When I helped build a channel up to ten million subscribers, it was a pretty surreal feeling Here are 4 things I learned along the way 🧵

Most common theme at this year’s BA Policy Summit? America will be the crypto capital of the world 🇺🇸 Which means ABE and @Ardent_HQ are on the right track By providing blockchain education and financial literacy to Florida’s students, they will be future leaders for the U.S.

Senator Bill Hagerty (TN) stressing the importance of market structure and clear regulatory frameworks. We have the human capital here, we have the companies, and we need to move efficiently Education is consistently at the forefront of these conversations #BAPolicySummit

Huge milestone for @ArkEcosystem: our Public Mainsail EVM Testnet is live. Proud of the team for shipping a full-stack, Ethereum-compatible experience from consensus to tooling!

En route to Washington DC with my main man @RayAlva_ARK Earlier this year I shared the Ardent Blockchain Education Initiative in Tallahassee among state legislators Now, thanks to the help of the BA, we’re going to share our mission at the federal level 🇺🇸

We are proud to stand with @BlockchainAssn and push back against policies that hinder innovation Read the BA's post below in order to understand why 75 member companies of the BA signed this letter

Incredible meeting with Cathie Wood and several ARK Invest folks 💪 @RayAlva_ARK and I got to share our vision of the Ardent Blockchain Education Initiative with them Now we’ll be working that much more closely with ARK Educate to foster educational innovation here in Florida!

Billions of liquidations in the last 24 hours. ZERO hiccups for RedStone. • 119k Push updates in the last 24 hours (5x more than usual) • 30% MORE updates for ETH/USD on Ethereum than Chainlink (262 vs 202) in the key 24-hour window. RedStone is THE accurate oracle.

@0xfoobar @clustersxyz @HelloProtokol has been the best in my experience

Hiring staff- and senior-level engineers to build our most ambitious product yet. Seeking frontend, backend (typescript/python/rust), and smart contract (rust/solidity) skillset $250k-400k cash comp, plus generous equity $10k referral bonus if you intro me to someone we hire

Catch up with December’s ARK Education Initiative Recap From visiting school boards and speaking with officials To meeting with senator @DannyBurgessFL We capped off the month at @BlockchainAssn Annual Policy Summit in D.C. arkscic.com/blog/ark-block…

Some high level thoughts during the break as Day 2 of the BA Summit winds down… Most important is the end of my message If you work in Web3 and do not belong to the @BlockchainAssn—you need to join TODAY Listen in as to why and find the link in the next reply to this post 🤝

ARK CEO @RayAlva_ARK and I have really been enjoying the BA Summit One of the highlights today was definitely listening to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) Reps. McHenry and Hill were a dynamic duo as well Post lunch we’ve heard from the new SEC and the CFTC America will lead 💪🇺🇸

We’re honored to share a message from @realDonaldTrump delivered to our members at this evening’s annual #BAPolicySummit gala. We look forward to celebrating the inauguration of the country’s first pro-crypto President on Jan 20, backed up by the most pro-crypto Congress ever!

What a kickoff to this year’s @BlockchainAssn Summit in DC! After seeing her in our monthly BA member meetings, Ray and I were excited to finally meet Kristin Smith, the CEO of BA🤩 Making lots of new connections and people are curious to hear about our FL education initiative

About to take flight to DC with my friend and ARK CEO, @RayAlva_ARK Looking forward to networking with legislators and leaders in the blockchain industry at the BA Summit More pics to come as well as the December Roundup on the ARK Blockchain Education Initiative!

Just when you think the war on our industry is waning, I get debanked. I guess accepting payment in stablecoins is a red flag Thanks @bankwithrelay @pmarca @BlockchainAssn @iampaulgrewal

For the last several months, I have been engaged in a passion project on behalf of the @ArkEcosystem As a former teacher, I believe that blockchain education could be a massive competitive advantage for America And ARK is helping Florida lead the way Here's our first recap! 🧵
