Every single person in that article has a special massive interest in bitcoin/cryptocurrency because they are all heavily invested in a scam entity. Every one. And each of them want to enrich themselves first directly.
Nothing about cryptocurrency has any value to the average American or even middle income business. There's a reason for that and it's because nothing insures crypto or bitcoin and is nearly impossible to trace or verify. Point of sale with bitcoin is a lie.
All these people are scammers and criminals trying to shove a losing enterprise down the taxpayers throats. cryptocurrency is the modern snake oil. Almost no exchange lasts, they disappear every few weeks. And they are never based in America.
