New Hampshire Republican Bruce Fenton is behind in the polls for Tuesday's Senate primary, but pushing bitcoin toward the forefront of debate.
“I didn’t intend to run for office. I just want to be left alone,” says Fenton.anite Staters haven’t even heard of him, but the self-described “bitcoiner” is doing his part to get people talking about crypto.
Fenton is running an untraditional campaign. He’s self-funding his bid with his bitcoin fortune – he reported pouring 85 bitcoin, worth nearly $1.6 million, into his campaign – rather than soliciting cash from Republican donors. He spends hours in audio chatrooms on Twitter talking about his political philosophy and educating listeners about digital assets.
“We have a very deeply broken fiat money system,” Fenton said. “Bitcoin is sound and limited in supply. The United States dollar is not. It is unlimited in supply, and it is printed with reckless abandon by politicians who have no accountability whatsoever.” The married father of four moved to New Hampshire in 2017 as part of the Free State Project. The movement is aimed at “turning the tide against big government” by encouraging people to move in large numbers to New Hampshire to promote libertarian ideas, according to its website. The nonprofit project says it attracts people, “whoShould he somehow defy the polls, Fenton’s plan for the Senate would be to “pretty much vote no on almost everything.
“I get that there are crypto enthusiasts out there. But the idea that they're like, a key part of the Republican coalition is laughable,” said Fergus Cullen, a former state Republicanchair in New Hampshire and a Morse ally. “Have you seen the average Republican primary voter lately? I mean, grandpa's not that big on crypto. He’s just not.”
