Wow, so there actually is a conspiracy? That explains a lot.
[the memo] included the reminder that all crypto assets, just like
what the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Gary
Gensler previously said, are securities.
Wait, now it's all of them?

Shortly after that it says the memo states "most are securities".
Poorly written article.

She avoids any and all investments which could potentially
represent a conflict of interest, including crypto — and believes her
fellow lawmakers should do the same. source

No surprises here really; this is consistent with both the 'all of

ex-administration staffer's admission of the plan to 'crowd out'
crypto.
I'm not American, but given the flow-on impacts of this sort of thing,
I do hope Americans can get off their collectively ample asses and
make some appropriate noises to their elected representatives.
Good luck, Americans!

The U.S. government does not respond to its citizens unless it's
convenient. About 80% of American citizens have wanted term limits
since the '80's and it cleanly passes party lines.

Conceptually, yes. The original idea behind securities regulation was
that a bunch of snake oil salesmen were selling equity in random
investments and the public rubes were getting fleeced.
Reality is that each coin or token is usually created by a small set
of developers and then pitched and marketed to the public to enrich
the creators. Why not have laws protecting investors from this kind of
shit?

Kind of clickbait. Basically the memo said “we need more regulations
to protect investors and stop scammers” then some guy tweeted “They
are trying to kill crypto!”.
Bottom line is the average investors need to feel safe for crypto to
grow. Also heightened regulation could open the door for more
institutional investors.

to grow. Also heightened regulation could open the door for more
institutional investors.
By declaring all crypto assets a security and essentially driving a
stake through the industry, ie making a permission system out of a
permissionless system. If you want to trade your freedom for
"security", then you will ultimately have neither.

It's supposed to be digital "cash" without centralized oversight from
potentially corrupt officials.
So yes, what you said and what others said. Do you believe your peer
to peer cash trades should be monitored and taxed on? I'm sure you'll
say, "yeah I'm such a good citizen!", Yet I'm 100% sure you've done
such things and didn't report on your taxes.
You have a right to have your cash trade hands and not have the
government or anyone constantly up your ass about it. Tired of this,
"wah you just want to avoid taxes!" Argument.

More like undeclared in a cash/currency sense. In other words, no
using it as payments to anyone of any kind. Basically, just turning
all crypto into literal stocks to be held and traded on exchanges.

It absolutely is and you're in denial if you believe otherwise. Giving

where the majority of support for crypto is coming from, in terms of

This will go down like the new york bitlicense 9 years ago. Almost
nobody complies, the industry gets killed off in that jurisdiction,
consumers get harmed, and crypto continues on in other jurisdictions.
They thought at the time that crypto "needed" new york since it's a
financial center. Now they seem to think the same about the US.

Unfortunately the US is the largest economy by far, and having stiffer

crypto market. This is not good news.
There are plenty of democrats and republicans that are pro crypto,
it’s important to reach out to your representatives to state where you

We've already been seeing their "plan" for an indirect ban in action
for many months now:
dishonest abusive litigation without clear regulation
letting bad actors prosper to sabotage reputation to the public
while targeting the most reputable ones in priority
energy fud for POW
security fud for POS + censorship takeover through pression on
centralized stakers
IMF blackmail on foreign countries
The next years are the true test of fire for Bitcoin and crypto in general.

I agree, and i think the US is making a mistake attacking it too
frontally: if we assume their objective is to subdue the threat it
represents, it was far better to lure crypto in to better take control
in more indirect ways. And it was heading this way before they started
this more agressive "war" in the past year.
Now by chasing it away they'll lose leverage. They seem to be
confident that they can bruteforce it. Time will tell if it was
arrogance or not.

Agreed, if the witch hunt season is on, we all know well how America’s
going to deploy a massive strategy to fight the major validators/node

Even so, they can’t fight the whole world working on decentralization

The Democrats have become more autocratic than the Republicans :P I'm
fairly certain a majority of them do not know the definition of
"democracy" nor "representative." I'm not a fan of either party, but
the left needs to change it's name to something that actually
describes the system they are trying to build, because it's not a

You can be arrested for speech that is considered offensive or hate
speech in some states. It hasn't devolved in the US at the rate it has
in the UK (my other citizenship) where comedians are being jailed for
making nazi jokes and the government is seeking criminalize table-talk
(in Scotland). I'm more referring to censoring it off of the internet
and the like, however.
What Republicans do doesn't justify democrats doing the same shit. My
point is they are both the same thing: a group of people willing to
falsify information to justify their own beliefs and impose their idea
of a model society on everyone else. Both take power from the people
and both point to the other to justify what they've done. The fact
that any time one side wins an election the other starts preparing for
a doomsday event is proof that they've all got too much power. They're
supposed to be representatives. Instead they're a means for one
ideological extreme to colonial-europe the other and everyone in
between them.

