October 02, 2023 Old Man Yells! Episode 2 - Biden Excise Tax
In this episode Bob discusses the impact of the Biden Excise Tax proposal called DAME. With it, the Biden Administration is budgeting a 30% tax on Bitcoin mining electricity consumption.

Everyone, even Bitcoin haters, should be alarmed and afraid of the Pandora Box this would open.
Fight back. Write your congress people, your senators, and your governor (states rights are infringed as well.)
