Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey, a noted superfan of Bitcoin, claimed on Monday that the cryptocurrency will eventually unite the world. Yes, really.
On Monday afternoon, an amendment to the Senate’s infrastructure package that would have expanded the government’s involvement in cryptocurrency was blocked. Shortly after that, Dorsey tweeted that “#Bitcoin will unite a deeply divided country. (and eventually: world).”
#Bitcoin will unite a deeply divided country.

Dorsey didn’t specify which country, but given that he’s been tweeting a lot about the amendment since it failed, it seems likely he’s talking about the US. He hasn’t yet explained further.
This isn’t the first time…
