The Coldcard hack sucks, but if you’re one of the NYKNYC purists who mocked Celsius & FTX victims, today seems like a good day to work on your humility.

🤣 ā€œor will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank?ā€
More than a year ago, the House passed the Clarity Act. There’s been progress since — thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations took place at the staff and Member levels. The Senate Committees on Banking and Agriculture advanced their respective titles. And Senate Republicans produced a floor-ready product that, as I type this, is waiting for a vote. It’s disappointing — but not surprising — that Senate Democrats are choosing politics on the cusp of a major victory for American leadership. Find another instance in history where Congress, when given the choice, opted to push an industry out of the United States rather than smartly regulate it. American Exceptionalism was once a bipartisan goal; if Clarity fails, I have serious doubts. These same Democrats — many of whom have taken millions of dollars from the crypto industry — proclaim that Clarity lacks safeguards for consumers and falls short in countering illicit finance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Titles II and III materially uplift regulatory and compliance obligations for digital asset intermediaries, placing them on similar footing with traditional financial institutions. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act — which Washington lobbyists have spun up as a boogeyman for certain groups of prosecutors and law enforcement — does nothing other than codify longstanding Treasury Department policy that’s remained consistent across Administrations: non-custodial builders and developers are not, and have never been, subject to registration obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it. The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the ā€œAnti-Crypto Armyā€ she once promised to build. In the days ahead, Leader Thune will put this theory to the test. Will Senate Democrats be on the side of American Exceptionalism, or will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank? America will lead or America won’t. It’s not more complicated than that. I believe Satoshi once said it best: ā€œIf you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.ā€

This was, undoubtedly, the most dramatic finish to the Tour de France since Greg Lemond snatched the yellow jersey from Laurent Fignon by 8 seconds. Chapeau, Mathieu—that was insane.

Tuned into @LeTour and was losing my mind that Seixas was 4+ mins up on Del Toro, but Tadej wasn’t dropping back to help his bro. Made no sense. French reporters also not freaking out about Seixas moving up to 3rd. šŸ¤” Afterwards I hear times were taken w/ 41K to go. LAME!

England spent 85 minutes building a semifinal win and five minutes reminding us why pencils have erasers. Argentina seems to have won this one without FIFA’s help. #worldcup

Why is it ā€˜cancelled’ in the U.K. but ā€˜canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

I’ve done my fair share of cursing at ChatGPT over its dumb shit, but after seeing this, I’ve concluded it’s all a giant troll. Rick Astley and Do Kwon are gonna’ pop out of a cake and then Solana’s gonna’ crash to $0.

So the Catholic Church opposes the Clarity Act? šŸ¤” Reminds of how George Wallace opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. šŸ¤” Pass the Clarity Act, so we can stop the pedophiles from moving money anonymously.
A coalition of Catholic organizations and leaders warned Senate leadership today that crypto market structure legislation "could weaken safeguards against illicit finance and create vulnerabilities that traffickers and transnational criminal organizations may exploit."

Banks calling stablecoin competition 'regulatory evasion' is like taxi companies calling Uber a safety hazard. Maybe. Or maybe you just don't want the competition. The Clarity Act should be judged on whether it's good for users — not whether it's good for incumbents.
