In a recent public statement, John E Deaton, a popular legal expert and cryptocurrency advocate has said label Bitcoin, the largest digital asset, is a symbol of financial freedom and a key tool in the struggle against centralized financial control of prominent individuals such as United States Senator Elizabeth Warren. Deaton's praise for Bitcoin points to its decentralized nature, which is believed to empower individuals, as it provides them with an alternative to established banking institutions and government-mandated financial regulations.
bitcoin is financial freedom
The expert revealed his insights during a podcast with SkyBridge Capital founder, Anthony Scaramucci, when asked what the first word that comes to his mind when he hears Bitcoin is. John Deightonrenowned for his legal defense in the digital asset space, responded that Bitcoin is freedom.
Deaton then based his perspective on his lifelong experience of self-determination in America. “The America I grew up in, and the America I joined the Marine Corps to protect, is a country where your birth and the circumstances of your childhood do not determine your destiny. In the America I love, your destiny is determined by yourself,” he said.
Although Deaton believes that individuals should be able to shape their own destiny, he said that U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren He believes that all people should live in a nanny state where those in power, including him, will decide how people should live their lives.
The post read:
Warren, on the other hand, believes in a nanny state where elites like her tell us how we should live our lives. They think they know what is best for us. Warren thinks Bitcoin is a terrible investment. Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. She has the freedom not to invest. But that’s not enough for her. She believes it should protect us from making bad investments.
According to the expert, Warren thinks she knows what is in the best interest of the general public, as she claims that investing in Bitcoin is a very poor investment option. He said Warren believes it is his responsibility to protect individuals from making bad investments; however, this protection is detrimental to personal liberty.
Deaton compared his situation to the scenario that happened with Apple in 1980, when state regulators forbade the general public from purchasing Apple stock in its initial public offering (IPO). While Deaton highlighted that state regulators prevented individuals from potential investments like Apple stock at the time, he believes Warren wants to do the same with Bitcoin.
