Anyone celebrating this bill without reading it is either compromised or asleep at the switch. I went through all 278 pages. This is a setup.

I've been trading and building since 2012—that's over a decade watching governments play dumb while systematically constructing guardrails around the entire ecosystem. The pattern never changes: confusion in public, precision behind closed doors.

The supposedly pro-crypto promises? Look closer. What's actually being codified favors centralized platforms over truly decentralized infrastructure. The devil lives in definitions—how they frame "custody," "intermediary," "transaction reporting." Each word choice locks down how the entire industry operates.

This isn't about regulation or compliance. It's architectural control disguised as consumer protection. By the time retail notices what happened, the lanes are already painted.

Honestly, it makes me jealous. It's the same deceptive trick... They've been doing this since 2012. I'm really tired.

ngl this is a typical sales pitch trap, just a legitimate scam built on 278 pages of paper... retail investors are always the last to find out.

Another 278-page trap... I already said it, these people are just playing word games. Change the definition, and the entire ecosystem gets boxed in.

Damn, I only skimmed about ten pages out of 278 pages and I could already tell the vibe. This is definitely a scam.

ngl I've seen this routine a hundred times. Centralized platforms are all happy and comfortable, while truly decentralized ones get stuck... --- 278 pages of paper. How many people have actually read through it? Most just listen to some biased comments and call it a day. --- The term "consumer protection" is really damn sneaky. It's always packaged like this every time. --- The defining authority is in their hands. The game rules are already written. We're just lambs to the slaughter. --- Back in 2012, I was already watching their tricks. Now it's getting more and more blatant. So annoying. --- Retail investors always find out last. By the time they realize, it's already all their territory. --- It's that old trick again: "Speak plainly in public, do sneaky stuff behind the scenes." --- Wait, let me check this clause... Probably another trap. --- The pathway has already been drawn. We're just operating within the framework.
