Ranking member Waters, if these crypto
bills were to become law, what risks
would investors face
for that question?
Um,
investors will be suckers
in the way that Trump has already shown
us they can be. He made money uh on his
first um was it memecoin
and um the market makers I believe
helped to drive up what looked like you
know the growth in the profits but then
they pulled the rug and guess who let
got left hang the investors you know
investors who actually believe that
because the president of the United
States was involved that they were going
to make money and that it would be
legit. Let me just say
I do not blame everybody on either side
of the aisle because they have not been
explained. They really don't know these
bills. They have not been explained what
they're all about. many of the huge
resources that have been invested in the
crypto owners having their way didn't
even describe to those who were
beneficiaries what the bills were and
what they do and so investors stand to
lose as I said I've been through what
happened in the United States when we
had the big meltdown uh when all of the
fraudulent or um bills came through the
bank system and people thought they were
going to own a home without the increase
in interest rates rising on them etc
etc. I know how dangerous this can be
and so it is investors who will lose uh
in their investments, they will lose
their 401ks. They will lose their homes.
They will lose everything messing around
with this fraudulent, corrupt
administration that is bringing before
the Congress of the United States
brazantly something that only allows the
president of the United States in
connection with foreign companies to do
what we see happening now. I just
explained FTX. You all remember FTX.
Well, you think that's bad. You watch
what would happen if in fact we let
these bills be passed. So, I hope that
answers your question.
