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 occupe son siège de démocrate du Montana depuis 2007 et est un membre éminent de la politique américaine. Fait intéressant, le sénateur fait également partie du comité sénatorial des banques, un comité qui a compétence sur les questions liées aux banques et aux banques, au contrôle des prix, aux dépôts, etc. De plus, le comité est également l'une des principales entités impliquées dans le domaine de la réglementation. .

In an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ on Dec. 11, Jon Tester déclaré que les crypto-monnaies et le secteur de la crypto n'ont aucune valeur. Il a ajouté que la réglementation de ce secteur ne conduirait qu'à donner une légitimité à l'industrie qui est, en quelque sorte, un terrain de jeu pour les escrocs et les ru-pullers.

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 vendu à Elon Musk pour plus de $44 milliards, a décidé de critiquer le Sénateur pour sa méconnaissance auto-avouée de la crypto et ses propos anti-crypto.

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.

Comme indiqué précédemment par Bitnation, Les sénateurs américains Elizabeth Warren et Tina Smith ont récemment critiqué l'effondrement de l'échange de crypto, FTX, et l'industrie de la cryptographie au sens large. En outre, les législateurs craignent que le manque de surveillance réglementaire dans les liens entre les banques et les entreprises de cryptographie n'ait des conséquences durables.
