2) The good news: after a large public outcry, the Warner/Portman amendment has modified its weirdest piece. First, it removed the Proof of Work reference, instead excepting _all_ validation. Great! It was then _further_ revised, to exclude both PoW and PoS, but not others.

3) Which is odd. What if something has multiple steps to its consensus mechanism, one of which is PoS? I guess they're worried about things which are only dubiously validating? Either way, it brings it closer to being a bit of a mess, and choosing favorites.

Bc @SenatorHagerty has objected, the Senate is debating for the full 30 hrs. This will end around 7pm Sun. After that votes begin on the full bill text, but it is still not clear if there will be a vote on the amendments. It's possible none of the #crypto amds will get a vote. twitter.com/SenatorHagerty…

To have a hookup with the Lord of the Rubble of a once great civilization that people were too blindly self-interested to protect? Cool. I’d rather go down trying to save my leader and country from suicide.

Then he has shown what team he’s on. It’s not Team Crypto and it’s not Team America. Is it Team POTUS no matter what?
