Bankless Nation, the question today is: Is the U.S. flipping pro-crypto?

The United States has either been anti-crypto or neutral since the birth of Bitcoin. That’s starting to change. For the first time, we actually have momentum in D.C. There will be many battles ahead, but right now, crypto is making progress.

What would a pro-crypto America look like? What laws do we need to pass to get there? Who do we still need to convince, and how close are we?
