 Thanks for sharing this.  If it’s true, it represents her white flag of surrender.: She now knows she can’t stamp out crypto.  Taxing, instead, an explosive asset class which every American will want means that government will be incentivized to protect the golden goose.

But, as the bot above recognizes, governments can’t really tax assets, except for stationery real estate. Income is much easier to tax, so this idea is DOA.  Maybe she’ll go away, too.
