“Next week, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is holding a hearing on the ‘potential risks, threats, and promises’ of cryptocurrency, and the Senate banking committee plans to follow suit. This is real big-boy stuff for Bitcoin, which once just looked like a nerdy novelty. Up until now, one of the main selling points of the cryptocurrency is the extent to which it existed outside of government control, but, if the Senate does decide to get more involved, that honeymoon may soon be over. Inevitably, a bunch of senators who might not even understand how cryptocurrency works might cast the deciding vote.”
