TD₿: Elizabeth Warren's War on ₿itcoin - (a Swan original video)
TL;DR: Elizabeth Warren hates anything she can't control. Instead of trying to ban Bitcoin... Senator Warren should just buy Bitcoin with the millions she has made as a 'public servant.'
Hey Bitcoiners,
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas HODLday with your family and loved ones. Senator Elizabeth Warren continues her war against Bitcoin and crypto with her new bill - the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act.
With major bank CEO's joining her ranks, she says the bill is for national security and the safety of all Americans. What are her real motives?
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten
