I use this as an evidence point that these people should not be entrusted with making decisions about technology if they cannot even understand it enough to use it at a basic working knowledge. Why should a congress person make a statement or decision on the effects of something like cryptocurrency when they cannot understand the basics of the underlying technology? (I'm not saying they should implement a miner in C, but getting a wallet, buying $100 worth, having a cold + hot wallet, doing a transaction might be considered due diligence)
