In a world where social media is basically the new official government briefing (we’re not joking), Sacks tweeted from his secret lair that a markup-because what’s more exciting than a meeting with bipartisan promises?-is scheduled for January. Mark your calendars, or don’t, because all you really need to know is that these guys are planning to slap labels on different crypto goodies: digital commodities (go CFTC!), investment contracts (hello SEC!), and stablecoins that are probably less stable than your aunt’s Wi-Fi. 📱

If Bitcoin keeps heading for the apex, we’re talking about just five days before the big “break” – or a nosedive into oblivion. Who will blink first? Stay tuned – popcorn not included. 🍿

Now, the good folks at Wells Fargo and Bloomberg have kindly handed us a shiny, shiny chart-like a GPS but for doom-showing how Americans have more of their net worth tied up in stocks than in their beloved, ever-humble homes.
