Mortier, visibly juggling his sense of irony, told Reuters that the bill’s name — the GENIUS Act — may turn out to be about as well-chosen as calling your hamster Beefcake. “It could be genius — or it could be evil,” he noted, presumably before spinning in his chair and laughing maniacally. The root of his concern? Turning the dollar digital and bolting it (with heroic enthusiasm) to a pile of U.S. Treasuries could make it less Atlas and more Humpty Dumpty.
