Bitcoin puts at risk both a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and the state’s monopoly on money, which is why the federal government will do everything it can to prevent its successful emergence—or that of any alternative currencies. We need to fight against laws and rmoney’s independent development. Good money—whatever form it takes—is indispensable to a free future.

The Federal Reserve has long been involved in currency manipulation, and it now threatens to extend the state’s reach over our money and lives through a digital dollar known as a central bank digital currency. Under a CBDC regime, federal officials could—without the aid of any t—alter the value of our funds, set units to expire, block our transactions, seize or transfer our funds, or coerce us into taking certain actions. No government with these capabilities will be able to resist exploiting such power for its own ends at the expense of due process of law and individual rights. We need to stop CBDCs and promote the freedom of money.

The Senate passing a CRA overturning SAB 121 is a win for financial innovation and a clear rebuke of the way the Biden admin and Gary Gensler have persecuted crypto. It also marks the 1st time Congress has passed standalone crypto legislation. We are just getting started.

@twobitidiot @blknoiz06 @standwithcrypto Ryan, there’s clearly some mistake here. Mike Rogers is an architect of the surveillance state and also terrible on crypto (he earned a “?” on the scorecard—and even that’s way too generous given his horrible record), while I’ve been relentlessly focused on decentralizing money.

Decentralize money. Leaving control in the hands of the Federal Reserve, federal government, and large financial institutions is one of the greatest long-term threats to human liberty.

A digital currency administered by a massive central government is one of the most dangerous developments in history. Finance must be decoupled from the state and decentralized. When the state can turn off your ability to transact with a switch, it controls your whole existence.

Mandatory E-Verify is yet another tool for the federal government to control you, being sold to you as a security measure. E-Verify is laying the foundation for national biometric databases, CBDCs, and a social credit system, giving the state almost absolute power over your life.

@EthanAGreene @AndrewFmOregon I understand the impetus, but I think it risks further centralizing Congress. The more members, the more likely they will defer to party leaders. The expansion would have to be combined with additional constitutional protections to create a more decentralized legislative body.

@chiproytx Thankful for my friend @chiproytx, who fought tirelessly to revitalize the House so it can serve as a deliberative body that represents the people. I think the current speaker remains an impediment, but I hope the effort bears fruit. Congress needs to be decentralized and opened.

A central bank digital currency is an instrument of tyranny. No government can resist the impulse to “correct” your divergent thinking or behavior when it has such a potent and convenient economic weapon to compel your compliance. Decentralize money and reject the digital dollar.

Government meddling in the economy makes things more expensive, not cheaper. If you want things to be better for families, then stop standing in the way of free exchange and competition. Welcome decentralized currencies and stop the Fed from devaluing people’s income and savings.

One way we can make things better for families is by helping them save on items like their utility bill, their internet bill, their prescription drugs, or their cost of housing. Congress could help ease costs for families right away by taking action.

When the Federal Reserve rapidly adds trillions of dollars to its balance sheet to cover trillions of dollars in government spending, don’t be surprised when prices go up. If you want to end serious and persistent inflation, then you have to end the Fed. Decentralize finance.

You can’t marry centralized writing of complex legislation (congressional leaders) to decentralized voting on that legislation (rank-and-file members). The result will be a bill that’s highly unrepresentative and takes an eternity to pass. You must decentralize the whole process.

People ask how a decentralized Congress would work. It’s simple: You put a bill on the floor, open it up for amendments, and accept the outcome. If you think this doesn’t work, it’s likely because you have a *particular* outcome in mind. You must accept a representative outcome.
