This week Congress passed crypto legislation. The American people hardly have any idea what it is, what it means, and what passed. 1. GENUIS ACT - I voted NO. It passed the Senate and the House and will be signed into law today. This bill regulates stablecoins and provides for the backdoor Centralized Bank Digital Currency. The Federal Reserve has been planning a CBDC for years and this will open the door to move you to a cashless society and into digital currency that can be weaponized against you by an authoritarian government controlling your ability to buy and sell. Do you actually trust your government to never do that to you? I don’t. 2. Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act - I voted YES. This bill passed the House but we were told all week that it will not pass the Senate because the Senate does not have any path at all to get 60 votes to ban a CBDC. This bill prohibits Federal Reserve Banks from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency. It’s a good bill and protects your money, but will die in the Senate. However, this should be people’s highest demand. 3. Clarity Act - I voted YES for self custody protections. This bill passed the House and will likely get some changes in the Senate then have come back to the House for another vote before it can be signed by the President and become law. This bill establishes a detailed regulatory framework for digital assets and allocates authority between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The most important thing that needs to remain is protecting people’s self custody of their digital currency. This is yet to be seen and should be demanded. I will vote NO when it comes back if self custody protections are taken out. In 1971, we were taken off the gold standard to cash, which was a ridiculous decision and has weakened our dollar tremendously. Now we are on the path to move from cash you can hold in your hand, hide from the government, and save for yourself and your family to a digital currency system where your ability to buy and sell will ultimately be held in digital accounts that you can not tangibly hold yet are at the will of those who control the banks and the government.

Remember when Canada froze the truckers (Freedom Convoy) bank accounts and crypto when they protested against vaccine mandates? Canada NOT China. Congress is passing a bill today (GENIUS Act) that that opens the back door to a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The Fed has pic.x.com/twP0QvbSsPr years. The ultimate goal is to move us to a cashless society and digital currency. House Republicans want a ban on CBDC but the Senate says they don’t have enough votes to pass a ban on CBDC! Johnson refused to allow us to make amendments to the bill and says he will put the ban on CBDC in the NDAA. BUT IF IT WON’T PASS NOW, IT WON’T PASS THEN!!!!! So why are we passing bills to lay the groundwork for a CBDC that can be used against us in the future by another authoritarian regime????? We saw what a politically weaponized government looked like the past 4 years, just wait until we get another one that can TURN OFF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND STOP YOUR ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL!!!!! I’M VOTING NO!!!!!

I will not vote for this. The only way to guarantee a ban on a central bank digital currency is through law. The GENIUS Act does not ban CBDC or maintain people’s chain of custody. Revelations 13:16-17 pic.x.com/Br9iFFSn3p

This week, the House is voting on the GENIUS Act which lays the groundwork for a layered Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) where Americans interact with stablecoins but behind the scenes there are the functional surveillance capabilities of a CBDC. The bill as written does pic.x.com/GmdgX84SIEC and does not protect self-custody. Self-custody means that you control your own money, not a third party. On Jan 23rd, President Trump signed an executive order on digital financial technology with two important clauses: 1. People will maintain self-custody of digital assets. 2. Banning agencies from establishing a CBDC in the U.S. or abroad. The GENIUS Act does not follow President Trump’s executive order because it does not ban a CBDC. House Leadership did not allow any amendments banning a CBDC. This should NOT be tolerated.

I just voted NO on the Rule for the GENIUS Act because it does not include a ban on Central Bank Digital Currency and because Speaker Johnson did not allow us to submit amendments to the GENIUS Act. Americans do not want a government-controlled Central Bank Digital Currency. pic.x.com/NnkeIOH0dEy to ban CBDC. President Trump included a ban on CBDC in his January 23rd executive order and Congress must also include the ban on CBDC in the GENIUS Act.

3. Even more concerning is Biden and the Democrats goal of moving to a digital dollar once they soon over-regulate Crypto currency, which is coming. I am strongly opposed to this.

As Trudeau has gone full dictator in Canada and stealing Canadian’s Crypto wallets, Democrats and Big Banks are lining up to take their cut of #Crypto and #blockchain. Joe “the big guy” Biden always gets his cut. Protect Crypto currency owner’s rights.
