Senator Lummis recently jumped out calling for the abolition of Bitcoin and crypto taxes, and the crypto community is celebrating. But wait—do you really believe in this sudden “good Samaritan” act?

**The Politician’s Game: Your Emotions = My Votes**

It’s an old trick in Washington. Shout out the most radical slogan, and crypto users line up to retweet, like, and donate. As for whether the bill will ever pass? They don’t care at all. Every time you share it, you’re helping her hit her KPIs. This kind of “lip service vote-grabbing” has long been standard in American politics.

**If Taxes Are Really Gone, Who Wins in the End?**

Don’t be naive—the biggest beneficiaries aren’t retail investors at all:

- **Wall Street’s Ticket In**: Giants like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are worried about the heavy tax burden of allocating large-scale crypto assets. Now someone’s calling for tax exemptions—it’s basically rolling out the red carpet for them. You think you’re saving money, but in reality, you’re just clearing the way for future financial behemoths who will crush you.

- **Regulatory Bait**: Tax exemption is the sugar, but it definitely comes with stricter KYC, transaction tracking, and anti-money laundering clauses. This is “sweet first, bitter later”—freedom is always sold as a package deal.

- **Transparency Trade-Off**: Do you really think the government will give up tax revenue? The likely precondition for tax exemption is: all on-chain activity must be real-name and fully traceable. A small tax break in exchange for your entire financial map—Wall Street and regulators both win, while retail investors are left exposed.

**Beware of Sudden “Kindness”**

When politicians start pandering to a group, it means that group is now useful to them. You’re no longer an “edge player,” but a “political bargaining chip”—and chips are usually tossed aside once they’re used up.

In short: In the financial game, tax exemption is never a benefit—it’s the starting gun for a new shuffle of interests. When the drums are beating the loudest, you’d better first check what’s buried under the stage.
