[Governor of Florida, USA: The Biden administration wants to outlaw cryptocurrencies] Golden Finance reported that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said at a recent press conference that the Biden administration wants to outlaw cryptocurrencies. They don’t like cryptocurrencies because they can’t. Cryptocurrencies are controlled, so they want to put everything in a central bank digital currency (CBDC). DeSantis, a possible presidential candidate in next year's election who has previously accused President Biden of surveillance and control through CBDC technology, said this week that legislation to ban central bank digital currencies in the state is moving forward. But if the Fed or Treasury tried to do that unilaterally, in Florida we would prohibit that. And I think it's about making sure people are financially independent and making sure we don't have a financial surveillance state where they know every transaction you're making.
