U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis spoke about Bitcoin BTC -0.32% in an interview.
Discussing the merits of Bitcoin, Cynthia Lummis said, I like that it cannot be stopped, especially because I am worried about our national debt and inflation. I see people in my home state of Wyoming now going to food banks because they need fuel, they need gas to get to work, and they now have to choose between high gas prices and food.
So when we look at the inflation thing, when we see the value of a dollar going down, when you go to the grocery store and buy a bag of groceries and you used to buy two bags for the same price, we really need to look at those Assets that will exist for a long time.
That’s why, for me, it’s actually comforting to know that Bitcoin exists.
