Trump failed crypto today.
Our politicians failed us today.
The entire industry showed up for him funded, supported, pushed for U.S. innovation and when it actually mattered, he folded to the same big banks crypto was built to replace.
Let’s be honest about what just happened:
Stablecoin yield was becoming real competition. Real alternatives. Real financial freedom.
So they killed it.
Not for “consumer protection.” Not for “risk management.”
But because it threatens a system that survives on control, fees, inflation, and gatekeeping.
Traditional banking doesn’t win in a free market so it rewrites the rules.
And Washington just proved exactly who they work for.
Meanwhile, politicians somehow outperform markets, insiders get rich, and we’re told this is all for our benefit.
Short term?
DeFi gets hit.
Projects die.
Innovation leaves the U.S.
Long term? You can’t stop open-source.
You can’t kill decentralization.
But today was a reminder:
They don’t want competition.
They want control.
Fuck every politician who sold out to big banks instead of protecting consumers.
🚨 UPDATE: An ASTOUNDING **22** Democrat Senators have uploaded videos of themselves reading off an identical cringey script bashing Trump and Musk
This is a REALLY tough watch 🤣
Just remember: the Democrats think you’re all stupid.
This person has the power to send armed government officials to break into your home and forcibly kidnap your family pet to later be murdered, and you must sit and watch this happen or they're allowed to kill you.
Is that how our Founding Fathers envisioned America?
No, to be honest, I think they'd probably look the other way while a mob of people ripped this guy out of his house and beat him to death in the front lawn.
I'm not recommending it, of course. Not suggesting this should happen.
However, in the era when the Founders existed it probably would happen anyway.
Which is why they were smart enough to ensure you were tried by a jury of your peers, that juries could not be punished for returning with a "wrong verdict", and that you could not be tried for the same crime twice.
You see, that unique combination allows for "jury nullification" exist as a possible third outcome.
That's just the facts about how our system of laws work and it's obvious why it was designed in such a manner.
That's why I don't skip jury duty.
Thank you for attending this Saturday afternoon discussion of theoretical legal arguments.
