     @molly0xfff 200 mil is around 2040 BTC. It doesn’t sound so bad in those terms…

     Good presentation, but I’m not understanding when you say the crypto industry is dumping millions into politics - they aren’t dumping crypto are they? They’re using dollars. How are they getting those dollars? I’m not incline to much faith in a currency that is useless even in a bribe although maybe I’m missing something not being a crypto fan.
