Florida Governor and US presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, in a conversation with Elon Musk, said that if President Biden is re-elected, Bitcoin will be under threat.

Ron DeSantis stated thatsupports Bitcoin, since the first cryptocurrency represents civil liberties. And the fact that President Biden’s administration is trying to limit and control Bitcoin is a government overreach.

"You have all rights to usebitcoin. The only reason Washington doesn't like Bitcoin is because they don't control it. Bitcoin is a threat to their power, so they are trying to regulate it and even destroy it,” noted the US presidential candidate.

The governor of Florida said that if the currentIf the government's policy continues, then Congress will definitely try to introduce a ban on “things like Bitcoin.” DeSantis said he would “vehemently oppose” such laws. But if Biden is re-elected, there is a possibility that US authorities will be able to damage or even destroy the first cryptocurrency.

“The current regime clearly wants to exclude Bitcoin. And if all this continues for another 4 years, they will probably kill BTC in the end,” the politician said.

Ron DeSantis also opposed the launchstate digital currency and said that if he becomes president, he would never approve such a project. He emphasized that CBDC will become another means of controlling citizens, so he is against the launch of state cryptocurrencies.

Recall that in mid-May, Ron DeSantis signed a law banning the use of digital dollars in Florida.
