Here's more from Warren who takes bribes from the very same
banks she claims to regulate, no different than any other
common swamp rat...
Elizabeth Warren is pushing the Senate to ban your crypto wallet...
https://cointelegraph.com/news/elizabeth-warren-is-pushing-the-senate-to-ban-your-crypto-wallet
tldr; Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is once again smearing
the cryptocurrency industry and attempting to make Americans more
dependent on big banks. Warren is wrong when she says that
cryptocurrency is “the method of choice for international drug
traffickers” and terrorists. Only about $10 billion or less in
cryptocurrency is involved with money laundering each year, compared
with $800 billion to $2 trillion in conventional currencies.
The bill is particularly harsh on decentralized finance (DeFi),
including noncustodial ones, requiring platforms to record the
personal information of users and submit it to the government without
a warrant or probable cause.
https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/elizabeth-warren/industries?cid=N00033492&cycle=2016
Elizabeth received ~500K in donations from big banks in her 2016 or
2018 senate race. It was talked about in 2018 here and the bitcoin
sub, the donation list was posted. She has been anti crypto for a
while and the donations may give a clue as to why ~2M from sector
including banking, ~ 530K from sector including banking...
"If you research her story, she´s actually quite anti-banking. I guess
she jumped into the bandwagon due to the anticrypto hypr we saw with
FTX, and the overall mainstream reputation for being shady, and she
wants to pose/PR herself as "the savior of the people from greedy and
corrupt schemes"...
This is what chatgpt gave me:
Elizabeth Warren is a Democratic senator from Massachusetts who is
known for her progressive views and her criticism of the finance
industry. She has advocated for more regulation and oversight of
banks, private equity firms, and other financial institutions, as well
as for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Some of her ties
to the finance industry are:
She was a professor of law at Harvard University, where she taught
courses on bankruptcy, contracts, and commercial law. She also wrote
several books and articles on consumer protection, financial
regulation, and economic inequality.
She was the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was created in 2008 to
oversee the $700 billion bailout of the financial sector after the
global financial crisis. She was critical of the lack of transparency
and accountability of the program and the banks that received the
funds.
She was the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB), which was established in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The CFPB is an independent
agency that aims to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or
abusive practices by financial companies. Warren was appointed by
President Barack Obama as a special advisor to set up the agency, but
she was not confirmed as its director due to opposition from
Republicans and some Democrats.
She ran for the Senate in 2012 and defeated incumbent Republican
Scott Brown. Since then, she has been a vocal advocate for financial
reform and consumer rights. She has introduced several bills to curb
the power and influence of Wall Street, such as the 21st Century
Glass-Steagall Act, which would separate commercial and investment
banking; the Accountable Capitalism Act, which would require large
corporations to obtain a federal charter and consider the interests of
all stakeholders; and the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, which would
impose new rules and taxes on private equity firms.
She ran for president in 2020 and campaigned on a platform of
“big, structural change” that included a wealth tax, a Green New Deal,
Medicare for All, and breaking up big tech companies. She also
proposed an “economic patriotism” agenda that would prioritize the
interests of American workers and consumers over those of
multinational corporations and financial elites. She dropped out of
the race in March 2020 after failing to win any state primaries or
caucuses.
I guess that if someone educates her and lobbies her a bit, she could
be swayed into a strong candidate for a potential future ally for
crpto acceptance; since blockchain solves many of the things she
doesnt like in the current banking system."

of people wear political colors (be it blue or red) like a dress to
further their own ambitions. the rules she sets, she never has to

People don’t even know how to think anymore nowadays. If people just

and make a change things would be very different.
The whole school, degree, 9-5, family, kids, pension, and so on are

I'd be more outraged by the scams targeting elders that couldn't remit
in crypto with a gun to their head, but that's me.
I've met numerous people that have been scammed by fake IRS calls, car
warranty scams, impersonating medical practitioners, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if Walmart gift cards represented a higher
dollar figure in ill-gotten funds than crypto.
Politicians love to place the world's problems on newer technologies
to disguise their incompetence, among other things.

Absolutely this. She actually made a lot of negative statements
against banks and bailouts over the years. But she's just in this
weird(and stupid imo) place whether she rejects banks but also rejects
crypto.
As you say she pushes the progressive image but basically she rejects
everything that is popular to reject and stands on nothing. Which is
ironically the worse of all worlds because the traditional finance
system, while bad, is better than no financial system at all.

