close your eyes and imagine Trump thumb-typing "unregulated crypto assets"

Crypto facilitates unlawful activities like the drug trade??? I thought the current $200 billion drug trade was priced in U.S. dollars and paid for by same?? I'm going to feel so foolish on discovering the actual currency for purchasung drugs is bananas or Soy Milk. https://t.co/eMhJRvNGbd

This was a major focus of today’s questioning of the Fed chairman in the Banking Committee. Powell doesn’t yet have a plan on who should regulate Facebook’s currency plans. https://t.co/8wHDUFqj2T

Achievement unlocked! I dreamt about a sitting U.S. president needing to respond to growing cryptocurrency usage years ago. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”. We just made it to step 3 y'all. https://t.co/N3tzUKELaK

Also glad chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is at the White House. We worked with him when he was in the House to found the Congressional Blockchain Caucus and he’s long been a champion of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.https://t.co/xZdn2upwe5

Mr. President, one could say the same of unregulated fiat currencies, like the privately operated US dollar. The advantage of cryptocurrencies is that they are predictable and transparent. Regulated or not, useful tools can be used for good and evil. Don't let the US fall behind.

Not content with talking about social media and the census, Trump opines about bitcoin, Facebook Libra, and why crypto currency needs to face banking regulators.https://t.co/bWxf73UkQp

...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!

....Similarly, Facebook Libra’s “virtual currency” will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks, both National...

News from my interview with Fb/Libra/Calibra execs:
— Josh Constine (@JoshConstine) July 12, 2019
-Libra should incur sales tax & capital gains tax
-It’s talking to convenience stores for cash-in/cash-out
-If blocked by the USA, unclear if Calibra will launch https://t.co/RCOPIJMHpb
The FED created $7 trillion out of thin air and gave US banks interest free loans to pump the market. When the fake US economy goes bust, the US dollar tanks and US bonds become worthless people will dump the Ponzi scheme US dollar and use crypto currencies instead. You’ll see. https://t.co/GaXA4e7dzu

I wonder if Trump's tweet about his not being a Bitcoin fan, and his specific reference to unlawful behavior, drug trade and other illegal activity, is a precursor to a Federal legislative crack down on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies? Ignore this risk at your peril!
— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 12, 2019
Trump knew exactly what he was doing with that tweet, he's smart, especially since he wants to nominate a pro gold-standard and pro crypto Judy Shelton to the Federal Reserve. pic.twitter.com/BKe8cTeBJx

Trump's said "I'm 'not a fan of cryptocurrency." That's because he doesn't understand anything about it. His brain is like a child that doesn't know who to root for watching a football game for the first time. He's just pretending to have an opinion. https://t.co/cF1Nw9Rrkl
