The investor and entrepreneur laid out his case in a lengthy social media thread that was highly critical of incumbent Elizabeth Warren, characterizing the Massachusetts Senator as the "chief architect" behind the Biden administration"s war on the crypto industry.


Winklevoss claimed that President Joe Biden granted Elizabeth Warren, who is a senior member of the Democrat Party, veto power over his regulatory nominees in exchange for endorsing his 2020 presidential campaign.


According to Winklevoss, this gave Warren the tremendous power to shape regulatory agencies and pull the strings behind the scenes, effectively making the heads of these agencies her puppets and giving rise to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation"s (FDIC) Operation Chokepoint 2.0. "Crypto has the capacity to level the financial playing field and promote financial inclusion, fairness, and freedom for all," Winklevoss wrote before turning his attention back to Warren."Elizabeth Warren should be embracing it. Instead, she has tried to kill it. Why? Because she can’t control it. Her lust for power and control is so great that she puts it ahead of the individual consumer that she pretends to care about and protect."Source: Tyler WinklevossSenator Lummis endorses another GOP candidate
