When Trump announced

to learn where he stands on crypto.
This is THE industry tool for tracking someone’s stance on crypto 🛡️
So Trump picked a VP that owns some Bitcoin, strongly supports crypto and has openly been critical of Gary Gensler and the SEC’s treatment of the crypto industry.
This is new information the market has to price in.

“Crypto deregulators” is an intellectually dishonest way of framing the industry’s attempts to get regulatory clarity from the SEC.
The crypto voter is real, and they will vote out politicians who want to push digital asset innovation offshore 🛡️
Bowman’s loss must put Democratic voters on notice: billionaires are dumping more money than EVER to smear progressives in primaries.
Whether it’s AIPAC, crypto deregulators, or the big business lobby, these interests are trying to buy Dem elections and we can’t let it continue.

Ya that’s the TLDR. No one wants to spend BTC for small transactions while every send is a taxable event. Stables are a simple use case that encourages people to actually generate their first private key.

If you can’t afford a $5,000 emergency medical expense, pet insurance is a life saver.
But even if you have the savings to afford unforeseen expenses, don’t underestimate the peace-of-mind benefits of knowing you never need to weigh the cost of treatment and your pet’s life.
