Reflections on the Past

This January is not just a month; it’s a nod to Janus, the illustrious god of transitions. Janus had the splendid job of keeping an eye on dual timelines, both past and future. As we barrel into 2021, I find myself swimming in a sea of retrospective thoughts, and honestly, I’m ready for a lifeboat out of here. After a tumultuous 2020, I’ve gleaned that life is unpredictable—just like trying to floss your teeth on a Monday morning—awkward and sometimes, spiritually reflective.

The Crypto Policy Storm

2021 has already been more eventful in the realm of crypto legislation than finishing a giant jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. In the last few weeks, policy news has rolled in like waves at a beach party, and while I could dive into elaborate philosophical discussions about the future, I think I’ll hold back—mostly because no one ever wins an argument with a philosopher.

Government Agencies in Overdrive

As the U.S. gears up for yet another presidential administration, government agencies were hustling faster than a squirrel at a nut festival, racing to release final rules before new folks take their seats. However, the sweeping events at the Capitol were a stunning plot twist, abruptly halting the narrative of these regulatory developments. It’s as if the cosmic joke we call politics decided to stop for a second and say, “Wait, what just happened?”

The Trump Conundrum

With the clouds of uncertainty hovering over the current administration, the focus seems to be less on forthcoming laws and more on containing the aftermath of the previous president’s term. How do you manage a transition when the outgoing president appears to have misplaced his car keys at the most inconvenient of times? Spoiler: not easily.

Moving Forward

As we step further into 2021, it’s clear that our story isn’t over. The dance between regulatory bodies and crypto continues, but for now, we watch as these final weeks unfold with a mixture of disbelief, anticipation, and perhaps a little humor.
