👹 Sen. Elizabeth Warren writes charged letters at crypto groups
🐂 Saylor says BTC ETF is the biggest Wall Street innovation in 30 yrs
🇨🇳 China vows to clarify Web 3 and NFT development path

Specs’ Insights
⌐◪-◪ → Elizabeth Warren sent a very strongly worded letter to crypto industry groups yesterday, which I am pretty sure was a knee-jerk reaction to Monday's headline on the $78M crypto SuperPac. She'll do anything to control the narrative, even harassment.
It is so blatantly clear to me that "the system" wants to shut crypto down to preserve the existing power structure, but many still don't see it.
Just watch this short video, where one of the co-sponsors for Warren's anti-crypto bill admits that the bankers wrote the bill with a "light touch" from the government.
My thoughts? Elizabeth Warren is a despicable and treasonous individual who's a threat to national security and freedom around the world. Pure Evil.
⌐◪-◪ → Saylor might be borderline insane, but I absolutely love seeing such strong conviction.
He compares the significance of a spot Bitcoin ETF to the dawn of the S&P index itself - which allowed investors to invest in all S&P companies at once in 1 single trade.
Remember guys: there are ~900 new Bitcoins available each day for sale, and that number will cut in half in April 2024. Demand shock incoming.
⌐◪-◪ → China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology just took a pro-NFT stance, pledging to clarify web3 and NFT development in a document released this Tuesday.
Specifically, the ministry said it plans to launch pilots related to distributed digital identity authentication and management.
Considering China is the world’s largest country, at 1.4B people, this is a big deal.
It’s clear China aims to leverage blockchain for digital records and establish global tech leadership, while the US continues to face regulatory pushback from the SEC, Elizabeth Warren, and traditional financial giants like JPMorgan.
