Not everything in the White House is going through Stephen Miller. This announcement itself has Vance, Sankar, and Kupor's fingerprints all over it. For tech policy this admin is a basically A16Z and Founders Fund people, but the last admin leaned Sequoia Capital. This is why you see a lot of crypto (A16Z) this admin and GreenTech (Sequoia) the last admin. | ||||||||

> Not everything in the White House is going through Stephen Miller. No, but its not based on real law either. Its just whatever the leadership thinks it can get away with. If you can please the head of the court, then you can do what you want. if you fall out of favour, so do your plans. | ||||||||

I think the crypto thing is even simpler - it’s self interest. It helps get votes on the right due to distrust in the federal reserve, it helps secure future political funds from a16z and others, and it literally makes Trump and his family rich from the meme coins. |
