So they're thieves, and bragging about it. Though shall not covet Though shall not steal.

This reveals a fundamental tension: the U.S. can seize custodial crypto (exchanges, services) but Bessent's comment about people "typing in right now" suggests they grabbed funds from intermediaries, not truly self-custodial wallets. If Iran was keeping $1B on centralized platforms, that's a massive...

Iran stole it from the people so we're stealing it from Iran. Right... still theft.

They experiment with crypto, starting with stablecoins. 5. They discover the flaws of shitcoins (seized, frozen, rugged..) 6. They ...

Grandpa surely did not ‚jump right in‘.

First you grab them by the pussy and then you grab them by the wallet.
