## @laurashin (Laura Shin) · 09-15 21:17 · ♥297 ↻26 💬106 I have a hot take about Clarity that I'm surprised I'm not seeing on the timeline.
In the last election, the industry was left with two very bad choices. The Dems were politicizing all things crypto at the behest of Warren/Gensler and unfairly targeting them for god knows what reason -- a political power play? Being paid by China to ensure the US is no longer at the frontier of tech and finance? Only God knows.
In comes Trump, promising to be The Crypto President, promising the crypto community that if they vote for him, he will get rid of Gensler, create a bitcoin stockpile, protect self-custody, etc.
But come on, how many people didn't know, based on his track record, that this would be a deal with the devil? And if they didn't know it then, then how many people still didn't know it after he launched a memecoin during the Crypto Ball and became the Max Extractor in Chief? (Also, let's not forget about solana:FUAfBo2jgks6gB4Z4LfZkqSZgzNucisEHqnNebaRxM1P.) The fact is that if the President and his family hadn't done so much crypto self-dealing during this administration, then Clarity would have had much better odds of passing. In fact, I would dare say it likely would have passed.
The last time Kristin Smith was on my show, she said at this point, all the details about crypto had been worked out, and the main issues left to negotiate had to do with ethics. Basically, the remaining issues had to do with the president, and not crypto or Clarity itself.
So, did the crypto industry shoot itself in the foot by throwing its lot in with Trump? I'm not saying that Kamala would have for sure been the better choice, but I do think it's worth asking this question. https://x.com/laurashin/status/2099970946161410528

## @CryptoWendyO (Wendy O) · 09-15 23:59 · ♥289 ↻23 💬50 Hot take: The Trump Family profiting from meme coins, and Crypto should’ve been even more reason for Crypto opposers to sign clarity and have a comprehensive ethics package. > 引用 @Dennis_Porter_: Hot take: Trump coin, World Liberty, USD1, and Melania coin are why CLARITY failed.
An unprecedented $1.3 billion pocketed. More than all past U.S. presidents made during their terms combined. https://x.com/CryptoWendyO/status/2100011577986658652
