Storyline

Elizabeth Warren vs. Bitcoin

Elizabeth Warren vs. Bitcoin is the Bugleverse’s long-running regulatory antagonism between Senator Elizabeth Warren and the Bitcoin community. It is a war of attrition in which the Senator’s intelligence apparatus is a teenager and the community’s defense is Ted Cruz asking for donations.

Beats

  1. The Phil appointment (January 2023). Warren reveals her top crypto advisor is Phil, her 19-year-old nephew, whose expertise derives from losing $250 on Dogecoin. She defends the hire on CNN with the full “backed by nothing, only used by criminals” catechism. Senator Ted Cruz responds by fundraising off Bitcoiners’ fear of someone so “Unhinged” (Elizabeth Warren’s Top Crypto Advisor Revealed).

Cast

  • Elizabeth Warren — antagonist-in-chief
  • Phil — advisor, Dogecoin casualty
  • Senator Ted Cruz — opportunistic ally of Bitcoin, ally mostly of himself

Themes

Regulation by anecdote; the interchangeability of “crypto” and “Bitcoin” in Washington; every crisis as a fundraising opportunity.
