Two-term incumbent Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and her Republican challenger, John Deaton, had a fiery clash during the Senate debate at WBZ-TV on Tuesday.
The debate covered a range of issues, including cryptocurrency, immigration, housing, and abortion rights.
Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton took the stage to highlight the potential of Bitcoin as a financial tool for those without access to traditional banking services.
Deaton emphasized that cryptocurrencies could eliminate the need for predatory banks and intermediaries, thus providing financial inclusion.
Reflecting on his personal experience, Deaton recounted his mother’s struggles with traditional banking, particularly the high fees charged by check-cashing stores for welfare checks.
He argued that Bitcoin could offer a solution to people like his mother, who were excluded from the mainstream financial system.
“When Bitcoin came along, I thought, ‘Great, now you can cut out predatory banks and middlemen,’” Deaton stated.
Deaton also criticized Senator Warren’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation, arguing that her stance is misguided given the current economic challenges and geopolitical tensions.
