In order to close the deal, Crypto.com had to resurrect $7 billion in CRO tokens that were burned in 2021. This was decided by a “vote” in which Crypto.com validators controlled more than 70% of the voting power — nearly all other CRO holders opposed.

![Though the details were scarce, the press release suggested the crypto ETFs would “include a unique ETF basket of cryptocurrencies incorporating Bitcoin, Cronos, and other crypto assets.” (Cronos is the token issued by Crypto.com subsidiary Cronos Labs.) All of this will happen via the “Truth.Fi” brand, a business venture announced by Trump Media in February [I76]. There has been some controversy over this deal in the crypto world, centering around a decision by Crypto.com and Cronos to fund the deal by “reissuing” tokens notionally worth $7 billion that had been burned (ostensibly permanently destroyed) in 2021.7 The proposal was unpopular among many Cronos holders, and comments on the proposal were universally negative. “Veto. Reversing a burn is a violation of trust and integrity of the ecosystem,” commented one community member. “This is a disaster on so many levels—I don’t even know where to begin. This should be a firm NO, with a veto. It feels more like a rug pull from [Crypto.com], where they’re essentially seeking exposure to the US reserve using consumers' money,” argued another.8 Most Cronos validators voted no on the proposal. However, at the last minute, a sudden surge in yes votes came in from validators operated by Crypto.com, which controls 70–80% of the voting power in Cronos, forcing through the proposal.9](https://inne.city/photo/preview/640/208105 "Though the details were scarce, the press release suggested the crypto ETFs would “include a unique ETF basket of cryptocurrencies incorporating Bitcoin, Cronos, and other crypto assets.” (Cronos is the token issued by Crypto.com subsidiary Cronos Labs.)

Trump is seeking to expand his personal crypto footprint, and his Trump Media company is looking to partner with Crypto.com to launch ETPs. The Singapore-headquartered company is an odd choice of partner for a plan with a “Made in America focus”.

Lead crypto adviser Bo Hines is already hard at work getting “a lot of high IQ people” to work on “countless ideas” for how the US can add more bitcoin to its reserve while remaining technically “budget neutral”.

![Any sense of relief that may have followed the March executive order’s stipulation that a “strategic bitcoin reserve” would not incur costs to taxpayers has melted away with news that White House are already looking for creative ways to acquire bitcoin in a “budget neutral” way.
Bo Hines, the baffling choice of executive director for the White House’s “crypto advisory council” [I72, 74], sat for an interview in which he commented that “there’s a lot of high IQ people working on ... countless ideas” to ~~pump bitcoin prices to profit bitcoin holders~~ acquire additional bitcoins for the reserve, including “realizing the gains” on US gold reserves. Asked by the interviewer if he might consider selling some of the country’s gold reserves to swap them for bitcoin, Hines answered, “if it's budget neutral and doesn't cost a taxpayer a dime”.5
In the same interview, he commented that bitcoin “is different” from the other crypto assets like Ether, Ripple’s XRP, Solana, or Cardano’s ADA. “It’s unique. It’s a commodity, not a security.” Evidently, Hines has not been briefed that they’re not supposed to admit anymore that these other crypto assets are securities.5](https://inne.city/photo/preview/640/208101 "Any sense of relief that may have followed the March executive order’s stipulation that a “strategic bitcoin reserve” would not incur costs to taxpayers has melted away with news that White House are already looking for creative ways to acquire bitcoin in a “budget neutral” way.

Wenn Nazis, Nazi Dinge tun.
Sie gaben mir eine Matte und ein zusammengefaltetes Stück Aluminiumfolie.
"Was ist das?"
„Deine Decke.“
"Ich verstehe nicht."
Ich wurde in eine winzige, eiskalte Zementzelle mit grellem Neonlicht und einer Toilette gebracht. Fünf weitere Frauen lagen auf ihren Matten, in Aluminiumfolie gewickelt, und sahen aus wie Leichen. Der Wärter schloss die Tür hinter mir ab.
Um die Dinge ins rechte Licht zu rücken: Ich hatte einen kanadischen Pass, Anwälte, Ressourcen, Medienaufmerksamkeit, Freunde, Familie und sogar Politiker, die sich für mich einsetzten. Trotzdem wurde ich fast zwei Wochen lang festgehalten.
Stellen Sie sich vor, was dieses System für jede andere Person dort bedeutet.
