This is a great decision by the OK state legislature. It protects Oklahomans’ liberty from an out of control federal gov’t that wants total control over its citizens. Would love to see Iowa do the same! We already have successful mining ops here. Creating a crypto safe haven… x.com/i/web/status/1… x.com/Dennis_Porter_…

@balajis has written a great summary of why Bitcoin is so important. This is why I first fell 'down the rabbit hole' 11 years ago. Bitcoin changed how I think - not just about money, but how we operate as a society. I intend to be the most pro-crypto member of Congress once… x.com/i/web/status/1… x.com/balajis/status…

@MaherLinds87412 @realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @NikkiHaley This IS part of my platform. I intend to be the strongest advocate for digital assets and crypto in Congress. Americans need access to hard money that doesn’t lose 5-10% of its purchasing power every year. What’s more important than that?

Glad to see @realDonaldTrump taking a stand against CBDCs! Americans need access to hard money like gold and Bitcoin. But we don't need 'money' that unelected bureaucrats can block access to, at their whim. Where do @RonDeSantis and Neocon @NikkiHaley stand on CBDCs? x.com/Malcolm_fleX48…

Unpopular opinion (for crypto people): Yes there's a lot to disagree with in the @GaryGensler interview today. But he's right in that the crypto industry needs to be cleaned up. It's riddled with scams and 'rug pulls'. This industry is starved for real leadership. x.com/kvirgil/status…

#SEC Chairman Gensler on #CNBC now: "We don't need more digital currencies. The US dollar, euro and yen are already digital." I don't even know where to begin with this ignorant comment. Crypto was created to act as an alternative to the systemic failures of fiat currency.

RIP 'crypto banks', an abomination that should never have happened. Nexo was the lone survivor after Celsius, Voyager & BlockFi failed. This clears the field for better & transparent DeFi apps that aren't run by polyamorous kids on a tropical island. theblock.co/post/192204/cr…

Folks, if we haven't learned this lesson by now then today is more reinforcement. Crypto is disruptive tech but the industry is drowning in greed and fraud. Centralized exchanges are 😱☠️⚠️ https://t.co/0di0DU21Yp

The crypto community is celebrating how 'energy-efficient' $ETH is (free burritos at @ChipotleTweets!), but not many are pointing out how the SEC is now claiming jurisdiction over it. Terrible situation for a 'censorship-resistant' blockchain to be in. kevinvirgil.substack.com/p/for-ethereum…

The people who oppose #Bitcoin and #Ethereum won't change their minds because blockchain energy consumption just dropped 99%. Energy consumption is a smokescreen. Their true objections are more philosophical and fear-based. x.com/haydenzadams/s…

The most important conference in crypto kicks off next week! I'm excited to be a part of it, and to learn about what's being created during BUIDL Season. It's not too late to get your tix for @MessariCrypto #Mainnet2022 if you haven't already. pic.twitter.com/CGGscK9EBH

Great article and well stated. It is impossible for US crypto companies to comply with the law when the supposed lawmaker refuses to tell the community what the law is. Time for Gensler to go back to academia. forbes.com/sites/roslynla…

My op-ed was published in @decryptmedia today. Bear markets are essential for clearing out the excess of bull markets (e.g. 20% APY stablecoins). They're also when the most successful crypto projects are built. #Metaverse decrypt.co/101118/bear-ma…

#Crypto community, can we all now agree that reflexively supporting all of your favorite party's politicians isn't a great idea? For 23 years NYC voters did just that for @chuckschumer. Now he intends to kill #DeFi and protect the banks that almost cratered our economy in 2008. x.com/evan_van_ness/…

@SenShelby just shut down the #crypto amendment to protect his biggest donors (the banks you bailed out in 2008). He's 87 & retiring. His CoS @KatieBoydBritt is his anointed successor. Hmm, I wonder if an army of enraged Twitter power users may put a dent in her plans...?

I’m a resident of Virginia and long-time crypto advocate, and am deeply disturbed by the amendment that VA senator @MarkWarner has proposed to the infrastructure bill. This will stifle innovation and move high-value jobs and talent out of the USA.

Sen @MarkWarner has betrayed his roots as a venture capitalist by introducing a bill that threatens to curtail America’s ability to compete. Crypto and #DeFi are our best chance to change the financial services industry for the better, and Warner has sided with the status quo.
