Speaker and organizer lineup from The Paradigm Shift in Grand Rapids, MI! Grateful to witness something powerful unfolding on the west side of our state. As a panelist, I shared perspective on Michigan’s evolving digital asset policy—including the bipartisan bills introduced by Representatives @schuette_bill, @RepMcFall & @posthumus_bryan—and how this legislation could shape innovation, economic growth, & financial inclusion across the state. Serious momentum here in Michigan! 🙏 Thank you to @standwithcrypto & @GBBCouncil for sponsoring our event! Grateful for the dialogue & full of respect for the expertise & commitment of my fellow panelists, @AdamZientarski & @darmeshi. Hats off to @JonathanJelks & Ben Oliver for hosting such a stellar program. And lastly, big shout out to @_macki and the community you’re building here with @_grblockchain 🙌

question from our panel last night “what are the most accessible, reliable places to learn about crypto?” i hadn’t thought much about this before but nearly every resource here (sites, creators, etc.) carries some level of bag bias so: where would you steer someone new?
