If consensus was run it hot, USD devaluation, then isn’t hyperscalers going dollar short with debt the correct call?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

I am a woman from Iran. Let me tell you honestly how women like me see politicians like you in America, women who speak about freedom from the safety of Congress while sympathizing with our killers under Islamic regimes.

You stand next to the American flag, speaking about freedom. Now you launch campaigns saying, “No War With Iran.”

Now I want to introduce you to a brave Iranian woman who understood America better than you ever will.

Her name is Sara Saeidi.
Born and raised in Iran.
39 years old.
A mother of two daughters, 19 and 6.

She was shot in the head for the “crime” of peacefully protesting while wearing a sweatshirt that said MANHATTAN, with the American flag beneath it.

While you stood in Congress under that flag, she carried its name on her chest, not as symbolism for a photo opportunity but as a dream.

Three days after she was killed, her body was returned to her family only after threats and money were taken from them. They were banned from holding a proper funeral. Authorities falsified the circumstances of her death.

That is the regime you refuse to confront clearly.

She wanted the freedom Manhattan represents, the freedom to live without fear, without morality police, without a bullet in her head. The same freedom protected by the Constitution you swore to uphold.

You speak of “No War With Iran,” but you refuse to condemn the war being waged against us, the Iranian people, by the Islamic Republic.

More than 30,000 unarmed civilians have been killed.
Women blinded.
Teenagers hanged.
Mothers executed.

When American lawmakers like you reduce this reality to a partisan talking point, you do the regime’s work for it. Dictatorships thrive when moral clarity disappears and when lawmakers choose ambiguity instead of standing firmly with victims.

You call yourself anti war. But where is your condemnation of the regime’s massacre? Where is your outrage at its war against its own people? You are anti-Iranian women.💔

Peace without justice is surrender.

Your hatred of President Trump appears stronger than your love for America, stronger than your love for Manhattan, for freedom, for women’s rights. That is why you sound sympathetic to the Islamic Republic while remaining silent about women like Sara, like me, and like millions of Iranians who are victims of this barbaric regime.
You celebrating hijab day in Manhattan in beautiful New York and watching women get killed in Iran for not wearing hijab.
I dare you to share the picture of Sara, and say no to the war being wage by Islamist terrorist on us, Iranians.

We are building a pro-crypto army in Congress.

[Tom Emmer @GOPMajorityWhip]

Crypto is in the middle of a policy tug-of-war between the Administrative State and the American people.

Congress just passed the SAB 121 repeal on a bipartisan basis.

If Biden vetoes, it proves he wants to kill opportunities for Americans at the expense of Americans.

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

In a brief to avoid dismissal of its case against Debt Box with prejudice, @SECGov includes a remarkable admission that it did not follow its own typical Wells process when it refused to tell us what assets would be charged as securities: "The Wells process is designed to aid the charging decision for a specific potential defendant. The SEC staff typically provides a thorough explanation of the evidence it would use to prove potential charges against a particular person or entity." 1/3

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

“Describing the SEC's approach on crypto as a policy of regulation by enforcement does not fully capture the current regulatory environment. Professor @JWVerret of George Mason University perfectly described the SEC's policy as “‘enforcement by destruction’ trying to turn courts into execution chambers for an industry it never intended to regulate but to destroy."

- @RoslynLayton quoting @JWVerret

The above is from the Amicus Brief I filed on behalf of thousands of Coinbase customers and digital asset users/holders.

I challenge anyone to read the brief and not conclude: 1) the SEC has been captured by partisan politics; and 2) @GaryGensler is a bad faith regulator. With FACTS, my brief demonstrates exactly what Mark is saying below. In fact, it has a section titled:

“The @SECGov is Acting in Bad Faith.”

First and foremost, I am 100% biased. I love crypto.

And, while crypto may not be an issue for everyone in this upcoming election it is definitely an issue for some and the constituency it attracts is very real and larger than one might expect.

