I got a 16 core CPU and 128GB of RAM coming tomorrow. 😎

I gotta say, this is really bad decision coming from a real estate developer. They would have to demolish everything and rebuild from the ground up. All the concrete is compromised due to the salt air environment and it hasn't been maintained at all since 1963. It's a great location for a prison but damn, the sheer expense for the limited occupancy. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp9s7ns8cnk82r07ztejxe2wgjklvqcgxwg8ftmeqfrs24ft670chqqswen8rxczycnp9y0hdrm7g4d0y3xjgpkqyunhn244vg8uunhs2ddgugf4qf

Democrats Stall Stablecoin/Crypto Bills Amid Trump Ties, Ethics Concerns Democrats Stall Stablecoin/Crypto Bills Amid Trump Ties, Ethics Concerns Efforts to pass crypto legislation in the US Senate face mounting resistance amid growing ethical concerns around US President Donald Trump’s ties to crypto. As https://cointelegraph.com/news/senate-crypto-bills-trump-ethics-concerns , crypto exchange Binance and World Liberty Financial (WLFI). https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/0193b63a-0663-7440-bc6f-a0b67360.jpg?itok=pALwpQlj The senators called for an urgent probe, warning the deal may violate the US Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and federal bribery statutes. At the center of the controversy is WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin, reportedly chosen for a $2 billion investment MGX plans to make into Binance. The senators said the transaction amounts to a potential backdoor for foreign influence and self-enrichment, with Trump’s allies allegedly set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars: “This deal raises the troubling prospect that the Trump and Witkoff families could expand the use of their stablecoin as an avenue to profit from foreign corruption.” Further complicating ethics concerns, Trump https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/05/trump-hosts-fancy-dinner-crypto-czar-ethics/83466076007/  a $1.5 million-per-plate dinner on May 5 at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

The fallout is already being felt in Congress. Some Democratic lawmakers are https://cointelegraph.com/news/democrats-pull-support-gop-stablecoin-bill  before advancing any legislation, while others question whether Trump’s personal stake in digital assets is undermining bipartisan support for crypto regulation. On May 5, Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaled a willingness to amend the GOP-backed stablecoin legislation to pass the bill in the coming weeks. Presently, stablecoins have no federal regulatory system, which lawmakers say would improve investor confidence and enable growth. The GENIUS Act, sponsored by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), is intended to create such a system and has bipartisan support in the Senate.  However, after announcing they would support the bill, some Democrats withdrew their backing on May 3, citing alleged deficiencies in the bill’s security provisions. “[T]he bill as it currently stands still has numerous issues that must be addressed, including adding stronger provisions on anti-money laundering, foreign issuers, national security, preserving the safety and soundness of our financial system, and accountability for those who don’t meet the act’s requirements,” wrote the group of senators, led by Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), ranking member of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets. The group included Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock (Ga.), Adam Schiff (Calif.), Andy Kim (N.J.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (Del.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), and Mark Warner (Va.). Speaking to reporters, Thune said changes can be made on the floor and that he is waiting to hear what Democrats are asking for, per a https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/05/congress/thune-senate-crypto-bill-00330308  from Politico. Internal GOP challenges also remain, with Senator Rand Paul expressing uncertainty about backing the bill, according to the report. The stalling isn’t limited to the Senate. House Financial Services Committee ranking member Representative Maxine Waters https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-market-structure-bill-hearing-opposition  a Republican-led event discussing digital assets on May 6. The hearing, “American Innovation and the Future of Digital Assets,” will discuss a new crypto markets draft discussion paper pitched by the House agricultural and financial services committee chairs, Representatives Glenn Thompson and French Hill, respectively. Hagerty, the bill’s lead sponsor, criticized the Democrats’ decision in commentshttps://www.theepochtimes.com/us/9-senate-democrats-withdraw-support-from-bipartisan-cryptocurrency-bill-5852674 “We cannot allow partisan games to derail the momentum we’ve seen over the past 3 months on this legislation. We have a choice here: move forward or underscore that digital asset and crypto legislation remains solely a Republican domain,” Hagerty wrote. Hagerty previously stated that the bill is necessary for the U.S. crypto industry to grow as well as ensure the global economic dominance of the U.S. dollar. “The GENIUS Act establishes a clear, pro-growth, and secure regulatory framework to modernize our payments system and cement U.S. dollar dominance,” wrote Hagerty in a statement about the bill on his website.  The statement explains that the bill would allow institutions to seek licenses to issue stablecoins, define state versus federal boundaries in regulation, and implement reserve requirements. https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Tue, 05/06/2025 - 10:45 https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/us-senate-crypto-bills-stall-amid-trump-ties-ethics-concerns
