Senator Ted Cruz, a staunch champion for crypto reaffirmed his support for bitcoin while speaking at the Turning Point Americafest Conference. In his words, “We are going to unleash crypto. I am proud to stand with bitcoin. I am the only member of the U.S. Senate who is a bitcoin miner. I’ve got three miners in West Texas and it is beautiful. Texas is the oasis for bitcoin.” Cruz’s appearance at the Charlie Kirk‘s Turning Point event followed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump‘s speech. Trump also discussed crypto at the event and congratulated bitcoiners on BTC surpassing the $108,000 range this past week.
