Senator Cynthia Lummis: "It's very important to protect Bitcoin and the people who keep it in their personal wallets... We don't want to see this asset controlled by the government because it's a great virtue."
Larry Fink, founder of BlackRock Group, said: "I believe Bitcoin is a legitimate financial instrument that gives you irrelevant returns, and I believe you can invest in it when you're scared. I believe Bitcoin has a place in the portfolio."
