here are some interesting points:
  • This would put a 2-year moratorium on mixers.
  • It interestingly classifies ‘Privacy Coins’ in a different category than mixers.
  • States there are ‘legitimate uses’ for mixers
  • Would have the Secretary of the Treasury prepare a report that includes information on “The capacity of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Federal and State law enforcement agencies to track, prevent the transfer of, freeze, and confiscate funds that have been processed through digital asset mixers, privacy coins, and other anonymity-enhancing technologies”
Full proposal available here: https://casten.house.gov/imo/media/doc/blockchain_integrity_act.pdf

Who the hell is US congress to decide about Bitcoin. Did they invent it or have patent? They are just trying to confuse people or may be they themselves are confused.

I posted about this last week before they had finalized a title. Just look at who the Members who signed are. Sean Casten employed SBF’s brother until he left to form a nonprofit. Brad Sherman asked to turn off crypto like a light switch… these people are the fringe minority and their own party in the House doesn’t believe in what they believe in