Back in March, @paradigm published a fascinating Public Opinion Poll, which you can access here: https://t.co/hebD3r7m9k

It is actually quite an interesting study and worth reading, IMO.

Four insights from the study worth surfacing are: 

1.) Crypto is the best option for those left behind by traditional financial institutions. In a world where 69% of Americans are dissatisfied with the current financial system, folks are turning to other options where they have the power — instead of big banks.

2.) Crypto owners are a much bigger segment of the electorate than is often appreciated among policymakers. A fifth of the country is not a niche subgroup.

3.) Ownership of crypto is even higher among communities of color and among the young. 40% of men 18-54 have bought crypto. 33% of African Americans and 32% of Hispanics currently own, have traded, or used cryptocurrency in 2024, compared to 20% and 22% from last year. 

4.) Notably, crypto ownership is greatest among college graduates, with 26% owning crypto.

Why am I posting about this now? Simple. 

Earlier this week, at an event at Mar-a-Lago, former US President, Donald Trump, made it a wedge issue for voters who care about the topic. Video via @BitcoinMagazine:

https://t.co/kkL3MoAMD0

And, yesterday, @politico published an article titled, Crypto is Trump's new weapon against Biden.

https://t.co/ndgF7hPRhr

FWIW, Trump also announced he would accept Presidential campaign donations via crypto. (@TheBlock__)

https://t.co/hkggkRmFVy

But this is not an irrelevant issue based upon a throwaway comment from Trump.

The advocacy group, @standwithcrypto, already has 440,000 members with the goal of reaching 1 million by the US election and on Friday, @Reuters published a piece titled, Crypto group with 440,000 members launches PAC to target House, Senate elections.

https://t.co/bky8Y5yGFv

Still don't believe this is a real issue?

Well, yesterday, @mcuban posted the following on X that has already had over 2.4M views and has been picked up by many publications: 

@mcuban: If @joebiden loses, there is a good chance you will be able to thank @GaryGensler and the @NewYork_SEC

Crypto is a mainstay with younger and independent voters. Gensler HAS NOT PROTECTED A SINGLE INVESTOR AGAINST FRAUD 

All he has done is make it nearly impossible for legitimate crypto companies to operate, killing who knows how many businesses and ruining who knows how many entrepreneurs. 

This is also a warning to Congress. Crypto voters will be heard this election. You could solve this problem for Biden by passing legislation that defines registration that is specific to the crypto industry just as other industries have registration that is defined for them 

Or you could do the better option and assign all crypto to be regulated by the @CFTC

They actually know what they are doing

When I was the President of @TIME, @decryptmedia published a piece titled, TIME President on NFT Haters: ‘I Don’t Understand the Politicizing of a Technology’

https://t.co/NBcEYNblZF

This is something I stand by today.

We all know that any technology can be used for both good and bad. Thus, in an ideal world, crypto should NOT be a wedge issue for this year’s US election. What is really needed is not division but rather a clear regulatory framework that is NOT politicized.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

This is how @GaryGensler and the SEC are trying to destroy the crypto industry.

They make it impossible to comply with registration rules

Since the SEC decided to litigate to regulate rather than make any effort to increase compliance, if I get an investment opportunity that is going to release a token, it’s now a no from me.

Not because of the company itself, rather because the SEC will not allow it to operate. The cost in time and legal fees to attempt to register and comply make it impossible to realistically operate

And if you don’t try to register, and operate outside the USA , I don’t want to be involved.

They have created a destructive environment that could easily be remedied in a way that would increase compliance dramatically and actually protect investors.

The crypto industry wants a way to register and comply. It wants a way to keep the speculative noise out.

Instead the SEC makes it so expensive, time consuming and difficult for those who want to comply, that the junk tokens are side by side with real companies and investors have no way to know what is garbage and what is real.

This is the legacy of @GaryGensler He has made it impossible for good companies to do the right thing

Just look at the actual number of operating companies that have successfully registered their tokens w the SEC in the USA and successfully continue to operate.

Are there any at all ?
