It was worse than that. It was like a mafia letter. It was like, if you are to support this and help with this, we are going to look into everything else you are doing, and we may then find some issues. It was like a mafia threat. We can't stop you legally, but watch out. It was really sketchy. It was Sherrod Brown, who now is out of office, who led this, the senator from Ohio.

But it was really bad. It was really bad what they were doing.

So one represents a move towards liberty and one represents a move towards authoritarianism. If BRICS were to become dominant, if China and Russia were able to control global currency together and other players, that is terrible. It's bad for the US for so many reasons, bad for US consumer for so many reasons. He's right to fight it.

At the same time, having to channel biology, having this pro-liberty network state, forces in that direction. For example, I think rather than just You know, Hong Kong and Singapore, Hong Kong's been lost. We should have, like, more Hong Kong and Singapore in the West to compete with the U.S. That'd be good for all of us who are on the pro-freedom side of the U.S. to make the U.S.

wealthier, show examples of new experiments to create great wealth. And that's kind of the side of Bitcoin is you want more experiments and competition from the liberty distributed side. You don't want competition from the authoritarian side. So to me, it was very consistent.

And we will see how different administrations react. It's a check on the most aggressive mistakes. First of all, if the debt doesn't get under control, if our deficit is ridiculous, Bitcoin is a wonderful check on that. You actually want healthy competition from something good because you want to check the excesses and the craziness.

You need someone coming from the outside to say, no, don't do that. Let's just say at some point an AOC-like person gets in charge. It could happen in the next 20 years. You need some kind of check on the dollar. And it's much better to come from the Liberty side than from the other side.

Imagine if Elon could raise for SpaceX, like, you know, from regular Americans, I'm sure he would have loved to do that if it wasn't crazy risky with the SEC, right? So there's all these people, they're blocking us from letting the average person be part of it. And it does keep them from climbing the wealth ladder. I think it's crazy.

Joe, what are your thoughts?

Joe, what are your thoughts?

The elephant in the room that's really funny here is that you have the people on the left saying that only people with lots of money are smart enough to be allowed to do this, which I think is just a very funny position to take. You have to have a few million dollars to be sophisticated enough to be allowed to do this. I like your idea, Jake. I'll have a test.

There should be some other way of accessing this if you really want to. I agree. Listen, I don't want to live in a world
