Refusing to enact new laws around a thing most people don’t like, don’t want, and don’t care about (oh and is used for scams often) is quite different than a secret back door war.

"around a thing most people don’t like"

Liking or not liking has nothing to do with it, this is literally the job of the government. Why do you think states started enacting their own crypto regulation laws (NYDFS) because the administration did 0.

Yes you’re right. Paying off POTUS’s family through a series of pump and dump schemes is much better than what Biden did.

At least their is clarity on what is allowed or not. As much as you hate crypto, the jobs of the gov is to enact these laws and enforce them. Biden had a secret war, that is not how you run a Gov.

The crypto "industry" had a series of multi-$B scams, seems like strong regulation would be called for. On the other hand, Trump executed a rug pulling token for himself and his wife days before his 2nd term and sells pardons to fraudsters and money launders. I know that inspires confidence.

And Biden ran a secret covert war using the banking system which is also questionably legal. At least with the current you know what is happening and what is allowed.

Amazing, have you checked the tariff situation? The war in Iran? Killing people in boats in South America? The personal slush fund? Knocking down the white house? Hiring and firing felons for the cabinet?

The list goes on and on for things that defy understanding what is happening and what is allowed, you are genuinely not credible.

The industry is infested with scammers, what a great idea to tie the stability of the banking system to it.

So you would categorize bribes and North Korean style displays of fealty as a normal part of doing business?
