According to ChainCatcher, as reported by CoinTelegraph, Australian Senator Gerard Rennick criticized Bitcoin on the X platform, calling it a "Ponzi scheme" and questioning its value because it "cannot be eaten." This statement elicited a strong response from the Bitcoin community.

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) stated that Rennick's remarks demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of Bitcoin, which could lead to misguided policy-making. Additionally, several Bitcoin supporters defended the value and utility of Bitcoin, highlighting its importance as a digital asset and a store of value.
