I've worked for over 30 years architecting technology infrastructure for the financial services industry. In my experience, if there is one application that crypto is better at than any other, it's money laundering.
That should tell you everything you need to know about donald and crypto

Also, as they demolish the internet, electrical grid, and physical communications infrastructure, crypto will become actually unworkable.

The company set up and started the mine in Elk County.
After a little more than two years, the company has packed up and left, abandoning the wells and associated crypto infrastructure in violation of state law, according to state regulators.

Trump announced 100% tarifs on Chinese tech. Which essentially halts any new crypto infrastructure in the us. Crypto requires infinite growth and now has zero. Hence, completely collapse of their value.

The sanctions also hit cryptocurrency exchanges Grinex and Meer, as well as the infrastructure of the new ruble-based crypto token A7A5, which in just four months raised $9.3 billion on a crypto exchange and was specifically designed to bypass Western sanctions.

Just so its clear: data centres are not "critical infrastructure".
They are Mystery Factories that can perform inscrutable computation for any digital output, from crypto scams to child abuse material to hospital databases. The broad label just becomes a wide door for harm to run through.

I think another question is what happens to the crypto/fundraising infrastructure -- and how much Stella runs.
When Assange was pulled out of the Ecuadorean Embassy and put in a UK jail in 2019, one enormous question was whether WikiLeaks could continue to exist without him. Now the big question will be whether Assange can exist as a free person without running/relaunching WikiLeaks.

You don’t need to buy crypto to be harmed by it. My latest report shows how crypto is creeping into pensions, banks, public infrastructure—and putting working families at risk.

More evidence that crypto’s success is not as an *alternative* to the existing financial system but to capture the existing payment infrastructure.

Also, we're supposed to care about Adam Schiff *maybe* getting a favorable mortgage interest rate while the Trump family and their cronies rake in millions and billions in crypto, scams, etc and set the federal government's social infrastructure ablaze? Come on.

Yep, I reported this several weeks ago. William Pulte, a Trump loyalist, is using the FHFA bureaucracy to help Trump gin up fake pretexts for prosecutions of his enemies.
One former IG told me: “From beginning to end, this process is highly irregular."