Her problem with the banks was the same as her problem with crypto:
she wants complete control and regulation of both. This is the heart
of modern progressive big govt politics.
Crypto is everything they hate. The only reason it’s getting more
attention now, is it’s getting bigger. When it’s too big to ignore,
that’s when things will get spicy

This.
Texas recently introduced a bill proposing to protect Bitcoin holders
and miners: "Shall know by this resolution that the Bitcoin economy is
welcome in Texas...citizens shall always feel free and safe in their
ownership and use of Bitcoin in the state of Texas."
Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz also introduced bills to ban CBDC's, which
is a massive pro-crypto move

If you research her story, she´s actually quite anti-banking. I guess
she jumped into the bandwagon due to the anticrypto hypr we saw with
FTX, and the overall mainstream reputation for being shady, and she
wants to pose/PR herself as "the savior of the people from greedy and
corrupt schemes"...
This is what chatgpt gave me:
Elizabeth Warren is a Democratic senator from Massachusetts who is
known for her progressive views and her criticism of the finance
industry. She has advocated for more regulation and oversight of
banks, private equity firms, and other financial institutions, as well
as for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Some of her ties
to the finance industry are:
She was a professor of law at Harvard University, where she taught
courses on bankruptcy, contracts, and commercial law. She also wrote
several books and articles on consumer protection, financial
regulation, and economic inequality.
She was the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was created in 2008 to
oversee the $700 billion bailout of the financial sector after the
global financial crisis. She was critical of the lack of transparency
and accountability of the program and the banks that received the
funds.
She was the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB), which was established in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The CFPB is an independent
agency that aims to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or
abusive practices by financial companies. Warren was appointed by
President Barack Obama as a special advisor to set up the agency, but
she was not confirmed as its director due to opposition from
Republicans and some Democrats.
She ran for the Senate in 2012 and defeated incumbent Republican
Scott Brown. Since then, she has been a vocal advocate for financial
reform and consumer rights. She has introduced several bills to curb
the power and influence of Wall Street, such as the 21st Century
Glass-Steagall Act, which would separate commercial and investment
banking; the Accountable Capitalism Act, which would require large
corporations to obtain a federal charter and consider the interests of
all stakeholders; and the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, which would
impose new rules and taxes on private equity firms.
She ran for president in 2020 and campaigned on a platform of
“big, structural change” that included a wealth tax, a Green New Deal,
Medicare for All, and breaking up big tech companies. She also
proposed an “economic patriotism” agenda that would prioritize the
interests of American workers and consumers over those of
multinational corporations and financial elites. She dropped out of
the race in March 2020 after failing to win any state primaries or
caucuses.
I guess that if someone educates her and lobbies her a bit, she could
be swayed into a strong candidate for a potential future ally for
crpto acceptance; since blockchain solves many of the things she
doesnt like in the current banking system.

Well she's not dumb because she has written books about personal
finance. Probably, because she knows that trad fi is a way to maintain
the status quo while crypto intends to shake up control of wealth.
Trad Fi also helps keep developing nations developing, why the second
largest economy is considered a developing economy.
Personally I'm very skeptical of neo libs turned progressive, these
are the same people who think paper straws are going to solve climate
change, while selling the same plastic straws to China, who then throw
it in the ocean anyway.

Doesn't look like many read this shit tier article.
Ban is only mentioned in the headline, not the article.
The proposed legislation would require some anti-money laundering policies.
Kinda debatable on viability or necessity, but this is a smear
article. That's it. Particularly when they try to say she wants you to
get cozy with big banks when pretty much her whole deal is going after
big banks and corrupt finance.

