In his keynote address, the Massachusetts senator described the largest cryptocurrency as a “lousy investment” and a “haven for illegal activity.” Warren has also called for a restriction on “environmentally wasteful” Bitcoin mining, claiming it is a “disaster” for the planet. Contrary to Warren’s latest comments, Texas Senator Ted Cruz said Bitcoin has “a lot of potential”.

She Said:

One bitcoin transaction uses the same amount of electricity as the typical household uses in a month.  Wild swings in BTC value mean that Bitcoin is a terrible currency.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, a longtime Bitcoin advocate, also reacted to these statements by Senator Warren. He said that he would leave his companies to work on BTC.

I don’t think there is anything more important in my lifetime to work on.
