Key Points: 
  • Meanwhile, farm income reached record highs,” said Joshua Sewell, Director of Research & Policy, Taxpayers for Common Sense.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22, 2024 PRNewswire/ -- On January 10, 2024, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) gave official approval to 11 Financial Institutions to create a "spot bitcoin ETF" (Exchange-Traded Fund). This long-awaited and controversial government approval basically allows these 11 Financial Institutions to now offer to the public the opportunity to buy "bitcoin" easily and safely as if it were simply a stock in a mutual fund on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or Chicago Board of Trade, instead of investors still having to figure out how to buy it on a "Crypto Exchange" (e.g. Coinbase) as a "mysterious" and "dangerous" cryptocurrency. 

Key Points: 
  • I am proud to announce that my campaign is one of the first to ever accept donations in bitcoin.
  • This approval is recognized worldwide as the biggest event in the history of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
  • So, how does this financial world news impact the highly contested U.S. Congressional Race CA 32 in Los Angeles, California?
  • Pierce is the Chairman of The Bitcoin Foundation, the longest established Bitcoin advocacy organization in the world.
