The Biden administration wants to impose a 30% tax on bitcoin mining. And @SECGov Chair Gary Gensler has shown hostility to the industry at every turn.
We need a regulatory environment that encourages innovation here at home, not overseas.

Quoted from www.lummis.senate.gov on May 27th, 2021
Tim Scott sits on the Financial Innovation Caucus of the U.S. Senate. The caucus will serve as a space in the Senate to discuss domestic and global financial technology issues, and to launch legislation to empower innovators, protect consumers and guide regulators, while driving U.S. financial leadership on the international stage.
