There's a great opportunity for Kamala Harris, right now, to separate herself from Gavin Newsom and support the 5% Wealth Tax, which Newsom is spending money to oppose. Yet her active "headquarters" profile and personal profiles aren't even talking about the Wealth Tax.

Bitcoin hit a high of $126,000 last year. Then it dropped to $120K, $110K, $100K, $90K, $80K, $70K and is no hovering around $60K.
More than a trillion in notional "value" wiped out.
There is no Fed or Treasury ready to bail it out.
But Congress is close to blessing it...
Fyi .. Lawsuit?
