Democrata Jon Tester vê 'nenhuma razão' na existência de cripto
- The senior US senator from Montana, Jon Tester, criticized cryptocurrencies, stating that he sees “no reason why” they exist.
- “The problem is if we regulate it, […] it may give it the ability of people to think it’s real,” said the Senator in his statement.
- Crypto community on Twitter criticized the Senator’s remarks with users saying that he has no knowledge about blockchain and decentralization.
- In an earlier statement, Jon Tester said that the crypto industry was “all bullshit” and that he can’t “figure out what supports it.”
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 ocupou seu cargo como democrata de Montana desde 2007 e é um membro sênior da política dos EUA. Curiosamente, o senador também faz parte da Comissão Bancária do Senado, comissão que tem jurisdição sobre assuntos relacionados a bancos e serviços bancários, controle de preços, depósito etc. .
In an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ on Dec. 11, Jon Tester afirmou que as criptomoedas e o setor criptográfico não têm valor. Ele acrescentou que regulamentar este setor só levará a dar legitimidade à indústria que é, em certo sentido, um playground para golpistas e 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 vendido para Elon Musk por mais de $44 bilhões, decidiu criticar o senador por sua autoadmitida falta de conhecimento sobre cripto e seus comentários anticripto.
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.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, As senadoras americanas Elizabeth Warren e Tina Smith criticaram recentemente o colapso da bolsa de criptomoedas FTX, e a indústria criptográfica mais ampla. Além disso, os legisladores estão preocupados que a falta de supervisão regulatória nos laços entre bancos e empresas de criptomoedas possa ter consequências duradouras.
