US Senate Candidate Austin Petersen Talks Crypto

Races for Senate are usually relatively similar. There are a few candidates, some routine bickering, a few shocking allegations, and enough muckraking to make even progressive era journalists look like they were embellishing their subjects. Occasionally though, a wrench is thrown in and shakes up the entire election. This year that person was Austin Petersen.

Political opinions aside, Petersen seems to embody the libertarian spirit put forth by the more anarchical members of the cryptocurrency community. In our short conversation, he continuously pointed out the failings of big government, talked about his thoughts on where cryptocurrency could go and spoke about some of the shortcomings of centralized platforms in the era of fake news.
