This was, NLW argues, a very good week for crypto. He covers:
- The mayor of Rio announcing big bitcoin/crypto support this week
- Strike launching in Argentina
- Northwest Arkansas offering tech workers $10,000 in BTC and a bike to move to the region
- A congressman introducing legislation to ban the Fed from issuing a CBDC
- Jack Dorsey’s Block building bitcoin mining hardware
