If you’re from the US, it’s time to save crypto from the desastrous infrastructure bill amendment
A new amendment was introduced last minute that would make it essentially illegal to participate in PoS networks, or running a Lightning Network node.
Ask your senators to vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.
I said something along these lines when I called:
I’m calling today to ask that Senator [Name] vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.
The Warner-Portman amendment would ensnare regular citizens of [state] in a regulatory hell of being forced to register as brokers rather than just as investors. This would be functionally impossible to do and would deprive [state citizens] of legitimate investment opportunities. The language will not bring in any extra tax revenue…the only effect it will have will be to drive innovation and profits in the most innovative area of finance overseas, depriving citizens of [your state] of jobs and punishing them for making regular investments.
Please vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.
