I’ll be speaking with Senator @cynthiamlummis this evening.
What questions would you like me to ask her?
Discussion
Her specific, explicit position on this, specifically, the right of Americans to self-custody.
seconded
What role does Bitcoin have in your state which empowers you to bring it to a national stage?
Or phrased differently,
Should Bitcoin adoption by governments happen at a local and state level first, or is it necessary and beneficial to start federally?
Good question. I may ask it at a later date.
What are her thoughts on the IMF imposing limitations/restrictions on El Salvador’s use/adoption of bitcoin, and how might that inform the decisions of US lawmakers regarding bitcoin?
This is a good question, but she has also advocated for people being able to spend bitcoin without cap gains taxes and repeated that tonight. I also don’t think US senators are paying that much attention to what the IMF is doing to ES. That said, I may ask something like this at a later date.
What’s her favourite Phil Collins jam?
The important questions for politicians

Yes, ask her that!
Ask her why we are to believe that stablecoins are not a set up for cbdcs (since stablecoins aren't really stable in purchasing power and will eventually crash when the USD does).
Why are you working against the freedom to transact privately?
See
Ask her if she thinks the bank secrecy act and kyc/aml is unconstitutional and a violation of our 4th amendment rights!
Also ask her if she thinks it is dangerous for government to have these huge honeypots of information on their citizens and of she thinks freedom is possible without privacy.
Why is she not advocating for transactional privacy, or more to the point why is she actively working against it? Why would she even consider working with that screeching banshee Elizabeth Warren?
👍
some think that the best thing government can do for crypto is enshrine self-custody as law
what additional responsibility does she think the federal government has?
I see somebody already asked this.
question of the hour i suppose.
Ask her to share her bank statements and bitcoin balances with the public since she wants to monitor our activity and destroy privacy.
I don’t think I’ll ask her that, but I will ask her about surveillance.
Why ban private transactions!?!
Why did she propose an amendment to combat anonymous crypto transactions?!?!
Data privacy is huge! Does she support federal regulations to protect users while fostering innovation? #PrivacyMatters
Why do you hate privacy?
ill jump on the private transactions bandwagon too. i can give you $20 in cash right now and no one would know. why should digital transactions be different? just because we can track them doesn't mean we should.
Ask why she’s a shitcoin apologist
I mean I guess I'm in the minority with this, but can we do something about the legal regime where any time you spend Bitcoin on *anything* it's a taxable event?
Forget about Lightning network, I don't see how anyone is going to be able to use Bitcoin for daily transactions if they have to account for literally every cup of coffee they buy on their taxes....
That’s part of the bill she drafted with Gillibrand.
Wait, what? The Stablecoin bill? Does that have a De Minimis Exception for Bitcoin transactions?
I mean I'd be thrilled, but I'm not seeing anything about that specifically...
Yeah I think I see it --> https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4356/text#toc-H813011CC5F2343E0A75FB5F94CC37544
Looks a lot like a $200 "de minimis" exemption to me...
thanks!
👍
How poised is Wyoming to protect it's state sovereignty and the businesses that are formed within the state from the overreach of the federal government? HB0308 is already a step in the right direction that can attract bitcoin businesses to set up there, but how else does she see the development and protection of the regulatory framework in the state evolving as the industry grows, especially with regards to privacy?
None. Just greet her and thank her for coming on and then tell her to leave
Ask her why she is talking to RFK JR about an SBR and not Bessent or Powell. Thanks
Based on what she said, she’s trying to gain support from any and all proponents of the SBR as she makes the case for it.
