Selkis A Fan Of Ramaswamy
Selkis, a strong advocate for Ramaswamy, mentioned that he had been assisting the candidate in formulating his crypto platform."A major presidential candidate actually having a fully baked position on crypto is something — I hope people will take up Vivek and his campaign on actually submitting some feedback," Selkis said on stage.
Ramaswamy, a former pharmaceutical entrepreneur, has positioned himself as a tech-forward heir to the populist movement led by former President Donald Trump.
