United States senatorial candidate for New Hampshire, Bruce Fenton, has extended his support for Bitcoin publicly. Fenton tweeted his public statement and said, “People choose what money is. We should separate money and state the way we separate church and state. I support the right of anyone to use any form of money they choose. I choose Bitcoin as my preferred money. The US dollar is a melting ice cube.”
Furthermore, Fenton advocated for everybody’s freedom to choose better money, even if it means choosing Bitcoin.
Crypto has become increasingly powerful in the political scenario, as political groups backed by wealthy crypto investors have scored some key wins in the 2022 midterm primaries. Not many candidates have spoken or shown support to any form of crypto, unlike Fenton.
According to Fenton, people don’t need politicians to tell them what money is throughout human history. “For thousands of years, people have figured it out, whether it’s gold or silver or Bitcoin, and the fact is that our money right now is broken. Politicians broke it. They have unlimited money that they can print from thin air without accountability,” he said.
In another podcast interview, Fenton said that he hopes that Bitcoin can make people care much more about ideas, code, and what’s true rather than personalities and self-marketing.
