This is the stupidest comment on Bitcoin mining that I have ever head. Figures it came from a politician. 
 Why is that stupid? 
 Bitcoin is an inclusive global protocol and asset and needs to be distributed globally, not in the USA exclusively. 
 No one is distributing Bitcoin anywhere. Nor is anyone talking about taking from anyone else. Nor does anyone have the ability to do so, that's the entire point of Bitcoin. It's smart for world leaders to get on board with it. 
 I tend to agree more with the Salvadoran president's view of bitcoin. Here it makes no sense to say that all the remaining bitcoin will be American, it shows that he has not understood btc and the true values. Not surprising for someone who sells his own nft. 
 Touché :-)
