Bitcoin, Bluster, and Bureaucratic Buffoonery: Congress Gets Cryptic

Now, this little legislative gem has garnered 18 co-sponsors, with Golden being the lone Democrat in a sea of Republicans, including the likes of Reps. Buddy Carter, Ben Cline, Burgess Owens, Mike Lawler, and Matt Van Epps. It’s all rather like a cricket match where one side has turned up in full pads and the other’s still in their pajamas. The bill builds on the earlier BITCOIN Act, introduced by Begich and Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) back in July 2024 and spruced up in March 2025. Apparently, it’s all part of a grand scheme to turn President Donald Trump’s March 2025 executive order into something a bit more, shall we say, durable.
