Trump bill fails; Bitcoin plunges
5m
A crypto bill backed by former President Donald Trump failed to advance in the U.S. Senate, prompting a sell-off that sent Bitcoin and related assets lower.
The pro-crypto CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate after every single Democrat (and four Republicans) voted it down.
Reminder: crypto is a giant Ponzi scheme. Its only practical uses are for fraud, speculation, and crime.
Glad to see Congress wake up to reality.

Senate blocks crypto regulation bill in a major blow to the industry
The 49-50 vote on whether to move forward with the legislation was a pivotal election-year test for the $2.3 trillion cryptocurrency market.
