How did I miss Coinbase plastering Washington DC with “Clarity Act informative chocolate bars” as a stunt in support of the legislation 

Plenty of money to keep buying W’s with left too: “the industry’s network of super PACs announced that it held over $141 million in cash as the crypto world prepared an “aggressive, targeted strategy” for the 2026 midterms.” 

It’s an open question if Americans SHOULD be eating chocolate daily but I digress

To put a point on this, I simply would not make a big show of how I am buying favor for my minority issue 

1/5 Americans is a MINORITY 

Every minute spent ramming this legislation through is a minute spent not working through the tough stuff that affects the MAJORITY 

I use crypto every day at this point. Yes probably all these laws would benefit me PERSONALLY 

But I want a good SOCIETY not PERSONAL BENEFITS 

Sometimes that means putting a pause on what’s good for me personally. Sometimes that means taking a hit so we all can have better, together 

And it’s depressing to see people who are otherwise against this type of thing cheerlead for it because it DOES benefit them

People have a really difficult time looking at things objectively when they stand to benefit.

I agree with your take here. I find lobbying and the entire political process disgusting at best. This doesn't change because the topic concerns something I interact with.
