@RyanSAdams @RonwHammond @bankless @BillHughesDC @LiatShetret @JWVerret @Caro_Malcolm @ARedbord @SethHertlein I like to call it "simplify the complex."

@RonwHammond @bankless @BillHughesDC @LiatShetret @JWVerret @Caro_Malcolm @eMikeVC @ARedbord @SethHertlein This is a solid list of v knowledgable people. Which of them can dumb it down enough to offer the explainer i wonder?

Who can come on @bankless and explain the modern financial surveillance apparatus? FATF, FinCEN, AML/KYC, OFAC...the blacklists, the greylists. How does it all work? Who makes the rules? I've been in this space for years and still don't understand these dark corners.

Great report for financial compliance leaders...📚

@CodyCarboneDC @DigitalChamber See you soon!

Good morning ☀️ Today, @DigitalChamber members are hanging out on Capitol Hill meeting with the Senate Banking Cmmttee to talk all things #crypto and #blockchain. Education will always be our fundamental priority and making this industry come to life for policy makers is 🔑

We’re excited to announce the #DCBlockchain Summit panel - Gatekeepers Building Bridges: How Traditional Institutions Will Foster Mass Adoption, w/ @john_avery, @glennjbarber1, Glenn Morgan, Jim F. Vivenzio, & moderated by @eMikeVC! Join us in DC on 3/21: dcblockchainsummit.com

Our culture used to start buildings that would not be complete until 4, 5, 6 plus generations. What good, useful project can each of us start now to hand over to our grandkids?

Looking forward to the discussion in DC with @DigitalChamber. #DCBlockchain @EventusSystems

It's impossible to capture the legal and policy nuances of the security vs. commodity debate in a couple of quotes. Thanks to @IZYcastrowrites for giving me that chance in another of her punchy articles. So Gary, are cryptocurrencies securities? news.fintechnexus.com/so-gary-are-cr…

Meanwhile, the crypto industry is likely to "go back to basics" in 2023: trust and verify with proof, be transparent by default, prevent double-spending and double-lending.

If firms hire talent that can apply the lessons from traditional finance and give them institutional-grade compliance technology, crypto risks can be measured and managed. Regulation Tech Trends into 2023–Total Costs, Growth, Higher Stakes link.medium.com/ggWZMNnlswb
