Many US Senators have come out against the existence of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, and many don’t see the reason for their existence except, for illicit purposes. Jon Tester, an American farmer and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Montana, recently stated that he sees “no reason why” cryptocurrencies and digital assets should exist in the current scenario.

Jon Tester hat seinen Sitz als Demokrat aus Montana seit 2007 inne und ist ein hochrangiges Mitglied der US-Politik. Interessanterweise gehört der Senator auch dem Bankenausschuss des Senats an, einem Ausschuss, der für Angelegenheiten im Zusammenhang mit Banken und Banken, Preiskontrollen, Einlagen usw. zuständig ist. Darüber hinaus ist der Ausschuss auch eine der wichtigsten Einrichtungen im Regulierungsbereich .

In an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ on Dec. 11, Jon Tester angegeben dass Kryptowährungen und der Kryptosektor keinen Wert haben. Er fügte hinzu, dass die Regulierung dieses Sektors nur dazu führen wird, der Branche Legitimität zu verleihen, die in gewissem Sinne ein Spielplatz für Betrüger und Ru-Puller ist.

According to the Senator’s statement, “It’s not been able to pass the smell test for me. I have not been able to find anybody who’s been able to explain to me what’s there other than synthetics […] which means nothing,” he said, while further adding:

“The problem is if we regulate it, and I pointed this out to some of the regulators here a week or two ago, if we regulated it, it may give it the ability of people to think it’s real,” said Jon Tester in an interview.

Finally, Jon Tester added that he sees “no reason why this stuff should exist” at all. However, the crypto community on social media platform Twitter, which was just für über $44 Milliarden an Elon Musk verkauft, beschloss, den Senator für seinen selbst eingestandenen Mangel an Krypto-Kenntnissen und seine Anti-Krypto-Bemerkungen zu kritisieren.

Twitter user @BS0064 tweeted that it is “always good to see people who have no idea what they’re talking about to express really strong opinions on the matter.” On the other hand, @blocknonprofit argued Tester’s statement, adding that “it is real… imagine all those cryptos are just tech stocks not traded on traditional exchanges used today.”

Moreover, Jon Tester slammed cryptocurrencies in an earlier statement given to media outlet Semafor, adding that the crypto industry was “all bullshit” and that he can’t “figure out what supports it.” The Twitter crypto communnity believes that this shows the Senator’s lack of knowledge about blockchain and tokenization.

Wie bereits von Bitnation berichtet, Die US-Senatoren Elizabeth Warren und Tina Smith kritisierten kürzlich den Zusammenbruch der Krypto-Börse FTX, und die breitere Kryptoindustrie. Darüber hinaus befürchten die Gesetzgeber, dass der Mangel an regulatorischer Aufsicht in den Beziehungen zwischen Banken und Kryptofirmen langfristige Folgen haben könnte.
