Anthony Scaramucci: SEC Shouldn’t Regulate Bitcoin

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci on a podcast Decrypt stated that he had not lost his enthusiasm for bitcoin. The investor added that he is more optimistic about the first cryptocurrency than ever.

“I am not a cold figure in this area. I am not an evangelist. I’m not one of those religious figures who will chant Bitcoin über alles, no matter what happens in life. So I want to put that on record and then say that I’m more optimistic now than ever,” Scaramucci said.

He also criticized the chapter SEC Gary Gensler for “disorder” in the department. SkyBridge Capital’s CEO added that Senator Elizabeth Warren is acting like she’s Washington’s “shadow president of financial services.”

“You know, our allegedly socialist neighbors in the north [Канады] there are two or three bitcoin ETFs. We have Gary Gensler and Elizabeth Warren,” he said.

Scaramucci believes that the first cryptocurrency should be classified as a commodity and not subject to regulation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

“I think it’s like money and like a commodity. I think profitable things or staking positions that give more than anything, anything that has an earning mechanism, are probably securities,” he explained.

In January, Scaramucci predicted a bitcoin “rebirth” in 2023. In his opinion, Fed will suspend the campaign to raise the base rate until the inflation target of 2% is reached.
