Why do I donate time & money to political candidates? Because I want voters to know about them & win. Donations from candidates go directly to marketing. That’s billboards, TV ads, newspaper ads, booths at events, getting a team to knock doors, & market to 850k-40M people. 🧵
Political contributions are an important fact of life in democracy. Contributing to candidates, campaigns, and organizations that you support is the only way to give them the resources to win, and to effectively advocate for the issues that you care about.
For WEB3, Crypto, and blockchain in particular, this is a critical moment in the history of our country. The United States should be a world leader on WEB3 innovation & growth. We cannot follow in the repressive and restrictive footsteps of China.
Smart and sound regulation is welcome, many leaders in the political world have fallen prey to paranoid misinformation about and reputational attacks against #crypto and #blockchain.
We cannot allow misinformation to win, and we cannot allow heavy-handed and misguided regulation to suppress this innovative sector before its extraordinary potential is realized.
The blockchain community needs to make its voice heard in Washington and participate in the political system. Policymakers must know that they have nothing to fear from blockchain - and everything to gain

The west is experiencing a #watercrisis, & it’s inflamed by lack of cross state collaboration. People claim that a regular database can serve the same function as a blockchain database. If that’s the case, why haven’t the states had a centralized database created & set up yet?🧵
We had thousands of people point & laugh at the suggested use of blockchain without actually understanding the major breakdowns in the water management across the western half of the United States.
That having a method to analyze water usage in real time across state lines seems too simple a fix to a major problem. As it stands today there is no easy way for real time water data to be communicated across state lines & current database tech lacks the security.