The sad part is that so many of the people making these comments get
their knowledge of the space from crypto influencers and articles like
this, and know very little about the projects in which they are
investing…let alone about Elizabeth Warren. The idea that she is in
bed with big banking is so laughable.
It’s one big dumb circle jerk here and while they bitch and moan about
proposed regulation like this, they will continue to get the rug
pulled out from under them investing in DeFi Ponzi schemes and the
like. The idea of proposing some anti-money laundering protections
isn’t a bad idea, but clearly Wareen needs more education about this
issue and is coming up with solutions from a perspective of fighting
corruption in a centralized banking system.
One part of the article I agree with is that she does not seem to
understand the difference between cryptocurrency and blockchain, and
if what she introduced was passed as-is, it could hurt innovation.
There’s potential in all of it. DeFi is super interesting, but people
need to know what they are investing in…and people have proven time
and time again that they don’t.
Some regulation is needed in order to move the industry forward, and
it seems really naive to think that the private sector will act
responsibly enough to regulate itself.

Crypto has a real cultist mentality that is legit scary, even the more
moderate spaces like this sub (compared to /r/Bitcoin etc...) is full
of it. It creates an insular community that lives in an Us-vs-Them
fantasy which allows them to dismiss any criticism without even

Ultimately the same ignorance they show towards everyone who wants to
regulate the same is the same exact ignorance that gets them caught in
known and documented scams. Virtually every crypto scam is a banking
scam that was regulated against (many nearly centuries old). Their
support for their currencies monetary value over it's actual
usefulness in turn just pushes them further into the deep end of scam
territory and now every banking scam we've ever seen as well as every
stock exchange scam we've ever seen is being pulled on ignorant crypto
supporters. The politicians they are shitting on are literally trying
to save their money from going into Saudi and Russian oligarchs hands.
Like everyone says, the value in cryptocurrency is in the underlying
technology not the monetary value. That's why the biggest investment
advice is to only invest in coins with solid underlying tech. That
tech will someday be implemented into our currency all across the
globe whether we like it or not and the name it takes really isn't
going to matter. All that matters is that we focus on promoting the
good aspects of it. Avoiding the governments of the world is not the
primary concern. The primary concern is being able to securely hold
and access all of your assets without needing to rely on a private
institution such as a bank to allow you access to them. As we've seen
very recently private institutions fail due to human error all of the
time.
The bad actors turn the crypto discussion towards avoiding governing
bodies far too much and really damage the reputation of cryptocurrency
as a whole. It's always been a battle against the big banks of the
world first and foremost.

tldr; Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is once again smearing
the cryptocurrency industry and attempting to make Americans more
dependent on big banks. Warren is wrong when she says that
cryptocurrency is “the method of choice for international drug
traffickers” and terrorists. Only about $10 billion or less in
cryptocurrency is involved with money laundering each year, compared
with $800 billion to $2 trillion in conventional currencies.

They can't ban it though. The best part of non-custodial wallets and
dapps that have no custodial ownership is that they can't be banned,
can't be removed, and can't force people to not use them.
I'd even go as far as saying it's unconstitutional to tell people that
they can't spend their money a certain way, especially if it's not
illegal. They would have to outlaw the use of cryptocurrencies in the
United States and that would be hilariously bad for their
technological future.

Many of you may want to consider her debate committees, for why she’s

system, which I would think all you libertarian house cats would be
rock hard over.
Anytime you see such a concerted effort to smear someone, it’s
typically a corporate smear campaign because they are moving the
needle. Look at the patterns of diminutive use of her name (Liz vs
Elizabeth) and how often they bring up dumb shit Indian references.
Check out her ACTUAL record on banking reform. Let the house cats meow

Ugh. So fucking tired reading about this person and her anti-crypto
crusade. Give it a rest, Warren. You have your wealth; shut up and
step down.

Elizabeth received ~500K in donations from big banks in her 2016 or
2018 senate race. It was talked about in 2018 here and the bitcoin
sub, the donation list was posted. She has been anti crypto for a
while and the donations may give a clue as to why
https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/elizabeth-warren/industries?cid=N00033492&cycle=2016
2016 - ~2M from sector including banking.

Sure, good luck with that.
Bet they'd still try to tax any gains on top of it.

"It prohibits the use of digital asset mixers and requires self-hosted
wallets — like the kind you keep on your cell phone"
I think the title of this post is misleading. This says personal
wallets are cool.

Step 1: Replace the exchanges with those of the legacy financial system (stock).
Step 2: Remove your ability for self-custody.
They want the price of crypto to be what they want it to be when they
want it to be.

