I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.
Every crypto bro cheering this bill is either on Coinbase’s payroll or can’t read. I read all 278 pages. You’re getting played.
I’ve been in crypto since 2012. That’s 14 years of watching governments pretend to be confused while quietly building the cage.
Trump promised to make America “the crypto capital of the world.” His party just delivered a surveillance framework that would make the CCP blush.
Today I’m launching the Day2026 Bill Tracker. It does one thing: exposes how both parties collaborate to build your digital prison while you cheer.
First up: The Senate Digital Asset Market Structure Act.
278 pages of “regulatory clarity” from Senator Tim Scott. Translation: 278 pages of compliance theater that kills everything crypto was built for.
Here’s what your favorite influencers won’t tell you because their bags depend on you not knowing:
MANDATORY TRADE SURVEILLANCE - Every exchange must implement real-time monitoring. Every. Single. Transaction. The NSA called, they want their playbook back.
UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION - Exchanges, brokers, dealers, even “associated persons” must register. Anonymous participation? Dead. Satoshi’s vision? Buried.
FULL DISCLOSURE TO THE STATE - Token issuers must hand over source code, transaction history, and tokenomics to regulators. Open source for thee, total transparency for me.
MANDATORY GOVERNMENT CUSTODIANS - Your coins must sit with approved custodians. Self-custody for regulated activity? Effectively illegal. Not your keys, not your coins just became federal policy.
DEFI IN THE CROSSHAIRS - For the first time ever, DeFi developers face registration requirements. Building permissionless systems now requires permission. Let that sink in.
YOUR DATA GOES GLOBAL - Transaction records flow to the SEC, CFTC, and foreign regulators. Your wallet activity shared with central banks worldwide. Bullish, right?
WHO ACTUALLY WINS:
Coinbase gets a regulatory moat that buries competitors. You think Brian Armstrong is lobbying for YOUR freedom?
Chainalysis gets permanent government contracts. Surveillance as a service, funded by your tax dollars.
BlackRock and Wall Street get clear on-ramps while DeFi gets strangled in the crib.
The SEC and CFTC get expanded empires and fresh revenue streams.
You get watched. Tracked. Controlled. But hey, number go up.
THE PROCESS:
Senators got 48 hours to review 278 pages.
Democrats asked for more time. Denied.
Because nothing says “deliberative democracy” like speed-running financial surveillance.
They call it regulatory clarity.
I call it regulatory capture gift-wrapped for the donor class.
THE REAL GAME:
This is what “bipartisan consensus” means in 2026: both parties racing to build total financial surveillance while fighting about pronouns on cable news.
Republicans say they oppose CBDCs. Then they vote for infrastructure that makes CBDCs inevitable.
Democrats say they want consumer protection. Then they vote for bills written by the corporations they claim to regulate.
Different jerseys. Same owners.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH:
Trump isn’t saving crypto. He’s domesticating it.
The goal was never to ban Bitcoin. The goal was to make it legible, trackable, and taxable. Mission accomplished.
Every laser-eyed profile pic celebrating this bill is either naive, compromised, or selling you something.
WHAT I’M DOING ABOUT IT:
Full analysis with threat scores, beneficiary tracking, and talking points: (https://t.co/RI8706eA2M)
Every major bill gets this treatment. PATRIOT Act. TARP. CARES Act. REAL ID. GENIUS Act. Executive orders. All of it. Exposed.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Neither party will protect your financial freedom.
Neither party actually opposes CBDCs.
Neither party will stop the technocratic merger of corporate and state power.
That’s why I’m exploring a run for US Senate in New Hampshire.
Not to join the club. To burn down the velvet rope.
The algorithm buries truth. Make it work for us.

On Timcast IRL with Tim Pool (@timcast), we talked about how the Federal Reserve functions to funnel money to Wall Street and away from the American middle class. The bottom line is that the Fed needs fundamental reforms – yesterday.
