But in recent weeks a strange chill has come over the air surrounding the project. Several media sources have made initial queries regarding the project parroting the same question “are you working with the tribe on this project?” At the time the initial answer was “No” as these project were meant to be independent from tribal government and free from internal sabotage or tampering, However recently The BTC Oyate Initiative and Mazacoin are working on a limited partnership agreement with the Oglala Lakota tribes Economic Development Administration (EDA). However a recent meeting with Tribal President Bryan Brewer suggests that the tribe is under pressure from a high level position.
“I had FBI Agents contact me and they said this is illegal” President Brewer said “So I have people looking into it to learn more about it”

This demonstrates a clear intent to disrupt both projects from the federal level...but why?
The biggest and most obvious answer is the fact that the federal govt understands fully the impact that would happen if Bitcoin or any other crypto currency were recognized.
