So the "Federal" Reserve is threatening to sue Bitcoin Magazine. Why? Because they are butthurt over Bitcoin Magazine's parody use of Fednow's name/logo.

“The Federal Reserve recently learned that Bitcoin Magazine is selling t-shirts, hats, and other wearables bearing the FEDNOW name...Bitcoin Magazine’s use of the FEDNOW mark in this manner is likely to cause confusion, mistakes or deception. Consumers are likely to believe that the gear is associated with, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Federal Reserve, when no such association or relationship exists.”

First off, if anyone thought the items were in any way actually associated with the Federal Reserve they would never in a million years buy it, except maybe for the intent to burn it in a protest or something. Seriously who in the **** would A) actually think items on Bitcoin Magazine are actually associated with the Fed and B) who in the holiest of **** would be visiting Bitcoin Magazine and then gladly endorse the Fed by buying and wearing their official items? That's like someone eating at a vegan health food restaurant suddenly seeing a section with McDonalds trash on the menu and not think that that's totally contradicting but think "hey, let me just throw all my ideals and morals out the window and go for this now that it's available on the menu."

Yes that shirt right there is what caused the Federal Reserve to threaten a lawsuit, so without further ado lets get into the response:

''Dear Thaddeus Murphy,

On behalf of the entire team at Bitcoin Magazine, I wanted to take the time to thank you for your thoughtful inquiry after having browsed our online store...You might enjoy our content from the latest print Bitcoin Magazine, which discusses the damages your policies have done to our economy – and our country...On to business. We would like to inform you that while we received your cease-and-desist request, we refuse to comply. We will not be intimidated by your efforts to silence criticism. As you may know, our publication and our readership are deeply troubled by the new FedNow interbanking communication system. We believe not only that it is possibly unconstitutional, but that it threatens the very freedoms that all liberty-loving American citizens should hold dear.''

This next part here is basically what my first thoughts were when hearing they were suing Bitcoin Magazine for their parody collection:

''We do not believe that anyone that is familiar with our editorial guidelines and general stance on the world would ever associate Bitcoin Magazine with the Federal Reserve. We agree with your assertion that “no such association or relationship exists.” We have no interest in causing confusion, mistakes, or deception. That sounds more like a job for those responsible for telling the market they wouldn’t raise rates after a massive monetary expansion, and then went on to raise them faster than at any time in U.S. financial history.''

Ohhh you know that last part hit them where it hurts.😂 Props to them for not letting themselves be intimidated and for their very sharp and on point response, which basically has a sassy '**** your lawsuit, I dare you to do it' tone to it.
