Santa baby, I'm not asking for a sable or platinum mine this year, but how about something smaller? Like ending the tit for tat ideological meddling by governments in investment decision-making? I've been an angel all year...

So Santa, my Christmas wish list stands at two: crypto regulatory clarity and financial privacy (plus my dream for a lot more financial reform). Adding a third:

Now Santa, I know you are a fan of surveillance, but governmental financial surveillance is a bridge too far. Can you restore Americans' Fourth Amendment rights (and reform the Bank Secrecy Act, scrap the CAT, and halt bad crypto AML legislation)?

Hugs to the Mrs. www.cato.org/commentary/g...

Santa, you didn't think there was only one thing on my list, did you? I know it's important to provide you with options in case the elves can't complete a project in time. Next up...

Dear Santa,

Since I've got my two front teeth, gee, I'd like crypto regulatory clarity for Christmas.

I've even got suggestions: tinyurl.com/ypmhb38x, tinyurl.com/5dfnnbst, tinyurl.com/2fus7vt5, & tinyurl.com/3ak7j3wc.

Kisses to the reindeer.

Sorry, Santa. Was a 41-page wish list too much? I tell my kids not to be greedy this time of year, but maybe I need to heed my own advice. Can I try again?
