Decentralized and Definitely Confused
Politicians getting into crypto is like your grandma discovering TikTok—confusing, chaotic, and somehow going viral for all the wrong reasons. One day they’re warning the public about the dangers of “unregulated cyber tokens,” and the next they’re dropping their own coin called “PatriotChain” backed by vibes and a bald eagle GIF. They hold hearings where they ask if Dogecoin can be taxed like property, then propose a bill to regulate “all blockchain activity within a 50-mile radius.” Half of them think Ethereum is a prescription drug, and the other half are just trying to figure out why their MetaMask wallet won’t connect. It’s not legislation—it’s live comedy with a C-SPAN budget.
