Thank you to our sponsors: @coinbase, Blockchain Association, USC VanEck Digital Assets Initiative, and Electric Coin Co. The Special Meaning of PGP* The “PGP” reference is in homage to Pretty Good Privacy encryption and is carried over from Electric Coin Co.’s longstanding Pretty Good Pancakes breakfasts held in conjunction with industry events. As the first freely distributed, high-quality public-key cryptography system, PGP was a widely used tool among cypherpunks for privacy protection and has had a major influence on the development of cryptocurrencies. PGP is still used today, especially in the cyber threat intelligence community.

Perhaps you would like to join the PGP* meeting in DC to briefly mention this? I think it would be good for the DC crypto policy community to hear about it, especially from you. Here is the current agenda on X: https://twitter.com/paulbrigner/status/1779875207903096942
