8 years in, here’s what I’ve learned:
✅ Back teams, not tribes.
✅ Invest in execution, not emotion.
✅ Choose utility over hype.
Not every revolution needs fire.
Sometimes, it just fixes the plumbing.

Meanwhile, coins like BNB Chain have solid tech. Fast, cheap, reliable.
But the brand is diluted.
They’re trying to be everything — and that rarely ends well.
I got into crypto in 2016–2017.
Not because of hype.
Not because of influencers.
Because I read a Fast Company article… and fell into a rabbit hole of research.
My first buy? Ripple (XRP).
Not Bitcoin. And that was deliberate.
I am honored to be invited to testify in front of the Senate Banking Committee this Wednesday on the need for passing crypto market structure legislation. Thank you to @BankingGOP Chairman @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis and @SenRubenGallego (as leaders of the Subcommittee for Digital Assets). Your leadership - both with this hearing and over the years in championing the crypto industry - has been critical to getting us to this important moment.
Constructive crypto market structure legislation in the US is imperative in bringing about a new era of innovation and financial opportunity, while protecting consumers.
Trump actually suggested that @elonmusk came down with a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome after leaving his administration, to dismiss his right-on-point criticism of the Big, Beautiful Bill. If you thought Biden's inflation was bad, wait until you get a load of Trump's!
Trump leveraged 145% tariffs on Chinese imports to force China into making a conciliatory trade deal. Instead of negotiating, China retaliated with 125% tariffs. China's resolve worked as intended, forcing Trump to back down and negotiate on China's terms. How's this a Trump win?

Let's hope for a green green weekend💚
