This is a such a classic crypto move. Downplay the risks of stablecoins while simultaneously claiming they are equivalent to bank deposits, an instrument so historically risky we functionally nationalized the entire sector

In “The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One” Bill Black says the S&L crisis was exacerbated by 3 Ds: “deregulation, de-supervision and de facto decriminalisation”.

Today has many parallels plus a 4th D: a digital bank run

A: This move is intentional and necessary for creating a body of expertise around Public Banking.

[Modern Money Network @themmtnetwork]

If media companies had the opportunity to report on things that actually affect people’s lives, then we could help the general public understand the benefits of a public bank.

[Modern Money Network @themmtnetwork]

The Legislators have given an excellent explanation of how a Public Bank can keep more investment in Oregon. #ourmoneyourfuture

This message is crucial for shifting the vote on HB 2673 and future Public Bank legislation away from "party lines."

[Modern Money Network @themmtnetwork]

Oregonians, talk to your legislators about this bill. An important Bill for getting the Public Bank moving in Oregon.

[Modern Money Network @themmtnetwork]

HB 2763 establishes a State Public Bank Task Force. This bill is sponsored by Rep. Gamba and Senator Golden and has recently been referred to Ways and Means Committee.
