Elizabeth Warren Proves Democrats Are Still Against Bitcoin

If you were tuned into the Massachusetts Senate debate last night, you would have noticed a key exchange between pro-Bitcoin candidate John Deaton and his rival Elizabeth Warren, leader of Washington D.C.’s “anti-crypto army.”

When pressed by Deaton, Warren wouldn’t even defend herself. After lying and attacking our industry for years, she said “I’m fine if people want to buy and sell crypto.” Seriously.

My big concern with this moment is that it says everything about the Democrats and the lip service they are playing to the Bitcoin industry.

It’s undeniable that Bitcoin has turned into a partisan issue in this country for the most part. Most Democrats have followed Warren in taking a strong stance against supporting Bitcoin (even if they won’t admit it). I suspect Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has done the same.

Case and point, even Harris this week issued a generic “we will support blockchain and digital assets,” while not specifying exactly what she would do to help it.

But oh wait, she actually did put forth a new policy proposal yesterday, and to no one’s surprise, it was a race based one that excludes most Americans. It was a flop in the industry.

I have to ask at this point, how much more do pro-Democrat Bitcoiners need to see?

The Republicans have clearly embraced the industry. They’ve put forth legislation proposals in an attempt to foster more innovation in the space. They defend the industry from attacks coming from the Democrats. They attend Bitcoin conferences and events, listen to industry leaders, and buy and hold bitcoin personally.

They have not been shy in their public support for Bitcoin, and have also actively made it an official part of their party platform. That’s how serious they are.

The current leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has made many pledges to support and grow the industry, proposing specific policy on what he would enact if elected.

Earlier this summer, Trump raised $25 million from private individual donors at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville (his second highest fundraiser across his three campaigns). American Bitcoin miners have met with Trump in Mar-A-Lago to discuss what they need him to do as president to support their businesses.

Where Republicans have leaned into Bitcoin, we have seen the opposite with Democrats. At almost every single congressional and Senate hearing I watch, Democrats vote against favorable Bitcoin regulation, and make verbal attacks on the industry.

At a congressional hearing only four months ago, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters actually tried to make the case that we should implement a CBDC, and not ban it, because countries like China are embracing it. She called it the next “space race”.

It is crystal clear to anyone watching these congressional and senate hearings which side the Democrats have chosen when it comes to Bitcoin vs CBDC.

This is my big fear.

If elected president, I believe Harris would have little reason to support the industry, and every reason to continue attacking it, as she’s done as vice president over the last four years.

This election is a fierce battle for power of the United States of America. People and industries and choosing their sides, and if Kamala wins, she might not be so nice to the industries who heavily tried to get her opponent elected president.

If Bitcoiners want to see this industry not get attacked like it has these past four years, and see it thrive over the next four years, they need to make their voices heard at the ballot box this November – and, like it or not, they need to vote Republican.

Health is fundamental to our well-being and quality of life, making it an essential aspect of daily existence.

Prioritizing health allows individuals to maintain optimal physical fitness, reducing the risk of diseases and promoting longevity. Mental health, equally crucial, affects our cognitive abilities, emotional stability, and overall happiness. Investing in preventive healthcare through exercise, balanced nutrition, and regular medical check-ups helps in early detection of potential health issues, ensuring timely intervention and treatment.

Beyond material comforts, money facilitates social connections and experiences that enrich our lives. It empowers individuals to invest in their futures, whether through savings, investments, or entrepreneurial ventures, thereby fostering economic stability and growth. However, the pursuit of wealth should also be balanced with ethical considerations, as money can influence relationships and societal dynamics. Responsible management of finances is key to achieving long-term goals and mitigating financial stress. Ultimately, while money is a tool for achieving aspirations and fulfilling desires, its true value lies in how it is utilized to improve both personal well-being and the broader community.



Earning Easy Money in 2024: Opportunities and Considerations 💸

In 2024, the landscape of earning easy money presents diverse opportunities, albeit with considerations. The digital age offers platforms for freelancing, online trading, and e-commerce, allowing individuals to leverage skills and creativity for financial gain. Cryptocurrency investments continue to allure with potential for quick profits, yet they entail high volatility and risk. Moreover, the rise of the gig economy enables flexible work arrangements through apps and websites, offering quick payouts but often without job security or benefits. Passive income streams such as rental properties and investments in stocks or bonds remain viable, but demand initial capital and ongoing management. Amid these options, caution is essential to avoid scams and unsustainable ventures promising overnight success. Ultimately, while the allure of easy money persists, informed decisions, diligence, and a long-term perspective are crucial for sustainable financial growth and security in the dynamic year ahead.
