Today, I signed the nation’s first charter for a digital asset bank.
With this first-in-the-nation approach, Nebraska is leading a new era of digital payments by issuing a charter to a digital asset bank that can 'mint' stablecoins. Our message to the industry is simple: Nebraska is open for your business.
Congratulations to Telcoin and @TelcoinPaul — and thank you to the @NebraskaDBF team.
A pivotal milestone for blockchain integration into the financial system.
Granted final approval in Nebraska, this novel charter enables Telcoin Digital Asset Bank to connect US bank accounts to regulated Digital Cash stablecoins.
Telcoin Digital Asset Bank is granted final approval by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance.
A historic moment for blockchain innovation, this charter enables Telcoin to bring regulated stablecoins into traditional banking.

Some of the rules for administering state testing are so ridiculous, you’d think the test was the launch code for a nuclear strike. Calm down—it’s 7th grade math.
Parents - when your child’s school has a grad rate over 90% but a proficiency rate below 30%, your child is getting a worthless piece of paper after 12 years of schooling.
When kids choose NOT to brush their teeth, should we blame the dentist? Obviously not.
How is it that when kids choose NOT to complete assignments, we’ve normalized blaming the teacher?
It’s a strange kind of message: act out every day, and eventually you’ll get a reward just for behaving once. Do the right thing consistently, and no one notices. That’s PBIS logic.
Elementary students should not be taking standardized tests. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
I’ve been saying this forever. Students only need four days a week. Schedule Tuesday through Friday, so sports are minimally impacted. Teachers work a five day week with protected planning time on the 5th day.
Every year since 2008, between 93% and 100% of the Steubenville, Ohio’s third graders have scored proficient.
What are they doing?

✅Attendance contests
✅Small reading classes
✅Time to practice
✅Tutoring for kids who need it
