TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Sam Bankman-Fried was considered a moral leader even as he was ripping off millions of people. But no one benefited long-term from FTX’s collapse or will benefit more than government regulators. They’re pointing to FTX and demanding more control over cryptocurrency and ultimately the end of the cash economy. Why do we think they’re going to do that? Because they’re already working on it. SEC commissioner Hester Peirce said this week the demise of FTX could be a, quote, catalyst for more regulation. So why should you worry about that? Well, because as we saw in Canada last year, crypto is a huge problem for governments. Governments can’t control, ideally, cryptocurrency. You can’t freeze someone’s personal cold wallet with crypto in it if you don’t like what they say.
