They discussed \u201cBringing Bitcoin Innovation Home To America,\u201d talking about what they can do to entice investors and entrepreneurs to their country, as well as protect their investment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we don\u2019t protect private wallets, someone is going to try to ban them&#8230;I wish people were as adamant about protecting the right to privacy as they were about the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms,&#8221; warned Rep. Davidson. His warning resonated with a group which defends the right to privacy ferociously. <\/p>\n<p>Senator Lummis spoke of a potential bitcoin backed reserve currency; \u201cIt\u2019s important to have bitcoin underpinning the US dollar, as a store of value, the way gold used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although this idea and many of the others discussed may not be entirely accepted by Bitcoiners, who generally do not accept the government, it was extremely interesting to hear from two policy makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Join the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheBitcoinConf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>#Bitcoin2021<\/em><\/a><em> party from anywhere in the world by joining our conversation on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/officialbitcoinmagazine\"><em>Telegram<\/em><\/a><em>.
