Hunter Biden Talks Crypto on Social Media

Hunter Biden — son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, famous for the laptop scandal and his now-overcome addiction to narcotics — has given a nod to the crypto industry that briefly took over crypto X. After a post issuing a not-so-veiled critique of the direction of President Donald Trump's Administration, Biden asked Gmoney, a General Partner at Delphi INFINFT, whether he would help mobilize the crypto vote in a hypothetical upcoming presidential campaign, saying he would battle anti-crypto Democrats led by Senator Elizabeth Warren using Hyperliquid. The exchange went viral, racking up over 1.56 million views and reigniting the eternal crypto X question of what Hunter Biden actually thinks.

"Fiat is a sham, the banking class is corrupt, decentralized digital currency and the blockchain are the inevitable future, and the incumbents will fight it to the death," Biden said when asked about his thoughts on the fiat financial system — a stance that seems to diverge from his father's past actions against the crypto industry.

Biden later revealed he was a fan of Mike Winkelmann's art, known as Beeple, for his crypto-adjacent social media posts. "When I decided to sell my art I wanted every piece on the blockchain and to accept bitcoin as payment. 'The Internet of Money' by Andreas Antonopoulos really opened my eyes," Biden disclosed. The crypto banter continued.

When asked what the first thing he would do regarding crypto if he became president, Biden dismissed any presidential bid, saying it was "not something" he thinks about — a 2028 plot twist nobody was alpha-testing. Even so, he called on politicians across the aisle to "truly understand the value and potential utility of cryptocurrency rather than just use it as a pet political issue for power or abuse it for financial gain," criticizing the current state of affairs between crypto and the government.
