He started his prepared remarks by saying "Cryptocurrencies are a crock". He further said, on Congressional record, that all Bitcoin does is allow "a few dozen men in my district to sit in their pyjamas on their couch all day, and tell their wives they are going to be millionaires". He further suggested that Bitcoin doesn't provide any value to the real economy, asking "when you buy a Bitcoin, are you helping build a new factory?" One of Sherman's top campaign contributors in 2017-2018 was online payment processor Allied Wallet, a provider of e-commerce merchant services and online payment processing services, part of a sector at risk if cryptocurrency gets widely adopted for commerce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Sherman https://www.alliedwallet.com/ Coinbase, one of many world’s greatest cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets, obtained a checking account with a U.Okay. lender Barclays. https://cryptoprice.co/blog/barclays-strikes-banking-deal-with-major-cryptocurrency-exchange-coinbase/ Privacy Coin Verge Has Its Twitter Hacked and Developer Doxed https://news.bitcoin.com/privacy-coin-verge-twitter-hacked-developer-doxed/ Hashgraph, the Self-proclaimed ‘Blockchain Killer’ Introduces its New Hedera Platform https://cryptovest.com/news/hashgraph-the-self-proclaimed-blockchain-killer-introduces-its-new-hedera-platform/ Vertcoin Launches Vertpig Service for UK Residents https://cryptovest.com/news/vertcoin-launches-vertpig-service-for-uk-residents/ Invox Finance - A decentralised invoice financing solution for a connected world https://www.invoxfinance.io/ The ICO I am advising is here: https://www.sureindustrial.com/ Please subscribe for the latest news and updates.
