Speak the only language they know... this my bros is how it's done!
Bribery, buy them out, fill their coin wallets with lots of cryptocurrency,
show them its magical properties, a Swiss Bank Account on their
phone... they'll never legislate anything against the Crypto-Voluntary
future once they've got a few solid cryptos in their wallet, and will
be too busy checking the price every hour to fuck anything or
anyone else over either, lol ;)

You don't need Regulation to mommy coddle you, what you need
is to wake up and Educate Yourself, then make intelligent choices
in the free market.
US Congressman Says ‘Crypto Bros’ Preventing Legislation by Flooding
Washington With Lobbying Money
US Congressman Brad Sherman is calling out FTX executives for flooding
Washington, D.C. with excessive lobbying efforts that have stymied crypto
regulation legislation.
The Democratic congressman says he now plans to explore federal
legislation that would add regulations to the crypto space after the
collapse of digital asset exchange FTX.
Sherman, who is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Investor Protection and
Capital Markets, says in a statement that regulations on crypto have not
advanced due to the tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions
and lobbying efforts spent by FTX executives.
“In the coming weeks, I also plan to work with my colleagues in Congress
to examine options for federal legislation. To date, efforts by
billionaire crypto bros to deter meaningful legislation by flooding
Washington with millions of dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying
spending have been effective. A great deal of attention has been given to
former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried’s, political donations to Democrats;
most of that was spent in primaries (mostly unsuccessfully), not to help
Democrats beat Republicans. However, we have also seen Ryan Salame, the
co-CEO of Bahamas-based FTX Digital Markets, donate over $23 million to
Republican candidates and campaign groups in 2022.
When you examine FTX efforts to influence Washington, you have to look at
both CEOs, not just the eccentric guy wearing the shorts.”
