Bitcoin scaled a record high of $123,153.22 before pulling back slightly to trade 2.4% higher around $122,000.

Proposing that crypto losses for financial institutions be covered first by cash deposits in the institution. They are looking to steal the savings of people who think they are protected by FDIC. Keep an eye open to what is actually in this legislation.

The USD is tanking.

There is a no safer haven than a currency tied to nothing other than manipulation.
Zero intrinsic value.

When the USD suddenly craters shits gonna get really bad for US citizens