Well we can start with attempts to censor speech and social media,
installing kill switches in all vehicles manufactured after 2027 for
the police to use (passed as part of Biden's economic agenda),
centralization of government, centralization of the use of force
(attempts at firearm bans), attempts (and success in california) of
banning PC configurations (requires all OEM pc's be configured to use
less power at the expense of processing power), faking statistics or
blackmailing organizations to not post statistics to complement the
beliefs they push, faking political candidates to divide the
republican vote in like that two states now? Pushing a CBDC that
enables them to track all purchases and freeze funds as they please.
The UK already does something similar without CBDCs in that they can
prevent people from purchasing things they don't like but aren't
illegal. There is no independence from the system they are trying to
force everyone into. You want processing power, you rent it from the
cloud and they can see what you do. You want to attend a protest?
That's fine but your car will die when you cross the geofence they've
set up, or the cops will kill your car on the freeway and check you
out. Someone going to rape you? Call a cop and wait 20 minutes. Can't
call me paranoid on that last one, an intruder broke in our house and
stabbed my dog and was chased off with a 9mm. Called the police and
they asked what we wanted them to do about it and never came to the
house. That pistol is now an assault weapon in some states, and all
states if Dems get their way. Republicans also suck but pretending
like what the democrats do is ok because Republicans did X is a
fucking joke.

tldr; The Democratic Party's House committee members reportedly
received a memo prior to this week's hearing on digital assets
regulation. The memo supports the SEC's position toward crypto assets,
which some in the crypto community believe is an attempt to "kill
crypto and Bitcoin." "The messaging also asserts that Committee
Republicans who are looking to cut the budgets of financial regulators
are not actually serious about protecting investors," a journalist
tweeted.

It’s hard to overstate how much the masses hate crypto right now.

happen at the right time to BUY into an asset. Dec'22 was the bottom.

So...your opinion comes from a 6-month old (you know, before three
massive bank failures this year) editorial by a traditional financial
analyst from *cough* CNBC *cough* who has cites a survey that...
Is over 30% Boomers and about 20% 'young' (your cited demographics),
and of which a full third of respondents didn't know about/had no
opinion with regards to crypto. Not to mention a pathetically small
sample size of 801 (that's two-millions of a single percent of
Americans) by a company that has a barely lukewarm (71%) historical
accuracy rate compared to precisely measurable data. Not to mention
it's only a single question on a political/economical survey.
Personally, I think you need to source your data a little bit better
before you jump to sweeping conclusions.

I'm not going down the rabbit hole of pulling up dozens of sources
when we both know a simple google search would tell you crypto's rep
is in the gutter, dude. I did my own research, and the people have
spoken: Crypto's in the crapper right now, and we're a long way away
from the ATH's of 2021.
If the people couldn't be sold on the crypto dream with Superbowl ads,
they sure aren't going to be sold on all the major exchanges
committing fraud and/or sanction violations while the SEC is calling
them all out for selling unregistered securities.

For new folks here, the above response translates roughly to "I can't
provide substantive data for my random opinion so I'll just claim I'm
right".
And the fact you think Superbowl adds are even relevant in the big
picture is laughable. Besides, Ripple Labs is currently eviscerating
the SEC in their suit, and once that's done the SEC is going to lose a
lot of credibility.

Has it occurred to you that the reason everyone tells you the same
things is because you're wrong?
Because if you're telling me you've heard it all before over and over
again, that I'm just the latest in a long line of parakeets, it means
a lot of people must all agree that you're wrong and have told you
such.

A few years crypto collapses didn’t indirectly cause runs on 3 banks.
I think fearing something that takes out large parts of the banking
system with its own collapse is fair.
Like, I know if I were standing under the leaning tower of Pisa I’d
have quite a few concerns myself.

Timothy Massad, the former chairman of the CFTC, said yesterday in the
Congressional meeting of the future of digital assets that he
proposed.
'We would pass a law that requires any trading platform or lending
platform that uses or trades Bitcoin or Ethereum has to comply with a
set of principles for everything it does for all the tokens on the
platform and all of its activity. Those principles would be the ones
we're all familiar with: protecting customer assets, preventing fraud
and manipulation, requiring risk management, requiring reporting,
requiring trade transparency, preventing conflicts of interest and so
forth."

This is my 7.6007104E-7 BTC ($0.02):
Of course people fear cypto because Gov't cannot control it, only
regulate and fine wrongdoers, where Gov't makes money by fining people
who scam its citizens no matter the medium in which it's perpetrated.
In my opinion, crypto, even though it's not doing so hot this week, is
here to stay.
As an engineer I can say one thing you always want is redundancy,
whether it's in technology or currency. Crypto is 100 times safer
today than it was back in 2013 in terms of security, but it needs to
improve more to be resilient against manipulation.
It should be a commodity of which we gauge trust in Gov't currency. If
Crypto goes down, that means we trust the ol' dollery doo more than
BTC and vice-versa.
