Cynthia Lummis On Bringing Bitcoin To The U.S. Senate: Bitcoin Magazine

On November 3, 2020, the Associated Press declared Cynthia Lummis the winner of an open U.S. Senate seat for Wyoming, making her the first woman to ever represent the state in the upper chamber. But this wasn’t the only first marked by her historic win.

As she’s emphasizes in this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine podcast, Lummis is the most outspoken Bitcoin advocate to ever rise to elected office on The Hill.

She discusses her own journey in realizing Bitcoin's unique store-of-value characteristics in 2013, her plans to educate Senate colleagues about the technology and importance of keeping the federal and legislative branches at bay in terms of misguided Bitcoin regulation.

Be sure to watch the full interview for those highlights and more.
