Oh man, all I had to do was fill out a form on a website and tell people that staking rewards come from staking? Wish I'd seen this video before paying a $30m fine and agreeing to permanently shut down the service in the US. How dumb do I look. Gosh. ⛽️💡 cnbc.com/video/2023/02/…

Almost six million people watched this.

Embarrassing to watch the United States fumble the ball so hard on crypto The incentive for innovators and businesses is to go abroad It's like if 30 years ago the government saw the internet and said "no, don't do that here"

One time we paid $1 for $1 in stable coins so that we could spend them as $1 later, but evidently we were expecting profits Thanks for teaching us so much about our own motivations, SEC

After 25 years in the CIA:

🇳🇱 Heartbreaking message from a Dutch farmer: “Tonight was the last time we milked our cows. After 90 years, this is it for the organic dairy sector. We aren’t allowed to continue because we were labelled a ‘peak polluter’. We fought for 3 years.” Our government destroys lives.

Circle/Paxos/Tether: “we’re going to hold collateral mostly in cash and T-bills.” Nothing happens. Government: “CRYPTO IS SUPER RISKY.” Banks: “we’re going to hold collateral mostly in longer-dated TradFi bonds.” Banks fail. Government: “SEE, CRYPTO IS SUPER RISKY.”

Dear God. Barney Frank openly admits that Signature was arbitrarily shuttered despite no insolvency because regulators wanted to kill off the last major pro-crypto bank. Colossal scandal cnbc.com/2023/03/13/sig…

Not even trying to hide it… amazing “I think part of what happened was that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message,” said board member and former congressman Barney Frank. cnbc.com/2023/03/13/sig…

YouTube has deleted this interview between Robert F Kennedy Jr and Mike Tyson. In it, RFK JR claimed the CIA assassinated his father.

The entire crypto industry should UNITE against the SEC's latest attack against Binance (🧵) The SEC's complaint accuses CZ 🔶 BNB, #Binance, and affiliates of offering unregistered securities. MAKE NO MISTAKE: This is an attack against the ENTIRE crypto industry.

Wtf happened to America? 250 years ago someone tried to tax their tea and they started a revolution. Today, this guy decides what you’re allowed to do with your own savings.

Being sued by the SEC used to mean you probably did something wrong. Now it means you're probably doing something right.

2 headlines I read in the same sitting - "SEC lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase unifies the crypto industry" and "Jack Dorsey courts controversy by claiming ETH is a security". Unified? Really? Thanks jack you're just what crypto needs right now.

Are centralized exchanges doomed in the US? Everything is doomed in the US. Including the US. #BinanceUS #Coinbase

"SEC lawsuit claims Binance US, Changpeng Zhao put customer funds ‘at significant risk’". Unlike SBF, right Gary Gensler? 😉

The late Daniel Ellsberg on classified documents: "the secrecy system is predominantly to protect from embarrassment and accountability;" that it is a political "system for control," not protection of the public. (via nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opi…)

Take your kids out of school. My jaw actually dropped listening to this adult argue with these kids. The parents of the these kids deserve a medal. The West is collapsing.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Reform Bill? Don't you mean the SEC decriminalization bill? #SEC #GaryGensler
