politics

Good reminder to not pigeonhole crypto support to a single political party, but to those supporting innovation & adoption, regardless of party affiliation

Web3 builds on principles of decentralization & collective empowerment. Voting based on individual merit vs. party association is very much aligned with web3 ethos!

Casual Casting 💬

crypto

I know certain factions in the Biden administration have made it seem like crypto is a political issue. But a lot of Dems are pro-crypto and have crossed party lines multiple times (including just this week!) to express their support for crypto.

Long term strategic thinking - this is the way 👇

I’ll be adding support for multi-step cast actions this week. They allow a cast action to pop up a frame inline. 

Might be useful for @cryptopols

Latest member of GOP retirement wave not seeking reelection: 
Jake LaTurner

GOP infighting seems biggest driver. Concerning: many pro-crypto politicians leaving Congress opening doors for anti-crypto candidates

Do your research prior to elections!

Will cast the first @cryptopols frame soon 👀

Relocating my non-English speaking parents from NYC to MN has been a monumental task filled with translating & arranging countless details!

Gotta say, the last 5 weeks have been unspeakably challenging, yet it's incredibly rewarding to see them start to enjoy their retirement here, making it all worthwhile 🥹💜

We are close to launching category labels for crypto legislation! 

Posting a sneak peak of the upcoming updates. Please share your thoughts, not too late to make changes @dfi 

1/ The website is cryptopols.com where each of the currently 53 monitored crypto bills in Congress will be assigned to at least one category

Looking forward to any and all feedback so we can release these updates soon 🙃

Some 40-60 US House members typically retire at the end of a term, not running for reelection. Those tend to be big opportunities to flip seats

In the past few months we've seen retirement announcements from a number of pro-crypto congress members. Important for everyone to go out voting in Nov, especially down-ballot
