leaders are regarding cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets. @SenWarren has preached for decades against the banks. Digital Assets are a way for regular people to become more financially independent and less dependent on the banks. Yet, she and others, condemn #BTC and Crypto. 🤦‍♂️

Architect Walter Crain is visiting from the DC area- since everything is closed in #Charleston he decided to make the most of the snow- and make a pineapple. @weatherchannel #WinterStormGrayson
