Episode notes

The Fed is launching its own payment network that's literally designed to settle payments in seconds. The same year, financial regulators have weaponized their authority to quash the major banks that service the crypto industry. We don't need the federal government competing with the private sector. That's exactly what they're doing. And in this case, they're trying to corner the market when it comes to banking and financial services.

Representative Tom Emmer is a U.S. Representative for Minnesota, and is the serving House Majority Whip as of this year, making him one of the highest-ranking members of the U.S. House of Representatives. He has been an outspoken advocate of crypto and has rung the alarm bells as to what seems to be the politically-driven debanking of crypto in the United States of America.
