Topic: [NEWS] Elizabeth Warren says she’s building an anti-crypto army in new campaign - page 4. (Read 611 times)

You are right Franky and I don't think the senator has a good campaign strategy, anti-Bitcoin campaigns being the centre vocal point of her election bid will turn the electorate's interest away from her since no one wants autocratic leaders who will not want the freedom of the citizens must especially freedom in finances.

Elizabeth has a slim chance of winning the election and as a matter of fact, her entire political career may be affected negatively because of her hate for Bitcoin since a large portion of the society already embracing bitcoin.

The young voters will see Elizabeth as old fashion politician who does not have the wherewithal to mitigate through the process of adopting bitcoin and other digital assets into the traditional financial system as a lawmaker.

This grandma should have retired and stayed at home taking care of her children and grandchildren, she shouldn't be dealing with government issues let alone dealing with issues related to cryptocurrencies. She is too busy taking care of things that are not her business and forgets her obligations as a grandmother, I really feel sorry for her offspring.

This is really sad. While my disdain of politicians is usually reserved for the extremist corrupt immoral fascist tyrannical republican party, Elizabeth Warren is right up there with them as a politician that I really don't like and she clearly picks fights she doesn't understand.

I don't get why she is sooooo anti-crypto. I mean I know she thinks Bitcoin is bad because it uses a lot of energy and she isn't educated up on why Bitcoin mining is actually really good for the environment and the world. And I know there's plenty of scams in crypto. But like, she just hates all of crypto including Bitcoin and has zero interest in learning about it. I guess its just cuz she doesn't know anything about it and just reads the bad headlines about scams and stuff like FTX and doesn't care enough to really learn about the whole industry and just assumes its all scams and FTXes. It'd be like wanting to build an anti-internet army in the 90s. It's sad politicians like her are so uneducated on Bitcoin/Crypto that they 'want to toss the baby out with the bath water' as the saying goes. She seems to be someone who goes after anything that APPEARS to be bad based on media interpretations, and doesn't bother to learn beyond that.


After such a pronouncement as "building an anti-crypto army" I would really like to see her actually debate industry experts so her views on the industry could get demolished in the public eye.  There's no strong voices standing up for the industry in a very public way so crap like this is just allowed to go unchallenged. It is VERY popular to malign Bitcoin and the industry as a whole, and generally the only response is people on Twitter condemning such attacks. We really need more public people actually educating the public and politicians on the benefits.

I really do not know why people of 73 years are running a government that are in control of so many important things. She should be retired and looking after her grand children now, but now she is building an army against Bitcoin. 

It is like the old people are rising up against change and fighting to their last breath to hold onto the past. Take Warren Buffet he is in his 90s, but he still wants to hold on to his old fiat legacy.... because they helped to build that corrupt system. 

If I were to guess what kind of person would look at this and want to vote for her, then I suppose those which live by the mantra 'misery loves company' fit her target audience perfectly.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general have no effect on the lives of those which do not use them, and even if they see in bitcoin a tool to obtain freedoms they neither want or need, they still do not want for anyone else to have them, so people like her can get a lot of votes despite that a proposal like this will bring no benefits at all to the ones supporting her.

I think a lot of her supporters are miserable people who hate everyone and everything. An anti-crypto army to go after those evil crypto bros seems like it fits right in line with what her supporters want to see. More hate, more blaming people for their success, more punishment of those who try to break free of the financial chains the system has placed on us all. It’s right on brand.

The most concerning thing that could come from this campaign is someone looking at it and thinking, "Yes, this makes me want to vote for Elizabeth Warren". As a non-politically involved/non-government individual, who in their right mind is thinking that an "anti-crypto army" is something that would be directly beneficial to them and their community? I can only see people who have been scammed in some way that involved cryptocurrency seeing this as a good thing. Elizabeth Warren probably got duped herself, that would explain why she is so anti-crypto

Analysis aside. The campaign image is a great meme.

If it's decentralized, who's the one going to comply with ..anything?

funny part is

bitcoin started life under a MIT licence
the M of MIT is her states name

MIT is a hub of technical innovation, a literal institution of technology and she wants to strangle it.,, hmm not really a good look when it comes to re-election

If you are living under the jurisdiction of the United States of America and a registered voter under the the state of Massachusetts, do not vote for this grandma!

They are doing something similar to the cryptospace as they did to controlling guns. They are taking them away from the hands of the people and what might occur is it will be the criminals who will predominantly have access to them.



U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s re-election campaign is set to focus heavily on the crypto industry.

Her disdain for the crypto industry isn’t new — the Massachusetts senator has been fighting to curb the spread of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. for several years.

Her efforts culminated in December 2022 with the introduction of the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2022. At the time, the bill was widely criticized both by republicans and fellow democrats, with the broader crypto and tech industries warning about the dangerous implications it could have.

In February, Warren vowed to reintroduce the bill this year, which would require all decentralized entities to comply with rigorous AML requirements.
