Cynthia Lummis, the defender of cryptocurrencies
Never has the debate on cryptocurrencies marked the news so much before 2021! Digital assets have been at the heart of major political debates involving personalities from several countries. To give an example, we can mention the case of Cynthia Lummis, an American senator. During the year, she clearly displayed her unwavering support for cryptocurrencies through numerous publications. It fought well against the waves of restrictions on these assets.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has also been a notable player in cryptocurrency this year. In early 2021, he posted a message about his desire to promote cryptocurrency in his city. Has he kept his word? Absoutely ! Indeed, throughout the year, it defended digital assets, much like Cynthia Lummis, and contributed to their influence in Miami. He even expressed his intention to receive BTC as an annual salary.
Michael Saylor, another advocate of bitcoin (BTC)
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy entered the cryptocurrency arena in 2020.

He owns a lot of them and, throughout the year, he has not stopped invite everyone to buy and store BTC the maximum possible.
Elon Musk, Tesla and bitcoin (BTC)
It’s hard to name the people who made the year 2021 without mentioning Elon Musk. In February, her company Tesla disclosed that it had made a $ 1.5 billion purchase of BTC. In the process, a few days later, she revealed that she would now accept BTC as a means of payment.
Subsequently, in May, Elon Musk posted an image explaining why Tesla would no longer accept BTC as a payment method. The problem is that during this period, this news led to a reduction in the price of bitcoin (BTC).
The year 2021 was marked by many publications about bitcoin (BTC). It was full of emotions and surprises from both cryptocurrency advocates and non-advocates. Hopefully the year 2022 will be like 2021, if not even richer.
