The real public policies that “matter” for Bitcoin are not flashy, performative one-time bills pushing NGU.
It’s the small, boring reforms on bank surveillance and commercial laws defining self-custody that empower individual use of Bitcoin.
“BREAKING” influencers who are loud about the former will produce a lot of noise and likely convince many people online that there is some “good” being attained. Maybe they’ll even raise money from it.
But unless people are sovereign in their bitcoin use, that’s all for naught.
Just something to keep in mind about where the more efficacious work is being done. Most of it is quiet, step-by-step, and nowhere near as self-aggrandizing. The former, as we’ve proven, has literally been harmful for adoption and protection of Bitcoin.
