"Now it's easy to say, I'm afraid the time will come and I'll pretend to forget."
With 300,000 listeners present, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Wednesday yesterday who launched the United States (US) Presidential Campaign on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk said that he will protect Bitcoin (BTC) if elected as leader.
The statement has come while the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States (US) Gary Gensler insisted that every cryptocurrency is a security and under their jurisdiction.
However, BTC has distanced itself from the debate over securities following most regulators recognizing it as a commodity.
After showing his strong support for digital and decentralized assets in the past, Republican candidate Ron DeSantis in the primary election intends to take on former US President Donald Trump.
Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed the US and other central banks around the world after learning they were in the process of exploring the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
In addition to passing a bill to make CBDC illegal under Florida's Uniform Commercial Code, the governor believes CBDC is not good for US citizens as the government will monitor and control US citizens' finances.
Commenting Governor Ron DeSantis, Congress will probably not approve the CBDC bill, so the authorities that have control over it will impose environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