Friendly reminder that THE RESTRICT ACT IS NOT A TIK TOK BAN. It will
give American government tools to ban any technology it doesnt like or
doesnt control. This bill (S.686 2023-2024) entails STRICT Monitoring
& policing of the following things: -Home WiFi & Internet (includes
wired) -Your personal Phone, Computer, Smart -Devices, Security
Cameras, Game Consoles ANYTHING you have than connects to the
internet. -Social Media Platforms & Websites with 1 Million users
-Your payments on internet banking. PayPal, Cash App, Vermont etc.
-Your Small business website, Etsy Store, TeeSpring store etc
-Spreading of any information the US Government deems as false. -Can
ban TVShows, Music, Games anything deemed unfit by the Government and
much more, basically anything that is "on the grid" will be monitored.
(Apps, Texts, Videos, ect) -Anything can and will get banned if the
Government sees fit.
Not adhering to any guidelines set in place (Example: Using a VPN to
acess banned content or even helping someone to get a VPN for said
purpose) can result in jail time up to 20 years & fines up to
$1,000,000 USD.
Any application that has more than 1 million people using it can be
censored or banned by the government. Officially, the bill says
foreign technologies that pose a national threat. That is very broad
(on purpose) because a domestic app, for example, Reddit, that may
have foreign technology utilized (hardware or software) could be
considered censorable or able to be banned.
It goes further to restrict citizens ability to gain information about
how or why a technology may be considered restricted.
Even using something like a VPN is covered in this bill, making it
felonious and punishable by prison and/or 250,000 dollar fine. Even
telling someone how to use a VPN if the VPN will be used for accessing
contraband technology.
Again, there is no accountability required so who knows how
egregiously that may be utilized? Because the freedom of information
act will not be usable to gain information about any of said banning
or criminal charges.
In addition, it’s also self protective that it’s only limitation is
that a future Secretary of State may not call for any investigations
regarding how the law was used.
It is akin to the Patriot Act all over again—but with our ability to
communicate en masse throughout the world
And yes, your cryptocurrency is also in this hit list.

This is ridiculous and makes me see her as someone that pretends to
help people but in fact is just trying to use that as a way to get in
legislation for the people she says she is protecting us against.
Taking access from how people store their crypto will do nothing for
money laundering because most of the laundering happens in the regular
banking system and has nothing to do with crypto. Money laundering
existed before crypto and while since it is a new financial system and
has a new set of vulnerability to money laundering her total rejection
of crypto shows how misled or intentionally manipulative she is.
Crypto is something that sprouted out of the last financial collapse
where people were desperate to find a way to protect themselves from a
banking system that sees there customers as prey and uses penalties,
fee, seizes assets, freezes assets, blocks withdrawals, processes
payments before deposits, hold funds unavailable except a nominal
amount and conducts surveillance of all our purchases and give us
nothing for that information and of course needed 14 trillion to stay
liquid after stealing all the funds from their depositors. Now we are
on the verge of another banking collapse driven by once again over
leveraging that was promoted by the last bailout and we are making the
richest depositors in the world whole??? Are you kidding me, really
are you kidding me. So we are to believe that me holding digital coins
I bought with the money I earned honestly is a crime because I won’t
deposit it in a bank that does nothing but abuse me. Remember when the
people in the south decided to stop using the bus to protest civil
inequality since they were the main customers and how bad it got for
them???? Well guess what I’m not riding the proverbial bus and if you
take crypto away I’ll find another way, mark my word here and forever
that if you do that then we will invent something and something after
that into eternity to avoid riding that bus ever again. Time is up!
Time is up! This is the motto for all these greedy money hoarders

Once again Elizabeth Warren is on the warpath against crypto. We have
the SEC, the CFTC and now the banking industry trying cut U.S.
population from accessing crypto.
Just watched a video on r/Cardano where Charles Hoskinson narrates the
highlights of a Washington, D.C. law firm’s revelations about how the
U.S. banking industry is trying to prohibit access to crypto with a
program known as Choke Point 2.0.
Posted a few hours ago, the 12 minute long video is very relevant to
the entire crypto community and no mention of Cardano. Here’s a link
to YouTube:
Cooper and Kirk Choke Point 2.0
TLDR: Banks hate crypto. Banks want to stop investment in crypto
business. Banks do not want you to buy crypto.
