But timing is not the destination, and I believe that one day something massive will happen that will wipe out trillions of dollars from the crypto world. This may happen when Bitcoin is at $200,000 or $2 million, but it will happen. For the uninitiated, a rag pull is a coordinated effort by a focused group to sell their cryptocurrency holdings at a price they are happy with, leaving the foolish masses with nothing but losses.

Congress has finally taken action to regulate the digital asset market.

For better or worse, every Texan owns a little bit of the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Lawmakers from both parties voted in favor of creating the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve during the regular legislative session, and Governor Greg Abbott happily signed the bill into law in June.
