Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is adamant that Bitcoin will unite the world in response to restrictions around an amendment to the Senate’s current infrastructure package.
The package would have strengthened the government’s position in cryptocurrency with news of the amendment revealed on Monday.
Dorsey took to his social media platform, insisting that bitcoin will initially heal his nation:
#Bitcoin will unite a deeply divided country.

While not directly referring to the amendment, it’s likely that his tweet came off the back of the government’s update, having previously praised the cryptocurrency during a Bitcoin press conference last month.
“My hope is that it creates world peace or helps create world peace,” he said, as CNBC reported via Hypebeast. “We have all these monopolies off balance and the individual doesn’t have power and the amount of cost and distraction that comes from our monetary system today is real and it takes away attention from the bigger problems.”
“All these distractions that we have to deal with on a daily basis take away from those bigger goals that affect every single person on this planet and increasingly so,” he said. “You fix that foundational level and everything above it improves in such a dramatic way. It’s going to be long-term but my hope is definitely peace.”
