Ron DeSantis 'Vows' to Protect Bitcoin Rights As President

The U.S. is making quite some noise for an array of reasons. Issues related to its debt ceiling have been surfacing as BRICS continue to take down the dollar. Amid this economic uncertainty, Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, has taken a stance in favor of cryptocurrency by advocating for pro-crypto policies as part of his 2024 Presidential campaign.

In a recent Twitter Spaces conversation with Elon Musk, the topic of discussion revolved around their views on the crypto industry. The conversation then shifted towards the potential impact on the crypto space if Joe Biden were to be reelected as President. Elon Musk expressed regret for voting for Biden in the 2020 election, noting that he preferred a regular person as the President and wasn’t particularly interested in supporting Trump. DeSantis wasn’t pleased with the current government either. He warned the listeners as well as Musk that Bitcoin [BTC] could face significant challenges and potentially meet its demise if Joe Biden extends his term in office. He added,

“Bitcoin represents a threat to them. They’re trying to regulate it out of existence. The current regime they have it out for Bitcoin. And if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up killing it.”

Here’s what DeSantis thinks about Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies have toiled in the U.S. These assets continue to be a for power struggle between the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC]. These regulatory agencies have been grappling with the classification, oversight, and regulation of crypto assets. This has further created uncertainty and a complex environment for these assets to operate within the country. Therefore, several profitable firms have opted to expand their operations outside of the country.

DeSantis made a firm commitment to oppose any attempts by Congress to ban crypto like Bitcoin. He emphasized his strong opposition to such measures. He further said,

“You have every right to do Bitcoin. The only reason these people in Washington don’t like it is because they don’t control it.”

Additionally, at press time, BTC was trading for $26,204.86 with a 2.09% daily drop.

CleanSpark’s Bitcoin mining capacity hits 8 EH/s as new facility goes live

The Bitcoin mining company kicked off the second phase of its mining campus in Georgia, gearing up for the next Bitcoin halving. Bitcoin miner CleanSpark has begun the second phase of operations at its mining campus in Washington, a city in the U.S. state of Georgia, reaching 8.0 exahashes per second (EH/s), halfway to its year-end target of 16 EH/s.  The second phase saw an investment of nearly $55 million in the site, including construction, infrastructure and machines. The facility , bought in August 2022 for $25.1 million, had 15,000 mining machines with a power capacity of 50 megawatts (MW). According to the company, the capital deployed expands its total power capacity to 86 MW. “Today, it’s 50 megawatts of new power added on to the 36 megawatts we previously had constructed there. So, there’s 86 megawatts, or 12 times the load provided by the city," said Matthew Schultz, CleanSpark’s executive chairman, during an investors' conference on July 13. According to Schu...

Tether bitcoin mine branded 'fake' after X users spot edited logos

Image
A recent tweet from Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino in which he claims work on one of the company’s new sustainable bitcoin mining projects is “coming along well” has given rise to a curious new conspiracy theory. The tweet featured what at first glance looked to be an innocuous image of a number of shipping containers that had apparently been converted hold crypto miners. However, it didn’t take eagle-eyed viewers long to spot that something wasn’t quite right — namely that the Tether logos on the side of the containers looked Photoshopped. This led to speculation that not only were the logos fake, but the site itself was a fabrication . One of #Tether energy production and #Bitcoin mining sites coming along well. pic.twitter.com/6Z8o6A5OaE — Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino) August 24, 2023 “Is this a real Mining site owned by Tether ?
