MTG Blasts U.S. Central Bank’s Fednow Digital Currency Program
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is known for her controversial statements and is not shy about expressing her opinions. The American politician and businesswoman has represented Georgia’s 14th congressional district since 2020. On April 5, she criticat the U.S. central bank’s Fednow project, stating that the U.S. should return to the gold standard rather than relying on digital currency payment systems. “Hard pass,” added the Congress member. Like other Republican politicians, Greene, or MTG, does not seem to support a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
senador de Texas Ted Creu and Florida governor Ron DeSantis have introduir legislation against CBDCs. The stance of MTG on permissionless cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC) i ethereum (ETH) is “unclear,” according to Coinbase’s reportar on the Georgia representative. Coinbase’s report, which covers Congressional leaders’ opinions on crypto assets, states that there is “not enough data to determine” Greene’s official stance. However, the report does mention that MTG spoke out on Twitter against Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s actions against a convoy of truckers.
“As Trudeau has gone full dictator in Canada and is stealing Canadians’ crypto wallets, Democrats and big banks are lining up to take their cut of #crypto and #blockchain,” tuiteó Greene. “Joe ‘the big guy’ Biden always gets his cut. Protect crypto owners’ rights,” she added. The Georgian politician also va aparèixer on the “America First with Sebastian Gorka” podcast in an episode titled “Your Bitcoin is in Danger.” During a press briefing in November 2022, MTG discutit the alleged theory that donated crypto funds sent to Ukraine were transferred to Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX.
Many people believe that a CBDC would be a disastrous idea for the United States. Economist Richard Werner recently anomenat the July launch of Fednow “suspicious.” Former Republican congressman from Texas, Ron Paul, also criticat the Fednow payment system three years ago, encouraging crypto competition instead. He stated, “I’m all for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology because I like competing currencies.” Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has referred to herself as “anti-crypto,” denunciat recentment competing currencies like bitcoin and called for the U.S. to move towards a CBDC.
