I'm guessing you didn't actually watch the video and understand what Milei was saying.

If he hasn't been active on X either, it seems more likely that life has interfered with all internets activity. I hope all is well with him. Going dark like this generally isn't a good sign.

Mods - please move if there is a more appropriate thread... https://x.com/pmbug/status/1863207684922659280 1863207684922659280 https://x.com/pmbug/status/1863225221919989958 1863225221919989958

I bought a tiny bit a few months ago. It's on a bit of a run right now as expectations are rising that the SEC lawsuit is going to be dropped. I'm a bit conflicted about XRP though. They are really trying to ingratiate themselves with banking authorities to build/enable a CBDC. Separately, I have to wonder how XRPs tech measures up (scalability, security, decentralization, etc.) against newer systems like SUI and EGLD.

Gold is money. Everything else is credit.

In what way? I didn't see a single comment on the topic of the political tide with respect to crypto that adds anything to the discussion here.

Never thought I'd see the day where this issue blew up, but toady's the day! Marc Andreessen appeared on Joe Rogan's show and talked about Operation Choke Point 2.0. Now it's starting to go viral and people that had no clue are learning about it. https://x.com/nic__carter/status/1861748485424316627 1861748485424316627 This is the post Elon Musk referenced (not shown in the embedded tweet, but visible on X if you click on the tweet):

I just sent a note to my Texas State Rep:

PAF - As an aside, I still maintain that Whitney Webb is an idiot. More importantly, CBDCs <> decentralized crypto

^^ Passes the smell test from where I sit. His resignation shortly after the AG announcement made no sense until it came out that the investigation results weren't going to be released because he stepped down.

Correct. You don't need Coinbase One unless you plan to trade *a lot*. Coinbase One offers lower transaction fees on buying/selling/(trading/swapping), so if you are dealing with large values or frequent/high volume actions, you might save money using it, but most folks who are just starting or dabbling will do just fine with a basic Coinbase account, which is free.

Mike Lee would likely do good work in the role, but I'd hate to lose his voice in the Senate.

It provides some regulator clarity instead of allowing the SEC to continue it's capricious rule by enforcement agenda that was casting a chilling effect on the industry. You are welcome to read the War on Crypto link I provided or do some basic research on your own if you like.

Passage of Fit21 signaled a sea change in Congressional attitude toward crypto. It was the beginning of the end of America's War on Crypto.

Gensler has announced that he is stepping down on Jan 20, 2025: https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-182

He met with Senators just yesterday: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-gaetz-jd-vance-senate-republicans-attorney-general-nomination/ They must have a lot of dirt/kompromat on him for him to bow out like this right after that meeting.

What? That is not correct. I have been using Coinbase for several years - never paid a dime for any subscription. I wrote a tutorial about a year ago for folks interested in crypto but unsure how to get started: https://www.pmbug.com/threads/crypto-101-how-to-get-started-when-you-know-nothing.6430/
