Bitcoin FU pumping again - just like over Christmas / early Jan when similar desperate, irrational legislation was attempted to be passed - makes me realize that perhaps having detailed insight into the process, consequences, and efforts to fight it might just make me a midwit 🤷♂️

Its no small task building coalitions, getting amendments sponsored, attempting to educate geriatric oligarchs on the importance of not ruining the best chance our country has to embrace the future & nurture (rather than knee-cap) the most important technology of this millennia…

We are obsessive. We have money. And we globally coordinate unlike any community in history.
Regardless of what happens today, expect every Senator that votes for the Portman/Warner amendment to come up against a well-funded pro-crypto candidate in their next primary.
