Narrative Watch: Regulators Get Rowdy (aka Why You Might Owe Money On BSV)

Last week was apparently "government says get rekt" week in crypto.

What's more, two Senators sent threatening letters to the CEOs of Visa, Stripe, and Mastercard who, along with eBay, dropped out of the Libra Association by the end of the week. The one bright spot was the CFTC saying that ETH is a commodity.
