That is, of course, a double-edged sword and several major miners could end up being loss-making as a result. Outside of Bitcoin, pro-crypto lawyer John Deaton has won the Massachusetts Republican Party US Senate primary to set up an election showdown with anti-crypto Senator Elizabeth Warren in November.
