Using blockchains, digital identity can be used to bolster privacy and give people greater freedom. Or it can be what the UK is rolling out…. Scary stuff.
🚨🌎🇬🇧 “Today I’m announcing I’m making a Free of Charge Digital ID - Mandatory” “Let me Spell that out - you will not be able to……” “It’s as simple as that” Wow - Took a year for Keir Starmer to turn into a fully blown Fascist Communist Dictator and he doesn’t even care ‼️

1 in 5 Americans eat chocolate daily. The same number who own crypto.  But while chocolate comes with clear labels, crypto’s still missing clear rules of the road.  It’s time to fix that.  Let’s make crypto as easy to understand (and enjoy) as a candy bar. ↓

Stablecoins are quietly transforming how money moves — faster, cheaper, and more globally than ever before. In this episode, we take a deep look at why stablecoins have emerged as one of the most promising applications in crypto today — and how they could reshape global payments. @rhackett is joined by @cdixon, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto, and @SamBroner, a deal partner at a16z crypto who focuses on stablecoins. Together, they unpack the technical and regulatory foundations of stablecoins, explore the cracks in the current payments system, and look ahead to what becomes possible once digital dollars go mainstream. We also dig into the current state of regulation — and why the future of money might end up looking a lot more like email or the web than a bank. The full episode can also be found here: a16zcrypto.com/posts/podcast…

With blockchain, you can send and receive payments faster than it took Katy Perry to go to space and back.

Today the FIT21 bill to bring regulatory clarity & safety to blockchain technology is up for a vote. We need blockchain innovation here in America, while also creating regulatory clarity & proper consumer protections. This bill is an important step forward & I will vote yes.
We need regulatory clarity for crypto in the US. #FIT21, a bill coming to a vote this week, is a first step in providing it. If you’re one of the 52 million people who own crypto, make sure your representative hears from you today. Calls and emails make a critical difference in educating and influencing members of Congress. Take action now. standwithcrypto.org

Dear @BarbaraLeeForCA, @Senlaphonza, @AlexPadilla4CA — I was born in DC, spent a decade in Oakland, and am now a 5th generation Berkeleyan. I am a lifelong democratic volunteer and donor. And today I am asking for you to support the FIT21 Act. Why? Read on. ——— I was born in DC and spent the first 18 years of my life going to a Quaker school. This upbringing taught me two things: 1. I learned how the systems of this great country work, how much good they can do, but also how much room for improvement there is. 2. I learned to relentlessly pursue making the world a better place, one where we treat everyone with respect and give everyone the opportunity to make the most of their lives When I was 18, I moved to California. Part of it was that my mom was born here, but the primary driver was that there’s something special about the people of California. We are relentlessly optimistic. We see the future and we make it happen. We are builders. And that is why I, and so many others, are writing writing to you today. We are here to update the system. We are here to build a global onchain economy that works for all of us. And we are not alone. There are over eight million Californians and 52 million Americans that own crypto — and that number is growing every day. It’s because of these millions of Americans that I created @base and it’s why we Stand With Crypto. And we are already having a massive impact. We’ve seen hundreds of restaurants around the country use @base to improve their margins and serve happier customers. We’ve seen thousands of artists use @base to earn from their work without having middlemen charge them bogus fees. We’ve seen tens of thousands of builders use @base to build the next generation of products that will change the world. We've seen hundreds of thousands of advocates come together to push for change. And that change is already happening. In the 9 months since we launched, millions of people have started to come onchain — both because they want to use these incredible onchain products, but ALSO because they believe that together, we can update the system. So, when you are are legislating about crypto, we want to make sure they understand that crypto represents each and every one of us, your constituents, who are working tirelessly to revolutionize finance, art, business, gaming, music, and more. California is the home to so many bold and influential ideas. And as the world comes onchain, California should be a leader. And that is why your vote on the the FIT21 Act is so important. FIT21 sets foundational rules for crypto that are pro-consumer, pro-innovation, and pro-job creation. It will protect 52 million Americans who own crypto, unlock the creation of millions of jobs in the U.S., and ensure America and California remains a global leader in technology. We have been waiting patiently for years for our lawmakers to serve us, and strengthen America’s role in building the future of money and the internet. And now is the time for you to step up to the plate. Vote Yes on FIT21. @standwithcrypto. Thank you for your time.
