Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

[J. Barron DeJong]

If not for Warren Buffet, consumerism would not exist.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Why yes, I am aware of sugar protectionism.

I’m also aware that Coca-Cola uses high fructose corn syrup instead of more expensive sugar because of said protectionism.

[jono]

You may have known, ok. But think of how many people have just learned about it since Warren said "rat poison squared." That's Bitcoin working to save the environment right there.

[Vt-Freeheel]

"Warren Buffet made me drink soda!" Funny how something from the 1800's took WB to make it popular.

Be careful there stalefish, these people don't like a bipartisan majority view.

GTFO

LOL! We're not talking about a single bill here, my dude. We're witnessing a sea change and you're in complete denial, as usual.

Also, be nice to shera. Dick.

Be nice to Shera? When have I ever opposed something for just being bipartisan. How about don’t make shit up about other people.

And way to move the goalposts on the Biden’s party not supporting him thing.

You literally just told her to "GTFO."

Classic Blue Benny post which adds nothing to the discussion.

[JimmyCarter]

You’re not answering the question you think you’re answering

[J. Barron DeJong]

Yes I did.

Now why would I ever do such a thing?

(hint: I told you why in the post you quoted.)

We saw in the aftermath of Sam Bankman-Fried & FTX the extent to which the crypto industry is a political force with their politcal donations made to both sides of the aisle. As a result, crypto has seen lawmakers of both parties take pro-crypto stances. It's one more reason why so many of the crypto narratives are wrong. We should start to think about crypto in the same way we think about Banks & Wall Street, or TradFi in general. Crypto is both an upstart competitor and a big player trying to enact its own protections and regulatory capture.

Then they fight you

FFS!

How about an example of a bill that passed with votes from both parties that I strongly support:

https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022513

[byates1]

Jong votes to pay 85% tax rate.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Jong votes to pay 85% tax rate.

byates is extremely concerned about the spiraling debt, but damned if he’s willing to take the only action that can address it!

Have at it: https://us.abalancingact.com/2023-federal-budget

No serious person believes that the budget is going to ever be balanced by spending cuts alone. Which isn’t surprising since it was tax cuts that created the majority of the deficit in the first place.

[byates1]

No one is asking for an immediate budget balance. A slight easing off of the out of control waste spending would be a start
