Allow me to fact check the headline and the content of this article - the report is not quite positive, but the article’s lack of nuance borders on insulting. I do recommend reading what agencies and government says directly. Here’s page 272, for context. https://i.imgur.com/rPBwHHD.jpg

What's contradictory here? The conclusion is that the government needs to figure out how to deal with the problems of cryptocurrency, and the only positive use of the tech is their dystopian CBDC.

Incendiary, clickbaity, and dishonest might be closer. Contradictory? I’m not saying that. Nuance is important. I think reading the actual report is also better than a summary. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ERP-2023.pdf

Dishonest implies contradictory, no? I'll definitely get to the report eventually, but I didn't see anything in your screenshot to support the assertion that the article linked was a poor representation of it.

Proposition: should we both read the crypto portion and then meet for a chat? I’m curious about what you’re working on, might be fun to meet. P.A. I think “dishonest” implies “lack of candour and honesty”. DC if you’re down to chat!

Yeah of course! I'm just being lazy hoping farcasters will do the reading for me, and I would like it if there were a hint of hope for the government's approach towards crypto. I'll DC you to set something up.
