Bitcoin And Crypto Suddenly Branded A 'National Security Issue'
The PATETIC president Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community last week when he branded bitcoin “based on thin air,” with his comments coming just after the chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve said closer regulation of cryptocurrencies was needed.
Now, U.S. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin has added his voice to the assault on bitcoin, Facebook’s planned Libra crypto project, and other cryptocurrencies, warning they pose a “national security” risk to the country.
