## Resource

This week, the GOP declared it “Crypto Week” in the House. Instead, they imploded. In this brutal breakdown, Contra exposes how House Republicans sabotaged their own pro-Bitcoin legislation — defying Trump, delaying the GENIUS Act, and causing Bitcoin to slip below $117K. With egos flaring and Freedom Caucus infighting, the GOP proved again they can’t lead a digital revolution. Bitcoin moves on. The GOP does not. This is not just a setback — it’s a signal.
