CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Is Crypto Already Soft-Banned in the U.S.?

A number of prominent U.S. thinkers are advocating a hard ban on crypto.

Wednesday, Foreign Affairs published an argument from American University professor Hilary Allen that the U.S. should consider a full ban on crypto. The argument gives explicit voice to a position that has been held quietly in the Biden Administration, and represents a ratcheting up of the rhetorical war around crypto in the U.S.

ATXplained - Why is the two-step danced differently in Austin than in other parts of Texas?

Two-stepping originated from foxtrot and has been danced to country music in dancehalls around Austin for ages. Influenced by other music genres played in the region, people here have put their own spin on it.

KUT listeners Allyson Lipkin and Cristopher Juarez wanted to know why people in Austin and San Antonio dance the two-step differently than folks in the rest of Texas and the U.S. So, they reached out to KUT’s ATXplained project.

The post Why is the two-step danced differently in Austin than in other parts of Texas? appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
