The bull market will continue but the bottom half of the K is getting crushed and the recent lifeline won't last long. Thank you @fejau_inc 👏👏

Tomorrow the Senate Banking Committee votes on the CLARITY Act. It will act as a dividing line between what the SEC owns and what goes to the CFTC. This is make or break. If we can't pass it now, we might have to wait years at another chance.
