Capitol

Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her skepticism towards Bitcoin, publicly celebrated its 15th anniversary by recognizing its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. 
According to <a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/elizabeth-warren-pivots-on-bitcoin-honors-nakamoto-with-flag-over-capitol-" data-type="link" data-id="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/elizabeth-warren-pivots-on-bitcoin-honors-nakamoto-with-flag-over-capitol-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin Magazine</a>, Warren participated in the Capitol Flag Program to honor Nakamoto’s creation of Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) as a “financial system.” 
A flag was flown over the Capitol on Dec. 18, which was recognized by the Bitcoin community as HODL Day.
