The SEC's last anti-crypto commissioner, Caroline Crenshaw, will not have her term renewed. The SEC will now have individuals who are either pro-crypto or neutral to it. There are two vacancies in the SEC. Trump can nominate more pro-crypto people to fill those vacancies (Senate Banking Committee votes to appoint or not) or choose to leave them vacant.

As a crypto holder, this was the news I was waiting for. I am hoping for clear crypto rules so that US financial institutions can start adopting crypto more freely.

BTW, if you are looking for cryptocurrencies that have growth potential but also utility, look to XRP and HBar.

I bought some FBTC last week. I can buy it from my Schwab account and as an added bonus it sounds like a soccer team.

XRP is everything wrong with crypto in my opinion. 100% pre-mine by Ripple Labs with a design goal of dumping on retail investors. They have printed 100 billion XRP and have been using as a funding source for years. There is 5,000x more XRP than BTC which caps the upside potential.

Unfortunately, their business model is worse than just dumping on retail. They are collaborating with governments to help build a digital prison and enslave people with CBDCs. They also spend heavily on marketing so most of the influencers hyping XRP are on the payroll.

There is also some fishy stuff like the ledger missing 32,000 blocks which are all early transactions. I'm not saying it can't continue to pump but be careful. The Ripple Labs team is going to keep dumping on retail and eventually the bubble will pop.

I’m not making chit up here. These people are experts in banking systems and economics. I don’t know how you can claim to understand crypto currency and not understand the growing risk it posses to the overall economy. This isn’t my opinion derived from my own conservative financial opinions. I’m just heading their warnings.

You would be wise to read up on what the experts are warning investors about. I really could care less what you all do with your own money whether it’s investing in businesses via the stock market, gambling on sports or at the casinos. That’s your own business. But now this BS Ponzi scheme that had no practical social benefit while wreaking havoc on our environment is now putting the finances of those who want no part of crypto, like me, at serious risk.

Buzz is fcking with everyone. I’m not. I’m dead serious.
