It would be a historic mistake to slap Bitcoin miners with a 30% tax that is a de facto ban. The U.S. is a global leader in innovation, let's keep it that way. cointelegraph.com/news/biden-is-…

About every 4 years, the programmed amount of Bitcoin created every 10 minutes is cut in half, aka the “Halving.” This ensures the supply is always increasing relative to the amount being created. Supply & demand is the basis of economics and Bitcoin is no different.

Today's Halving is extra special because for the first time ever Bitcoin will become more scarce than gold. Bitcoin continues to prove itself as a store of value and the Halving is a key reason why. Happy Halving!

Happy Halving! The 'Halving' is one of Bitcoin’s ingenious features that creates scarcity and value, in the same way that scarcity in gold creates value. So, what exactly is the Halving? And, why is today’s extra special?

The Bitcoin network has a programmed schedule to create new Bitcoin approximately every 10 minutes for “miners” protecting the network with powerful computers. This mining process uses energy to create new bitcoins, just like gold miners use energy to extract more gold.

CBDC would give the federal government absolute control over your money. This is a dangerous threat to freedom. It is critical that we work to protect the American people from government tyranny & that we never allow the creation of CBDC in America. x.com/GOPMajorityWhi…

@CramerSez CBDC will be the death knell of America and freedom as we once knew it. Buy gold, silver, guns, ammo and livestock!

Jefferson Shreve, Running for US House Of Representatives in the 6th district of IN (R)

Quoted from shreveforcongress.com on Mar 15th, 2024


Jefferson Shreve's campaign website highlights a specific focus on the issues page, Make the U.S. a Leader in Digital Innovation. 

"Congress and the Biden Administration have failed to prepare the U.S. for the growing digital economy. I’ll work to provide certainty and stability to the industry through clear and transparent regulation, so cryptocurrency innovation remains anchored on U.S. shores and Hoosiers can invest and transact with confidence.  

I’ll pursue future-oriented, fiscally sound monetary policies, and work to avoid burdensome or unnecessary Security and Exchange Commission regulations concerning cryptocurrencies and other block-chain tools."

@samfbiddle @theintercept This misses the point: Crypto currency is an oxymoron. A currency is a product and creation of a functioning State. No private company or individual should be permitted to create any alternative currency in the US$. This is libertarian madness. broadhurstforcongress.com

If you don’t think the Fed is pursuing a CBDC, think again. The Fed gave this to my staff during a presentation earlier this Congress. They view a CBDC as one of their KEY DUTIES. pic.twitter.com/0LcdWBKk58

The White House 2025 budget is incredibly bullish on crypto assets, some might even say they believe it’s going to the moon.🚀 But a proposed 30% punitive tax on digital asset mining would destroy any foothold the industry has in America.

The banks and globalists will push a CBDC on the proletariat and this is one of the greatest threats to liberty. On January 17, in NH, President Trump said he would never allow a CBDC. IMO, if you want freedom in your future, you should be stacking gold and silver. x.com/GenFlynn/statu…
