Senator Elizabeth Warren's Alleged Bitcoin Support Revealed as Clever Stunt

According to CoinDesk, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat known for her criticism of the blockchain industry, has not suddenly changed her stance on Bitcoin. Despite her anti-Bitcoin track record, she appeared to sign off on an official order for a flag to be flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. However, this development seems to be a clever stunt by Bitcoin supporters, as anyone can fill out a form on the Senator's website to have a flag flown over the Capitol for a fee. Bitcoin Magazine's tongue-in-cheek article on the matter suggests that Senator Warren's office takes a free-speech approach to moderating submissions to its flag request form. Neither Bitcoin Magazine nor Senator Warren's press office have responded to CoinDesk's requests for comment.
