1/ A quick explainer on what happened with the infrastructure bill last night: We were on track to pass the Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to fix the worst issues with the bill, & then Senators @RobPortman & @MarkWarner came from nowhere to blow it up. Now the vote's tomorrow 👇

The bipartisan infrastructure package includes a hastily-designed tax reporting regime for cryptocurrency. Simply put, the text is unworkable. I plan to offer an amendment to fix it. banking.senate.gov/newsroom/…

The Republican provision in the bipartisan infrastructure framework isn’t close to being that solution. It’s an attempt to apply brick and mortar rules to the internet and fails to understand how the technology works.

On Unconfirmed, @kristinsmith addresses the latest news on a bill seeking to raise $28B in crypto taxes. Highlights: * why a late amendment endorsed by the Biden administration could be disastrous for crypto in the US * what the crypto community can do before Saturday's vote

It's hard to overemphasize how important it is to contact your senators right now.

1) There's a bill in the Senate right now about tax reporting and crypto. What does it say, and what impact would it have?
