMI (While Governments Mismanage Inflation).
Drop your election bets in replies - I’m long on regulatory chaos either way.
