Crypto lovers go all in on the Constitution

16 minutes

Crypto enthusiasts came through. They’ve raised $40 million to buy a rare copy of the U.S. Constitution that’s up for auction to put it back in “the hands of the people.” We’ll explain how this all ties into what’s happening in the crypto space. Plus, why inflation is hitting some parts of the United States harder than others and the problem with Biden’s plan to open ports 24/7. Oh, and smiling quokkas!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

“A group of crypto investors is trying to buy a copy of the Constitution — for $40 million” from CNN

“Truckers Steer Clear of 24-Hour Operations at Southern California Ports” from The Wall Street Journal
