Industry-friendly people are now in all the right chairs, nobody’s yelling at crypto firms quite so much, and banks are being cautiously allowed to hold people’s digital coins. It’s all set up for a potentially important year for US crypto policy, if the world doesn’t end first. ☄️

The drop in losses is but a mirage, masking the eternal truth: users are their own worst enemies. Code, it seems, is far less fallible than the flesh-and-blood creatures who wield it. 🤹♂️💸
