2. That EPA director

is OBNOXIOUS!!

(Apparently ALL of Trump's chosen office holders have been WELL-SCHOOLED in RUDE TALKING-OVER the opposition.)

That is obviously their ONLY tool in their corrupt bag of hateful, clueless debate.

3. This entire maladminstration is a cancer upon all the world

Most especially the United States

4. Senator Schiff puts on the boxing gloves.

Ain't in no mood for this guy's shit.

5. I often daydream about being 35-40 years old again and meeting these MFer's face to face.

6. Coming from a senator

That is taking political donations from the crypto industry and voted to help cryptobros and billionaires and especially the Mango Mussolini, get rich on bullshit cryptocurrency, it's hard to take him seriously. Who is to say that if the right people contribute to his campaign he will stop caring about the dirty water?

9. I was unaware of this....

Will have to do some research.

12. I understand a bit more, but

I really don't see the difference between what Senator Schiff is backing, which is a "stablecoin" -(stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that aim to minimize price volatility by linking their value to a stable reserve asset) and the American dollar -(the U.S. dollar is not backed by a commodity, like gold. It has value since the government declares it legal tender but its actual market value is not determined by the government. Instead, it's largely determined by supply and demand, both domestic and international.)

Both are changeable in value, NEITHER are backed by actual gold.

13. I think you misunderstand me friend

I have been involved in cryptocurrency for a decade and was invested in several different coins at one point. I've been involved with blockchain technology for almost as long.
Have you EVER known an industry advocacy group or billionaires to openly support regulation? Especially of their money? No. Never. That should be the first clue that this needs a closer look.
While blockchain technology has a lot of valid use cases and is an amazing technology, cryptocurrency is a full on scam that is, explicitly, meant to make rich people richer. That's it.
The concept of a "stable coin" currency is complete bullshit.

7. Better to have caused a bloop-dick episode and prevented their conception.

8. For the time-pressed, start at 4:10 and listen for the final 1:20. 4:10 is soon before Zeldin calls Schiff an "aspiring

fiction writer" over Schiff's previous enumeration of ways cuts and staff firings are likely to increase cancer rates etc. Then comes Schiff's response.

11. I hope that EPA director

gets the most painful, least treatable, most vicious cancer that exists in the world.
