Former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard spoke to an audience at Bitcoin 2023 today, focusing on institutional problems with American politics and elected leaders who seek to consolidate power rather than serve the electorate.

“I served in Congress for eight years and I’m running for president in 2020, and while we like to have the idea that we have great, brave leaders in Washington… unfortunately, that’s not the case,” said Gabbard. “At the end of the day, they are driven by fear of losing power and losing control, and in essence, they are afraid of us. They are afraid of a free society.”

In particular, it highlighted the Biden administration Exploring Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)And stressing how such a project would be contrary to the privacy of monetary transactions and the preservation of freedom. As described in the white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto, “Bitcoin: A peer-to-peer electronic cash systemBitcoin is designed to preserve these qualities in a digital way.

“The Biden administration’s move toward implementing a central bank digital currency is their latest effort toward exercising control and taking away our freedom,” Gabbard said. “No matter how many flowery words they use to deny the existence of ill intent… No matter how many times they say, ‘Hey, it’s for your own good’… But in the end, we know this is about their mission and their insatiable desire for total control.” .

She also noted that those in power struggle with or are not interested in bitcoin because it cannot be manipulated by any third party.

“You would think that they would be interested in how Bitcoin is changing people’s lives around the world, but they really don’t care about people,” she said.
