The America Loves Crypto Tour made its third stop in Detroit, Michigan, drawing in crypto-natives and fans of rapper Big Sean for a night of live entertainment and a call to action to get out the crypto vote in the upcoming 2024 elections. With Michigan being a battleground state, the Stand With Crypto Alliance sees the state’s 940,000 bi-partisan Bitcoin and crypto owners as potentially crucial for the upcoming presidential election.
Local startup founders, university blockchain clubs, former State Representative Ryan Berman, and operatives of the Stand With Crypto Alliance took the stage to emphasize the importance of digital asset owners and entrepreneurs making their political voices heard. The event highlighted the need for clear regulation to foster innovation in the state and keep students in Michigan post-graduation.
President of the University of Michigan Blockchain Club, Evan Solomon, shared the club’s success in receiving support from the prestigious Ross School of Business and hosting events with visiting organizations. Solomon stressed the importance of clear regulation in attracting talent and strengthening the industry in the state.
Former Michigan State representative Ryan Berman discussed the constitutional considerations surrounding Bitcoin and crypto, drawing parallels to issues of free speech and privacy. The America Loves Crypto Tour will continue its roadshow in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., offering attendees the opportunity to register to vote and connect with like-minded individuals ahead of the November election.
