Congressman Brad Sherman has been vocal about his concerns regarding cryptocurrency, stating that passing the crypto bill FIT21 could create a competitor to the US Dollar, potentially used by criminals. Sherman believes that cryptocurrency, with its hidden nature, could hinder tax law enforcement and even lead to the creation of a new currency by crypto billionaires. He criticizes the GOP for proposing a bill to block innovation, suggesting it's to prevent competition with the Federal Reserve's payment system.
