Last year President @realDonaldTrump nominated acting @USOCC Comptroller @BrianBrooksOCC to a full 5-year term. As I understand it, that nomination expired at the end of last year. On Jan. 3, Trump re-nominated Brooks to a full term again whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
Judy Shelton's nomination to the @federalreserve has also been sent back to the Senate, as has been Robert Benedict Bowes to succeed @CFTCquintenz, who announced his departure last year
The Senate meets Jan 6 to certify the Nov election results (every political reporter I follow on Twitter says it'll be a "circus" so don't expect too much on these noms). After that, the Senate doesn't reconvene till Jan 20, when @JoeBiden is sworn in rollcall.com/2020/12/22/sen…
IE I'll ask around this week but not sure how far these nominations are expected to go

A huge chunk of the public comments on the FinCEN rule claim it violates the 4th Amendment. Anyone able to say how accurate that is? My guess is FinCEN's lawyers would have checked for that but I am not a lawyer so would appreciate confirmation/refutation
My hot take is the old regulations.gov site > beta.regulations.gov because it shows you comment previews
A lot of these comments are just some variation of "I don't like it"

Had some technical difficulties but I am now tuned into #bitcoinforadvisors, where @Liqquidity is interviewing @eervin1, @jdorman81 and @DaveNadig about bitcoin ETFs
ETFs are a more liquid version of mutual funds, which is why they originally took off @jdorman81 says #bitcoinforadvisors
A bitcoin ETF will "probably happen at some point" but by that point it might not matter as much @jdorman81 says #Bitcoinforadvisors

Hey folks. There will be a hearing today in 30 minutes and I'm going to live-tweet it for @CoinDesk. You know the drill, thread starts here. Preview: coindesk.com/witnesses-will…
.@BankingGOP Chairman @MikeCrapo says some believe traditional financial payment systems are limited in how broadly they can expand userbase because they require pre-existing bank accounts/cards.

SOON: I'll be live-tweeting today's @FSCDems / @FinancialCmte hearing on FedAccounts and digital tools for stimulus payments with @iamsandali. You know the drill, thread for @CoinDesk starts here in 45 minutes 👇 #CryptoInDC
I've written a lot of digital dollar articles huh
We're getting started. @RepStephenLynch is kicking things off, asking members to keep their video on at all times, and noting that Congress has already passed one set of stimulus payments for $1,200: "That was all with the intent to provide immediate relief."

Next topic is calculating fair market value. Wang of the AICPA said she recommends the IRS set out some specific guidance on how to calculate FMV (and referenced @coindesk's Bitcoin Price Index in the process) #IRScrypto
There needs to be some guidance around what a qualfied appraiser is or looks like, Wang says #IRScrypto
Say you're donating 1 BTC. It's > $5,000 so you'd maybe need an appraiser but why not just average the price on some exchanges, an audience member asks #IRScrypto

Good morning folks. The IRS is holding a crypto summit today and I'll be attending for @coindesk. Thread starts here. Need some context? Here ya go: coindesk.com/the-irs-is-inv… #IRScrypto
Here's today's agenda #IRScrypto
We haven't formally begun yet, but some audience members are asking questions they'd like to see addressed. One member asked if the IRS would respond to the GAO report (see: coindesk.com/irs-refused-to…) #IRScrypto
