The proposed changes would basically mean the end of unhosted wallets, meaning wallets owned and operated by consumers themselves, for example those offered by the popular MetaMask, Ledger and many others.

Should these changes be accepted, this will stifle innovation in fintech and crypto companies. It is a desperate attempt by the European Parliament to reduce illicit financial activity - which based on research, still happens mostly in cash.

The bad provisions in the #InfrastructureBill might be the law, but the fix bill these Senators have introduced is a clear signal:
🔥The fight for a common sense approach to new tech that doesn't entrench Zuck as Ruler of web3 is not over.

We drove 40,000+ calls to the Senate on this issue and we are being heard. The Chair of the Senate Finance Committee is taking a stand, will your Rep join him? Find out: dontkillcrypto.com
Poorly written provisions in the #InfrastructureBill could regulate #crypto out of existence & make felons of everyday users. Here are a few of the thousands of exciting #blockchain projects that could be impacted by unworkable regulation. (Sharing, not endorsing) #DontKillCrypto

The next 24 hours are crucial for #cryptocurrencies. This is the plan to get the House to fix deeply broken provisions in the #InfrastructureBill: we've built a scoreboard, and we need you to contact your rep if they haven't spoken out. >> DontKillCrypto.com/#scoreboard #DontKillCrypto
On 9/30 the House will likely vote to pass the #InfrastructureBill, but this isn't the end of the story. #Crypto isn't dead. On the contrary, this is a golden opportunity to form a much bigger, bipartisan coalition in support of a #decentralized internet.
Because of the 40,000+ #DontKillCrypto calls already, both Republicans and Democrats are calling to fix this unworkable legislation. Your rep should join them. You can see if they have + contact them at DontKillCrypto.com/#scoreboard
Yes. Ask any congressional staffer and they’ll tell you that calls matter the most, especially when you can generate a lot in a short period of time and they feel like the phone is ringing off the hook about a particular issue. Elevates it to “the boss” aka your rep
Emails are good too but they tend to get a ton of them so they are more easily drowned out, and often there is a lag time between when they receive them and when they report back to “the boss” on how many emails they’ve gotten on a particular issue over the course of a week or so
Tweeting at your rep can be pretty effective because it’s a relatively new medium and they tend to have people monitoring it all the time, plus some reps run their own account and will sometimes reply directly to you in the moment, a great way to get them on the record
#Crypto Update: the House is scheduled to vote on the #InfrastructureBill this Thursday 9/30. This is a crucial opportunity to get your representative on the record in support of a #DontKillCrypto fix and a decentralized future. Contact your rep at DontKillCrypto.com/#scoreboard
We're actively updating the scoreboard at DontKillCrypto.com to reflect which representatives support a fix for unworkable legislation. This is the best moment possible to ask your reps to join them. The plan for the next 48 hours is to do a big push.
EVERYONE: Use our scoreboard to see if your rep has made a public commitment. If they haven’t, use our easy tools to contact your rep now. If they reply, let us know at Team@FightForTheFuture.org. Then, make sure your friends and collaborators do the same by the morning of 9/30.
THREAD: Imagine if all of these activists & marginalized people could never be financially deplatformed by governments or big banks. That’s the future we’re fighting for w/ #DontKillCrypto — there’s no #Cryptocurrency unless we stand up & demand the things #crypto can get right.
