Huge thank you to @SenMarkKelly and his staff for taking the time to meet this morning
We discussed the Clarity Act, why digital assets need clear rules, why developer protections matter, and why it's time for a Senate floor vote
@standwithcrypto @fund_defi
Today weβre on Capitol Hill with @standwithcrypto and @fund_defi meeting with Senators and their staff to talk BRCA
Our ask is simple: bring the Clarity Act to the Senate floor and preserve developer protections for developers

MAGA has realized that the tech bros have more to offer Trump financially than their America first brand of populism, and their issues are going to be set on the back burner indefinitely unless they oust the tech bros from Trumpβs inner circle
And also Indians/Indian-Americans are discovering MAGA racism extends to them too

The EF should never sell another $ETH
Wrap ETH as LSTs, deposit into @aave, @0xfluid, @LiquityProtocol @AlchemixFi etc
borrow stables to fund operations
use staking rewards & interest to pay down debt

You should convert the $ETH to the various LST ETHs that can be collateralized on @aave and borrow against the $ETH
-would remove sell pressure
-would create infinity banking situation by spending the interest and managing the debt position (I bet @karpatkey would help)

Apparently when a crime is committed, everyone in the supply chain that enabled the criminal are liable, so
next time youβre hit by a drunk driverβ you could* use the precedence from Pertsev to sue the:
-car manufacturer for making the car,
-car dealership for selling the car,
-bank for financing the loan,
-insurance co for insuring the driver,
-State for issuing the driverβs license,
-driving school,
-bar that sold the alcohol,
-bartender that over-served,
-manager of the bar/restaurant,
-booze distributor,
-booze bottler,
-brand that manufactures the booze,
& most importantly:
-parents for creating the driver
*Iβm not a lawyer, this isnβt legal advice
Every step of the way it took leveraging many legal things to enable that driver to commit a crime, and sentencing Pertsev just for deploying open source code lol makes the entire supply chain liable for the actions of anyone who may misuse a thing
Driving is legal; drunk driving is illegal
Money is legal; laundering it is illegal
Guns are legal; shooting folks is illegal
Just wait til you see why gun manufacturers canβt be sued for crimes committed with the guns they produce (maybe now that veil is pierced)
Code is speech
Open Source is not a crime
Privacy is a fundamental human right

Hopped on a few zooms and got thru entire interviews. Then at the end they ask me to demo Azos, but claim screen share isnβt good enough, they need to take control of my screen for the demo to record properly (π©big nope)

After leaving @Consensys at the beginning of 2020, I was ready to turn tail and go back to @lyft to work on bikes & scooters
All my new web3 friends said "don't do that, go to @EthereumDenver and find another job"
so I did, and I did
ETHDenver is a life-changing experienceπ¦¬π¦
I skipped school for 2 days in 2018 to fly to the first ETH Denver and go to every solidity coding workshop that I could.
I couldn't afford a checked bag or a hotel, I slept under one of the sponsor tables.
Now I get to keep teaching others Solidity, which changed my life.

The Buffi-Gods herd ye vapid meteorological complaints and bestowed upon #ETHDenver the highly coveted β60s and sunnyβ sweater-weather
"Denver's boring. The weather sucks. ETHDENVER should be somewhere else." π
Friend - you're missing the point.
There is nowhere else on the planet you can go to more effectively tap into the emerging counterculture that's going to improve the state of humanity (and already has).
There's nothing more energizing than being surrounded by thousands of likeminded people who want to think outside the box and try something new. Come for the energy and inspiration. If this is what you're seeking, you won't be disappointed. There's a reason @EthereumDenver has grown every year, for seven years, into the world event it is today.
If you want beaches and a mai tai or the electricity of NYC or Miami or Dubai, more power to you. Book that flight. We'll be here in beautiful Colorado, rocking the fuck out.
Oh, and BTW, the 10-day forecast is looking beautiful (sunny and 60+ degrees) and our food game is strong AF:
