Perhaps she is trying to protect her tribe from touching the hot fire again. I am not speaking of her Native American tribe but the Democrat tribe. Helicopter political parenting, as perhaps many of the people in this ever popular tribe need to be protected from themselves and their behaviors. Many in her tribe got taken to the cleaners.
Quoting the enclosed link:
“According to a recent survey from venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, the majority of U.S. crypto investors who are registered voters support Democrats.
Among the group of crypto owners, 61% said they voted for President Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate in the 2020 election.
Only 32% said they voted for former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate.
The report suggests that crypto owners make up a
growing constituency in the Democratic Party, with 26% of
self-identified Democrats reporting that they own crypto.”
This definitely requires Congressional investigation, no member of Congress should ever act in their constituents interest, this is absolutely preposterous.
CORRECTION DEM and REP. amazing how easily you have been gamed. by the ruling class. you seem like you would know better, sir or madam. but alas, keep on being played. it’s quite entertaining actually. audience participation in pax dumbphuckistan empire of debt and idiocracy and all the realms.

bitcoin is an obvious collaboration of NSA/CIA……..with professors…………just like darpa net, us highways, manhattan project. just a hi tech version of the ancient blockchain money transfer system of hawala. the middlebrows will figure this all out in another decade or two. if at all. i remember the darpa net. it was like black magic.
Not sure about NSA/CIA – this time. A mix of ideological void, technological incompetence among the youth, and massive amount of government counterfeit money printing combined into a new religion.
Usually when it comes to skullduggery, I first think of NSA/CIA and their British brothers-in-arm, but bitcoin wouldn’t fit into their usual tricks. Oh well, maybe one research project gone wild.
Kind of like Wall Street. CEO Bruce Karatz made a ton of money, selling out of his KB Homes stock, ahead of the retail investors. They got to hold a bag. It also turned out that Goldman Sachs considered their clients to be Muppets. Can’t even trust the mouthpieces at the FED, who are themselves manipulating the market. Yet people are supposed to trust this system, to invest in for retirement.
believing the NY FED is nothing but owned literally by the NYC bankers borders on special needs abilities for anyone who looks under the hood and reads some history.
side benefit to the CIA project was it would be an asset class for hucksters to fleece idiots. the D crypto kids fleecing other D and R idiots around the globe.
No need to do anything. Crypto will collapse into the nothing it came from. I’m thinking of starting a currency based on GUIDs. You can purchase a unique GUID from me and trade it. Each one will be worth a lot because FIAT is a scam and if you don’t get it, you just don’t get it.
One digital ounce of my crypto currency, CanDo, is redeemable in one ounce of cannabis, less 10% validation charge. If you get it, you get high.

follow the laws on currency and money. 1933 FDR making gold illegal for amerikans. 1965 LBJ defaulting on silver in coins. 1971 tricky dick defaulting on gold to foreign banks. all along the peasants go along. digital currency is a lock. brave new world book was correct. amerikans would police themselves, for the state. it is a nation of very soft headed rat finks.
Calls to congress were 100 to 1 or more, against bailing out the banks in 2008. Congress bailed them out, anyway. Doesn’t really matter whether the people want a digital currency or not. All they need is a crisis, to take advantage of, in order to impose it.

Burglars wanting to ban doorlocks. How surprising?
No wonder Putin is so convinced he is, in fact, liberating Ukraine.
He seems to have backed on that. The other day I saw a part of a speech where he compared himself to Peter the Great for having conquered all the lands surrounding the Azov Sea.
I’m sure even Peter the Great thought he was “liberating” whatever he was trampling all over. No different from the US in Iraq, Afghanistan and what not. I doubt Putin is any less delusional.
There’s a real simple test for whether you are liberating or enslaving someone: Hand them parity, or better, in armaments. Then you’ll see exactly how grateful they are. The US founders figured that one out. But they were, unfortunately, members of what looks like a very exclusive group.

I think new regulations on cryptos will just be a part of the new overhaul of Securities laws . High-frequency trading is under scrutiny as well along with a few other practices. It’s about time.
Not yet. It is clearly front-running but very profitable for the big Wall Street firms so they have been able to push back legislation. It is very profitable but also requires heavy investments so once you have made them you essentially have a captured market with guaranteed profits. The participants claim it gives the market liquidity and serve the function that market-makers used to do but in reality the algorithms just follow market trends exacerbating movements rather than countering them.
I remember the “provides liquidity” defenses circa 2008, as well as all the convoluted rationalizations, but there’s no way to explain away the fact that HFT’s constantly extract money when they trade thousands of times/second and almost all trades are profitable.
Another big, and seldom talked about problem with the big banks, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) – allows unregulated trading in futures/derivatives, while no entity is allowed to trade more than 5% of a stocks market cap in the primary markets there’s no limit with futures.
This means an entity could buy into a commodity to push prices higher while positioning into companies with large options positions, short or long, that are effected by said commodity’s price.
As the crypto market is demonstrating, it’s exceptionally easy to baffle most people, even Wall st professionals, when it comes to rules/regulations – and the biggest players/campaign donors use that to their advantage.
NSA and CIA and pentagon already forced or coerced or sponsored the young fellas at google and facebook and twitter……………long long long ago. just like bankers.
When a large pile of money just lands in your lap there is a tendency to gamble a lot with your peers.

