Partly. I would bet that only two or three Reps or Senators could even give you a definition of a cryptocurrency, let alone explain what they are or how they work.
Being elected to Congress does not necessarily mean being intelligent, but that is the way it is everywhere in the world - because recently journalists in my country have asked politicians in my country to try to define Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, and they have all heard about it but cannot give any meaningful answer. However, it seems that those at lower levels still understand a little better what it is about, because the state post office has been providing the service of a physical crypto exchange for a long time.
I am lucky to live in a country where politicians have no idea what Bitcoin is, but I can sell or buy a cryptocurrency for cash without KYC up to approximately 2000 EUR per transaction with a fairly reasonable fee (around 3%).
