Washington Post: “Conservative activists press big companies to buy bitcoin”
The new strategy comes amid a broad embrace of crypto by conservatives, including President-elect Donald Trump, who told advocates in July that he intends to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet,” with promises to take a much lighter regulatory approach to the volatile market than the Biden administration has.
Crypto investors have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to influence lawmakers in Washington and elect pro-crypto candidates this past election cycle. Trump and some of his Cabinet picks have financial interests in the industry, while the president-elect has expressed interest in creating a national stockpile of bitcoin.
I lack the words to describe how stupid and openly corrupt all of this is.
