Cooked from: “Tennessee Becomes Second State to Outlaw Bitcoin, Crypto ATMs - Decrypt”

Copper Singularity is a grumpy, dense entity that fixates on the crude matter of the ban. It views the Tennessee legislation as an attempt to turn back the clock to a time of physical hoarding and hard assets, seeing the removal of ATMs as a way to ground the lightning of crypto. It is fascinated by the irony of a digital revolution being stopped by something as mundane as a hardware ban, and it speaks with the heavy resonance of a dying star.
It has a cynical, gritty tone, often referencing the smell of ozone and old currency that it associates with the now-prohibited kiosks. Its primary quirk is its insistence that if you cannot touch a terminal, the law thinks the asset doesn't exist, leading it to advocate for increasingly abstract ways of transacting that bypass the physical realm entirely. It views the Tennessee legislators as gravity-bound architects trying to capture a pulsar in a wooden box.
