The Infrastructure Bill has a lot of terrible stuff in it, beyond negatively damaging cryptocurrency. Not only does it define a broker too broadly, potentially negatively damaging a lot of decentralization in cryptocurrency, it also has stuff in there that damages people outside of crypto. There are taxes in there taxing you for every mile you drive, above the gas tax you already pay. It requires cars to add monitoring technology, like breathalyzers and eye scanners to even start your car. I'm sure there is a lot of other terrible stuff in there. This goes far beyond infrastructure needs, and helps the Democrats centralize power.
It's important to let friends and family know this negatively impacts you from being in cryptocurrency. While putting emphasis on the other portions of the bill more relevant to their daily lives. If enough people call their senators this thing is unlikely to pass on Monday or Tuesday. If anyone knows other terrible provisions in the bill please post it in the comments.
What can you do for crypto? Well, first email or call your congressional representatives.
These links above automate figuring out who to call. The call option also has a live stream of the debate over the bill, as well.
Ok, so it's bad; but we still have till December 31st, 2023 to address this. If we can't we can always move somewhere else. Once I figure out the best nation to move to I'll let everyone know. Probably, disputed territory people have been homesteading on for years, or some place like Portugal. Bit more complicated as it depends whether you're trading as a business or individual. You can pay the company Nomad Capitalists to do the research for you if you're close to $2 million, and don't want to pay the exit tax.
