 <h2 id="b-ramaswamy-s-pro-crypto-stance-b"><b>Ramaswamy’s Pro-Crypto Stance</b></h2> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Known for his outspoken views on cryptocurrencies and digital finance, Ramaswamy has actively advocated for a more robust crypto ecosystem in the US. During the Bitcoin 2023 conference held in Miami, he announced his campaign’s acceptance of Bitcoin donations, becoming the second candidate in the 2024 US presidential race to do so.&nbsp;</span></p>

  <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just announced we’re officially accepting #Bitcoin donations. <br>Give $1. <br>Let’s make the 2024 election a referendum on fiat currency. https://t.co/KrHJdomtCh pic.twitter.com/OkVmoBmTFz</p>

 <p></p> 
 <p>&nbsp;</p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramaswamy showcased a QR code at the conference, which directed users to a payment gateway with multiple donation options, including Bitcoin and satoshis. In return for </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">contributions</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> up to the $6,600 limit, eligible donors would receive an exclusive nonfungible token (NFT) as a show of appreciation.</span></p>  
 <div class="quads-location quads-ad124348 " id="quads-ad124348" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;">   
 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramaswamy’s decision follows the footsteps of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">first US presidential candidate to accept Bitcoin donations</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Such moves from political candidates signify the growing importance and influence of cryptocurrencies in the future of finance.</span></p> 
 <h2 id="b-a-growing-republican-voice-b"><b>A Growing Republican Voice</b></h2> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramaswamy’s beliefs resonate with the Republican base. In a social media post, he laid out ten points detailing his conservative views, including statements like “God is real,” “The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind,” and “The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.” His rising popularity has seen him inching closer to the pro-Bitcoin Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, in the Republican presidential field.</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, Ramaswamy’s political journey isn’t without challenges. He is facing two </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">lawsuits</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from former employees at Strive Asset Management, the company he co-founded. The employees claim they were pressured into violating securities laws during their tenure at the firm.</span></p>
