Crypto Daily 3@3 - 7.22 | The Big Libra Goes To Washington Recap [LRS56 Top 5] pscp.tv/w/cAZFhDE0Nzc1…
For those who missed the intro, this is a re-broadcast of the weekly LRS top 5 recap produced by @BLOCKTVnews.

It features content from @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry

Below are the top 5, summarized in clips.
@BLOCKTVnews @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry #5 - The questions going into the hearings

@mayazi really nailed it with her massive thread in advance of the hearings about everything that needed to be discussed around Libra - from tax issues to the hamstringing effect to local economic policy.
@BLOCKTVnews @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry #4 - Can it really bank the unbanked?

This was one of the big questions that characterized day 2 of hearings in Congress. @La__Cuen though took it from a different place and looked at bitcoin use in Cuba as a way to ask how something like Libra might or might not work.
@BLOCKTVnews @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry #3 - The Uncoupling! Bitcoin /= Libra

@Melt_Dem was left to explain the difference between Bitcoin and Libra (or anything like it) to Congress, while folks like @prestonjbyrne made similar points in content. Luckily, there seemed to be much receptivity to the message.
@BLOCKTVnews @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry 2 - The Issue of China

On Day 2, the issue of China burst into the testimony and, as @DoveyWan pointed out, China took notice, with "Libra to compete with Alipay" becoming a trending topic on Weibo.
@BLOCKTVnews @mayazi @La__Cuen @Melt_Dem @prestonjbyrne @DoveyWan @PatrickMcHenry 1 - The Unstoppable Force

Still, there's no doubt that the moment of the hearings went to @PatrickMcHenry. It was clear from that moment that the conversation about Bitcoin was poised to take a new turn in the wake of the hearings. We'll look back at this one.
