You know, it's certainly possible that the stalling tactics to prevent regulatory clarity for digital assets in America are related to the globalists’ CBDC project...

Cash and some “cryptocurrency” offer permission-less, peer-to-peer transactions. Authoritarian control freaks dominate our federal government and seek to ban them both. We must defend freedom and they must fail.
More freedom.

Proof-of-Work > Proof-of-Stake is an understatement. Nevertheless, @SECGov once again chose selective enforcement rather than regulatory action.
@FinancialCmte is now organized with a new Digital Assets Subcommittee. Congress moves way too slowly but change is coming soon.

Congress urgently needs to pass legislation establishing a brightline test for digital assets making clear what is a security and what is not a security. Then it will be clear what can freely trade on exchanges.
Next, clear custody rules (incl self) & certainty for stablecoins. twitter.com/cgasparino/sta…
