1/ The reason the election of Kamala Harris would legitimately be the end of the country has nothing to do with her as a person. (If I'm being honest, I would definitely have seven IPAs to her seven glasses of wine, and we'd probably hit it off.)
It's much darker than that.

President Warren just tipped the Dems’ 2025 hand: all market structure, stablecoin, crypto related legislation will be vetoed even if it passes the House and Senate.
There is no alternative.
We must win this election and back a party that cares about the Bill of Rights.
White House releases their Statement of Administration Policy on the SAB 121 repeal effort, which would, if repealed, expand the number of crypto custody options and lower costs.
"If the President were presented with H.J. Res 109, he would veto it."

+ upped FIT 21 odds of passage

Liz Warren and Joe Biden made crypto a political issue.
Not the crypto community.
Radical policies aimed to ban or severely cripple an industry that enshrines American Constitutional values into the global financial system will lead to backlash.
