America’s largest union federation, AFL-CIO, has opposed proposed crypto market legislation as “the perfect environment for the next financial crisis to germinate”. Whether anyone’s read the letter yet is another question, because the shutdown is stalling legislative work.
The crypto bill faces an awkward snag — its top lobbyist is married to the FTC Commissioner Trump tried to fire.
“I think it’s ironic that one of the Trump admin’s more monarchical acts six months ago is going to potentially blow up one of their major legislative projects.”

The SEC also had to pause trading for one of these crypto treasury companies after potential market manipulation rocketed the stock price 2,000%. Looks like some people forgot the stock market still frowns on the kind of games common in crypto.

Tai Lopez, a self-help guru who once tried to sell $200,000+ NFTs that gave buyers the chance to join him to watch a 2-hour movie of his choice, has been accused of running a Ponzi scheme. He’s also the guy behind the ill-fated RadioShack crypto rebrand.

Coinbase has launched a campaign claiming that “big banks want another bailout”. Those worried about bailouts should probably worry more about poorly regulated crypto firms integrating themselves into the financial system.

Crypto lending — a major factor in the 2022 crypto meltdown — is having a comeback. In fact, one crypto lender just hired the guy accused of bankrupting BlockFi after he extended a huge line of credit to FTX based on a pinky swear.

Trump has officially pulled Brian Quintenz’s CFTC Chair nomination after he refused to be the Winklevoss twins’ bulldog.
“They completely nuked him. They made a phone call. They were like, ‘This is not going to fly with us.’ And it was a very short trip from there to [the nomination] being killed.”

@molly0xfff I generally don't think we should fully conflate Trump, his $ETH based $TRUMP "coin" and Bitcoin $BTC. Even with that said i do believe he is using blockchains to get bribes.

Davvero una lettura affascinante. Un bel libro di sociologia/politica che cerca di evidenziare molti dei problemi sociali di oggi, e del capitalismo.
>> Non mi sembra plausibile la tesi secondo la quale gli effetti del dominio
sono talmente diluiti (nella moderna società capitalistica ndr) da far sparire la realtà dello sfruttamento: i dati ci
indicano quantomeno che la povertà non diminuisce in Europa.
