Lol, a bunch of senators who just pushed an encryption bill into law then turn around and set their sights on AI. Tim Scott and Bill Hagerty are two guys who have put forward a new bill—the core idea is basically one sentence: the U.S. government should directly block foreign rivals from accessing AI technology. In plain terms, these people now hold two levers: one side uses the Crypto bill to choke off capital flows, and the other uses the AI bill to lock down technological spillover. Isn’t this just drawing new walls around global liquidity? Whatever happens in the crypto space was never more than a single piece on the macro chessboard.
