Crypto Week in the House. Sounds exciting, right? Like some futuristic tech expo. Wrong. This ambitious backroom deal stinks fishier than week-old sushi. Fundamentally, it’s designed to fuck you over, and in particular if you’re not already rich. Here’s why this barely started “crypto week” is a slap in the face to rank and file Americans.

Trump's Crypto Bonanza?

Let's be blunt: this whole push reeks of self-interest, and the stench is emanating directly from Mar-a-Lago. There’s a good reason Trump is practically salivating over this stablecoin legislation—his family will personally profit from it. He’s the fourth largest shareholder in World Liberty Financial, and their crypto project, USD1. But here’s the kicker – the legislation plainly carves out the President and his family from the legislation’s requirements. This is how members of Congress can enrich themselves in crypto with little to no guardrails.

Think about that for a second. Maybe you’re just a few years from retirement and worried about how you’ll pay the rent. At the same time, Trump is trying to rig the system so that his family can profit even further from a volatile, largely unregulated market. It’s as if he’s making the argument, “Regulations for you, but not for you.” This isn't about innovation; it's about exploitation.

Predatory Schemes Target Vulnerable

Crypto’s Wild West nature has allowed innumerable scams and rug pulls to prosper. Who are the most vulnerable? Too frequently, it’s these same marginalized communities and those without the highest levels of financial literacy. These are the Americans who can least afford to lose their hard-earned money.

  • Immigrant communities, often targeted with promises of quick wealth.
  • Senior citizens, susceptible to sophisticated scams.
  • Low-income individuals, desperate for financial opportunities.

This legislation, as it stands now, fails to appropriately safeguard these at-risk groups. It would be comparable to handing a child a machine gun. It's a disaster waiting to happen. These bills are being fast-tracked through without any appropriate consumer guardrails, opening the floodgates for predatory schemes to prosper. Where are the consumer protections? Where is the oversight? They’re gone, conveniently out of the way as the derivative aristocracy gets ready to chow down.

Wall Street 2.0 is Coming

Remember 2008? The financial crisis caused by unregulated derivatives? Crypto, as we know it today, is no different. It’s opaque, inscrutable, and open to all manner of crazy speculation. Do you know who is lobbying most aggressively for this bill? The very same Wall Street titans who took us to the brink during the previous crisis. They see crypto as an opportunity to enrich themselves on your dime. All the while, they’re at the same time feverishly lobbying to make sure the rules work in their favor.

Coinbase’s executive expressing disappointment? Don't fall for it. This is all part of the show. Powerful interests in the crypto space have poured vast sums into getting “crypto-friendly” lawmakers elected. They're not interested in protecting consumers; they're interested in protecting their profits.

"Responsible Regulation" is a Lie

Fairshake, the crypto super PAC, argues that voters don’t like it when Congress “plays politics with crypto” and that they should pass “responsible regulation.” They call it “responsible regulation,” but that’s just an excuse. Their aim is to pursue a thin veneer of legitimacy for their industry while avoiding any substantive oversight.

Imagine letting the fox guard the henhouse. That's essentially what's happening here. The folks who stand to make a killing on these bills are the ones busy writing them. They’re ensuring that any regulations that are issued are weak, ineffective, and riddled with loopholes.

Your Voice Is Being Ignored

Ultimately, this "Crypto Week" fiasco is about one thing: power. The powerful are using their money and influence to push through legislation that benefits them while ignoring the concerns of everyday Americans. They're betting that you won't pay attention, that you won't understand the complexities of crypto, and that you won't fight back.

“Crypto Week” in the House would be a catastrophe for you—unless you raise hell and make them pay a price for this craziness. Letting these wealthy elites destroy your future would be a huge mistake. Take action today, while there is still time to effect change…

This is what you can do:

  • Contact your representatives. Tell them you oppose this legislation in its current form. Demand stronger consumer protections and real oversight.
  • Share your story. Have you been affected by crypto scams or volatility? Share your experience on social media. Let your voice be heard.
  • Join the fight. Support organizations that are advocating for responsible crypto regulation.

"Crypto Week" in the House is a disaster for you, unless you stand up and fight back. Don't let the wealthy elites steal your future. Make your voice heard, before it's too late.
