At this event, I'm moderating a panel with Minnesota lawmakers called "Cultural Reset: An Opportunity for Minnesota in the Weeks and Months Ahead."
The main premise and question: Minnesota has experienced much unrest, controversy, and division the past 5-10 years. How can we turn things around?
1. We'll talk about the problem:
-How we've all experienced this issue
-How it has affected these lawmakers' ability to do their work
2. We'll talk about the solution:
-What might be done to correct our path? What work, if any, are these lawmakers doing?
-Finally, how do we see our state (or just our communities) coming out of this for the better?
There'll be plenty of discussion from these questions—including any attendees might like to offer—at this event featuring other panel discussion, food, and entertainment.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS & QUESTIONS here, and I'll pass them along to the panelists. Better yet, get your tickets to this event in Wayzata HERE: culture-convergence.com/tick…

SWC advocates have contacted lawmakers almost 1 million times to tell them to pass CLARITY.
@brian_armstrong has a message for the community that has been fighting for this legislation: your advocacy is working.
CLARITY is at the one-yard line. 100 days to the midterms. Let's finish it.

CLARITY Act Update
• The White House reportedly agreed on an ethics package.
• The updated legislative text could be coming soon.
Keep the pressure on👇
🚨NEWS: I’m hearing from multiple industry sources that the White House has agreed on an ethics package for the Clarity Act and sent the language to certain Senate Republicans this afternoon.
It’s still unclear what the details of the agreement are (I’ve reached out for comment), but industry participants are hopeful this could clear the way for updated bill text to be released soon.

Really enjoyed my recent conversation with @MNblockchain.
Talked Zcash, the recent bug, and why privacy is the endgame — not a phase.
Bitcoin built the foundation, Zcash finishes it.
In a world where AI can correlate, de-anonymize, and surveil at a scale we've never seen, encrypted transactions aren't a luxury — they're a requirement.
🎧👇
🎙 New Podcast
One of the biggest stories in crypto the past year has been the rise of Zcash. 📈

CFO of @zodl_co, @tonymargarit, is a fellow Minnesotan eager to share about @Zcash, how it compares to other privacy tokens...

This week, Stand With Crypto state chapters are hosting events nationwide advocating for the Clarity Act.
Here's where you can find us👇
MN Blockchain Initiative retweeted
The Senate is about to adjourn for recess next week, and the Clarity Act doesn't have a scheduled floor vote.
We need all crypto advocates to continue making their voices heard. Be louder than ever — the Senate needs to hear from their voters.
Here's where things stand 👇🧵

#ThisWeekInCrypto: 20 founders, developers, and Chapter Presidents walked the Hill this week, meeting with 18 Senate offices to make the case for the Clarity Act.
We also dropped our new Zine at every Senate office. The Clarity Act is a key vote. Senators take note.
MN Blockchain Initiative retweeted
Today, 20 founders, developers, and Chapter Presidents joined SWC and @fund_defi on the Hill for meetings with Senate offices
The ask in every room, and on paper, was the same: bring the Clarity Act to the Senate floor for a vote and keep protections for developers intact. 🧵👇

This morning in DC: briefing 20 founders, developers, & Chapter Presidents before a day of meetings.

At @CoinDesk's @consensus2026 Miami, @masonlynaugh shared numbers that should have every politician paying attention:
✅ Nearly 80% of crypto owners are almost certain to vote in the midterms
✅ 73% are tracking crypto policy
✅ 74% are more likely to back a candidate that supports clear crypto regulation

I am extremely thankful for our speakers for investing in the next generation of punks 🤘
