Utah Republican Senator: Cryptocurrency is used as a medium of exchange, not a commodity
At the Permissionless III cryptocurrency conference held in Salt Lake City, Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee outlined three potential threats to the emerging cryptocurrency industry: (1) the creation of central bank digital currencies, (2) patchwork regulation by individual states, and (3) strict federal regulation.

"I don't even think we should be taxing capital gains on the transfer of cryptocurrencies."
