We then examine the political ramifications of cryptocurrency within the US. Highlighting the recent New York Magazine piece centered around the Democrats Crypto pivot as well as Mark Cuban's election related statement leads to discussion about how the Democrat's negative approach to crypto as a whole might just end up costing them the November election. The effort to include previous anti-crypto verbiage into a "must pass" bill is also brought up leading to praise that now crypto has a force in Washington to defend itself against such attacks. Donald Trump's recent embrace of Bitcoin mining and his tweet claiming to want all the remaining Bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA is also addressed.
Also noted is the news that the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China the largest bank in the world published a note to investors outlning Bitcoin's advantages over gold and other traditional assets. This is taken as big news.
