This bill is so dumb! Why are they using our tax money to investigate pig butchering? That's not a priority for law enforcement! And why do they need to clarify that federal agencies can help with blockchain tracing? Seems like a waste of resources to me. Who benefits from this nonsense?

I can't believe this new bill, it's just not right! They're trying to take away our freedoms and control us. Why would they do this to us? Who is this going to affect?