FinCEN collects a ton of data from banks, they rarely prosecute any money laundering crimes. Instead, their main purpose seems to be to charge banks and financial institutions with non-compliance of the reporting regulations and extract fines. This leads to more data being submitted, and the amount of useless information quickly approaches 99.9%, making it even harder for FinCEN to find money laundering in there. Rinse and repeat. The $10,000 limit was instituted in the 1970s. How much is that now inflation adjusted? The defacto limit is now actually $3,000 due to the regulation that any “suspicious” cash transaction over $3,000 be reported on a Suspicious Transaction Report.
I truly think this is about control and is not about FTX or it would be brought by a republican not a democrat (beneficiary of FTX/SBF donations). It is government trying to control. If/when we get the warned (conspiracy theory?) gov’t digital currency … it could get interesting (sorry, you can’t buy that steak unless you delete your last tweet). There are so many “off books” transactions that gov’t can never track, this is a bit like spitting in the wind. I know doctors and dentists who trade off service for each other’s families. Thousands in services untaxed every year. I know yoga people and trainers who get some free medical care as they provide service to doctors, chiropractors, … Barter is big. I know countless construction workers and laborers who only take cash. It’s a pain for me (as someone who remodels sometimes) as … if there were alleged payments like this from me, I would not be able to deduct them. I know gov’t wants total control, I think that there will always be ways to get around it.
Goberno means to rule, to govern, to control. Mentes means the mind. Government literally means mind control. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that a narcisistic construct has a name which describes the narcissistic goal. They need to bring out their crypto to track and trace you and keep your neck under the guillotine blade. My mother and my ex were narcissists. Call me Oedipus. I’m sure they have our best interests at heart. This is the government an ignorant and spineless people deserve.
But I like it, it’s so entertaining. Once you understand that all of our institutions, globally, are narcissistic constructs, and you understand narcissism and how to play with systems; it’s just so fun to make a mockery of it all. Narcissists are such fools. Instead of looking inward, and checking your findings with the external reality you have created to see if it serves you; they try and simplify and compress all of reality so that it will fit inside their tiny, mean-spirited, and hilariously ignorant maps of reality. Psychologists usually won’t work with them, because their sickness is self-generated by their belief that the world is a dangerous place, and you should just deny that which you don’t understand; and they ensure that it might be dangerous for others as well. They say you should never provoke them as they have such childish rage. Of course, what do you expect from a person who has never even tried to rule their emotions? However, I’m not a psychologist, but a free and wild man walking through this plantation just mocking their silly rules and burning down their alter egos. Is it dangerous? Not nearly as dangerous as getting on your knees and handing them your mind. I’m a mountain of a man and there’s no way I’m going to bother trying to get into that thimble their ignorant minds have made for my presence. Besides, poking narcissists with a stick is a sport, one I’m pretty gifted at; and everyone knows that if you can’t die doing it, it ain’t no sport.
some parts of US off the books big time. LA and Phoenix and Brooklyn……….where there are tons of undocumented immigrants. but compared to other rich countries, amerikans are total boot lickers. italy and greece has 1/3 of their entire economies under the table. for centuries. mussolini to meloni. amerikans might grow a pair in another couple of centuries.
The fossils running things didn’t think it was important. Now they do. Article 1 sections 8 and 10 of the Constitution makes it plain the Federal government controls the currency with an exception for gold and silver coins. Regulation was coming. The whiz kids just provided the motivation.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 is exactly what I mean.
Bitcoin/Crypto should never have marketed itself as currency in the first place, Congress should have stopped it a decade ago, I get that they never saw it as a threat, and it never got big enough to be one, but still, the Constitution is crystal clear.
Thieves are, in spite of what gullible children fed a steady diet “supervillains” are told to believe; never the sharpest tools in the shed. If they were, they would be capable of feeding themselves by other means than stealing from their betters.
It’s, at a minimum, a sign of something good, that the threat to the thieves’ so far entirely unchallenged ability to rob and harass at absolute arbitrary will, has now grown to the point where even the imbeciles themselves are becoming aware of it. That growth is a good sign. Even if the; as always simultaneously totalitarian and plainly idiotic; measures the trash will; short term; no doubt take to protect their current privilege to rob their betters at will, will lead to even crasser and more reckless harassment of the more intelligent people the thieves’ entire existence depend on robbing.
