Hey Casters: big question on my mind today is: politics of crypto / web3 is currently fucked.  Biden admin is openly hostile, operation choke point 2.0 shutting down crypto banking, etc.  Texas introducing "right to bear assets" bills (incredible term) etc.    It's clearly partisan now.  1/x

Great term! Can you link to the bill? Tried to search for "right to bear assets" and couldn't turn any meaningful results 😬

Here is the bill: https://twitter.com/nsmolenski/status/1638196787285565443?s=46&t=We5RknUB2IlTZQG4MaFgkQ

"Right to bear assets" I got from Chris Burniske -- not sure if he coined it or just tweeted it well : https://twitter.com/cburniske/status/1637996854247059456

Aha! Makes sense. Thank you. Wild to see property rights politicized in the US.

If the feds do make a move to regulate non-custodial ownership, it'll be great to have this codified at the state level. Very interesting!
