Well done podcast.

Congrats to Mark Carney and our Canadian friends up North.

Simply dismissing the 3.5 trillion $ digital asset industry as an "scam" is partly why it was a bad political strategy. Trust me, many people that would have voted for Biden did not do so because of this perspective. Like Walz says, "Mind your own damn business". 😉

Everyone has the right to spend their money how they like. It is not for everyone and just like any investment, there is risk. I have done well for years, and I actually use these protocols for maximizing yield and growing savings. It is a huge market with lots of room for scams. Do your homework.

Very happy that I live in a Congressional district has flipped and that Janelle Bynum will be representing me.
I thought the negative ads against her were a little unseemly, but whatever. Haters gonna hate.

Here is a nice mushroom

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.

I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.

Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Investing in crypto markets is just like investing in the stock market, those who do their homework, and who can manage risk, can do well. I wish him luck!

The "anti-crypto" sentiment of some Democrats is just bad politics. Who cares if you think that investing in crypto is a good investment? Many crypto investors are Democrats (me). Being on the side of an issue that most don't care about only drives votes for the opposing party.

Ryan is right. I know it's not on the radar for most people, but the Biden admin's enforcement of this industry over the last 4 years has been perceived as unfair and overreaching. People want to have the freedom to invest and/or speculate in markets without the government telling them what to do.

If Russia makes threats against the West, it always comes from a position of weakness. Look at history. How did Russia lose the Cold War decades ago?

It is unfortunate that we do not have campaign finance reform (thanks Citizens United). These crypto PACs only targeted law makers who were anti-crypto. It seems that the industry has been unfairly attacked for years. All they want is fair regulation.

Howdy folks. Glad to be here and to start building a good list of friendly people to follow. 😀
