U.S. Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) chose the last day of the year to provide a lengthy op-ed on crypto markets, publishing his thoughts on social media.
Davidson wrote: “What’s going on in crypto? Flat or declining markets. Definite vibe shift… Markets have stalled, in my opinion, because the disintermediation use case has been effectively destroyed in America. An account-based industry offers no distinct advantage over the status quo. A toxic combination of regulatory and legal malfeasance combined with legislative inertia have caused capital flight and user avoidance – in America.”
Davidson added: “In 2025 GENIUS Act became law, providing a federal framework for stablecoins. This is an account-based approach, favored by banks, that prevents non-banks from paying interest, fails to protect self-custody and by design enables a ‘wholesale CBDC’…Stablecoins offer the hope of more demand for US Treasuries, which may help lower rates and more broadly distribute the monetization of federal interest payments on our massive debt and deficits.”
[NOTE: It is generally agreed that high demand for U.S. Treasuries is good for the economy because it “may help” lower borrowing costs, as Davidson indicates. Some critics argue, however, that increasing the supply of new Treasuries — even at lower rates — to fund government spending and growing fiscal deficits is a double-edged sword, encouraging a reliance on borrowing that could be perilous in the long-term.]
Davidson asserted: “At some point, the industry and government will offer digital ID to grant permission to their permissioned network for money. Do not be deceived; this is a cosmetic illusion of freedom designed to enable more surveillance, coercion, and control. We need to reject this globalist surveillance state and return to first principles. No government grants you permission to transact, and no government should infringe this right without probable cause and due process…
“You can keep telling your Congress to FULLY ban Central Bank Digital Currency, ban Digital ID, protect self-custody, and guarantee that right to transact is once again un-infringed. It will take a miracle, but I believe miracles still happen.”
What's going on in crypto? Flat or declining markets. Definite vibe shift… A few thoughts.

U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded by calling Davidson’s post a “very important read” and reminded her constituents that she voted against the GENIUS ACT “because it hands power over to banks and federal regulatory framework of Stable coins, but opens the back door for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).”
Greene added: “The real danger lies in Digital ID, CBDC, and no self custody. You think you want to run a tax revolt over Somali scam daycare centers and continued funding of foreign wars, if the government puts Digital ID and CBDC and controls your keys, you won’t be able to refuse to pay your taxes. You’ll only be able to comply or die.”
Dave Weisberger, co-founder and former CEO of CoinRoutes, replied to Davidson: “Thank you for your efforts Congressman, BUT, it’s becoming clear that the ROOT of the evil is the incredible amount of money in politics from the globalists who will fight all attempts to preserve freedom. Luckily, we now KNOW how to cut off the HEAD of the snake: Stop the NGO grift cold. BAN all federal funds from NGOs that donate to political campaigns, lobby or hire politician or staffer family members. (Eliminate tax exempt status for such organizations as well).”

Stop the NGO…
Weisberger gave a shout out to former State Department Cyber official Mike Benz, who’s now Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, who according to Weisberger “has documented the NGO network controlled by the globalists. Hit them where it counts: in their bank accounts. Of course, MANY of your colleagues benefit from the scam, so it’s an uphill road. That said, it’s the only way to restore trust in government.”
As seen below, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told her constituents that the GENIUS Act is “deeply flawed” and “weakens consumer protection, which exposes you to scams and junk fees and could even put you at risk of losing your money entirely.”

Warren added that the bill would also allow “private big tech companies like Elon Musk‘s X to create and control their own money, track your transactions and crush all competitors.”
Numerous commenters noted that any issue uniting the otherwise politically polarized Greene and Warren must certainly need addressing.
