NEWS FLASH: even though you may not, there are a lot of people who need #Bitcoin .

₿radley Rettler reminds policymakers that their treatment of #Bitcoin could stand between people on the margin and their lifeline.

Alternative headline: Republicans just voted UNANIMOUSLY to change laws that have been in place since a decade after the country's founding.

Yesterday, the US House of Representatives voted in favour of a bill to repeal SAB 121, the SEC’s guidance that effectively blocks banks from offering crypto custody.

Also yesterday, the White House said it would veto the bill.

This is more than nuts, it is alarming, and shows…

We cannot hand this issue to the Republicans.

Digital assets shouldn’t be a partisan issue. I’m going to continue working in a bipartisan way to support Web3 so that we can protect American consumers and keep #blockchain and #crypto innovation in the United States.

I produced a half-hour animated overview of the Broken Money subject matter.

It covers the history of money, the development of banking, and how new technology changes the way we interact with money over time.

Some: 'Broken money is the best.'

Some others: 'Resistance money is the best.'

Me: 'I'll have the combo, please.'

One reason to focus on bitcoin in research and policy is its strong network effects. Another is that bitcoin is a vital tool for human rights activist — no mere speculative plaything. ₿radley Rettler explains.

This is my favourite Bitcoin book of all time, narrowly beating Lyn Alden’s book Broken Money.

The book is balanced, fair and comprehensive.

The chapter “Against Bitcoin” is outstanding.

It’s a masterpiece.

Congratulations Andrew M. Bailey Craig Warmke ₿radley Rettler 👏

Congress likes to act my work isn’t important.

Well check this.

On Feb 7, Representative Markwayne Mullin bought $30k in Badger Meters, $BMI. They produce automated water tech.

Mullin represents Oklahoma, and Oklahoma announced they are upgrading their water meters.

What’s…

'Resistance Money' is going to be a pretty cool bitcoin book. Many people are saying this -- at least, Troy Cross is!

High praise from a guy who's read pretty much everything in crypto.

We clearly need much stricter food stamp regulations. Let’s erect lots of barriers to make it hard for criminals to use food stamps. ID requirements and such.

No, that’s ridiculous. So also with bitcoin.

When powerful lawmakers rage against non-custodial wallets, they are not striking a blow against 'big crypto'. Rather, they oppose little crypto — normal people keeping money themselves instead of in the pockets of a corporation.

I'd like to just say that you guys rock, and by 'you guys', I'm referring to Craig Warmke Andrew M. Bailey & ₿radley Rettler .

This truly was a great presentation.
