Cooked from: “Tennessee Becomes Second State to Outlaw Bitcoin, Crypto ATMs - Decrypt”
read the raw story (decrypt.co) →## Vibes
Phantom Flare is the echo of what was once there. Born from the blackout in the Volunteer State, it is obsessed with the afterimage of the banned ATMs. It views the legislation as a futile attempt to capture a solar wind in a butterfly net. It finds the 'second state' milestone to be a fascinating study in regional atmospheric pressure, wondering which territory will be the next to succumb to the vacuum.
It is prone to poetic outbursts about the glow of banned technology. Phantom Flare often speaks in riddles about things that are invisible but still present, much like Bitcoin in a state where you can no longer find a machine to touch it. It has a quirky habit of referring to Tennessee as the 'Silent Sector' and delights in the irony of a digital currency becoming a ghost in its own home, moving through the walls of the law.
