The Skull of Satoshi was originally built to call attention to blockchain energy usage, and today it’s a symbol and reminder of Bitcoin’s incredible staying power to many around the world (including me!).
As crypto and blockchain technologies become widely used, respected and understood – it’s past time that we set aside our differences and work together to move the industry forward. I hope this gesture continues to remind folks that we (BTC, XRP, and other crypto communities) have more in common than we think.
Senator Cynthia Lummis just canceled a planned meeting with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
No reschedule. No explanation.
And just like that, a major chance for cross-chain crypto dialogue vanished.
Here’s why that matters — and what it reveals. ⚔️
Heading to DC to champion sensible pro-crypto legislation around stablecoins and market structure, and I’m very encouraged to see our elected officials look at crypto as it should be – a multichain industry.
That said, @SenLummis, as Chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee, canceled a meeting with me (and won’t reschedule). As a leader in Congress and Senator from one of the most crypto-friendly states (WY), I hope you will reconsider and be a leader for ALL of crypto. I invite you to join me on an X Space anytime (or a live convo onstage at one of the many events we cross paths at) to talk about how to make the US the crypto capital of the world, as is the goal of the Trump Administration. I will continue to do everything possible to support that goal.
