Elizabeth Warren Did Not Honor Satoshi Nakamoto with a Flag
An unconfirmed report circulated in the crypto community suggesting that US Senator Elizabeth Warren had honored Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto with a ceremonial US flag. However, this report has been debunked and more context has been provided regarding what actually happened.
Someone Reached Out to Warren’s Office
A user on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted that someone, most likely a troll, reached out to Warren’s office to purchase a flag that would be flown in honor of Satoshi Nakamoto. Like every other Senator, Warren has a dedicated website page where anyone can place a flag order.
Purchasing Flags Flown Over the Capitol
Former US Representative Jim Cooper revealed that anyone can purchase a flag that has flown over the US Capitol and even request a specific date for it to be flown to honor someone like Nakamoto. All they have to do is contact their US Congressman or Senator.
The Certificate Explains the Misunderstanding
When someone purchases a flag, they also receive a certificate confirming that it was flown over the Capitol. This is why the certificate included Warren’s signature, leading to the belief that she had endorsed Nakamoto.
Warren Remains a Cryptocurrency Critic
Despite this misunderstanding, Senator Elizabeth Warren continues to be one of the most outspoken critics of cryptocurrencies. She introduced the ‘Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act,’ which received pushback from the crypto community and was labeled as an “unconstitutional assault” on digital assets and industry stakeholders by Coin Center.
Action Against Warren
In response to Warren’s stance on cryptocurrency, members of the XRP community have urged John Deaton, a legal expert and critic of Warren, to run against her. Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse supports this push, and Deaton is seriously considering running for Warren’s seat.
Bitcoinist recently reported that Deaton might answer the call as he seriously considers contesting for Warren’s seat. Senator Elizabeth Warren represents Massachusetts in the US Senate and has served since 2013.
