Analysts are bullish on BTC as Bitcoin gains acceptance from US Senator

US Senator Cynthia Lummis has emerged as one of the strongest advocates for Bitcoin. Senator Lummis told CNBC in an interview that Bitcoin is a decentralized commodity while other cryptocurrencies behave like securities. 

Senator Lummis believes that Bitcoin is here to stay, and this is not the case for the remaining cryptocurrencies. 

Senator Lummis states, 

Bitcoin is the standard. Everything else has to be monitored differently because they are created differently.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has been pro-Bitcoin in the ongoing debate for months now. On October 7, the Senator filed a periodic transaction report (PTR) revealing a BTC purchase between $50,000 to $100,000.
