The Builders Advocacy Group (BÂG) is a Representative Body: Unifying & Amplifying the Experiences of Builders 🏛️

A Bill of Rights is more than just legislative text. It serves as a blueprint, a profound proclamation of our collective principles. It distinctly underlines the liberties we must safeguard, leading us towards a society that deeply respects dignity and equality.

[BÂG @_the_bag_]

Article VII: Bill of Rights:

1) Freedom of Expression and Creativity: The Builders Advocacy Group (BAG) recognizes the right of its members to freely express themselves and engage in creative pursuits in the metaverse, without fear of censorship or discrimination.

I am in favor of AI company regulation, but not like the decels are. We need an enshrined right of equal access for everyone to the most elite models. If they nerf it for us, they have to nerf it the same way for everyone, including themselves. Similar to media neutrality laws

Commissioner Peirce puts “code is speech” first among her principles for stopping SEC jurisdictional overreach, citing Coin Center’s research and advocacy for the proposition.

We don't force software publishers to get licensed in America. Constitution says so.

And it’s a wrap! All pieces from the @Pizza_DAO : Slices drop have been minted! 🍕

Biggest thanks for being part of this drop goes to the artists @Moxarra @0xVestica @Richi0118 @serc1n @piv_piv @JimenaBuenaVida @LightonArt

Thanks to everyone that minted and supported the artists and hope you all garbed some pizza too.

And ofc we couldn’t have done this so smoothly without the help by the @opensea team!

[SP 🔥 @Sim_Pop]

Giver not taker is a key reframing and restructuring of how we define value individually and as a society.

Value is not just cash money, maybe it’s time we all finally get that - infinite games are played on *that* field.

Proof of Pizza✨

[SP 🔥 @Sim_Pop]

if you've been in this long enough you know...

So many moments that shake everything up, over and over again. And you still show up and still build.

It's not easy to do, to keep that energy and the belief going when reality shows a different, ugly side.

@MPtherealmvp nails what we've all felt at one stage or another...

[Mykola Siusko 🇺🇦 @nicksvyaznoy]

Digital human rights in a massive industry.

This can be extremely overwhelming, because you need to keep up with so many topics, people, and initiatives.

But also, it's an invitation, my gosh, to entanglement (trendy word), or just connection between so many different organisms. In @web3privacy, we expand our spores covering areas of

- investigative journalism as in @FreedomofPress
- data workers as in @timnitGebru
- politics of gen AI as in @Info_Activism
- mesh networks like BitChat
- localism
- internet censorship mapping @OpenObservatory
- resistance AI
- feminist orgs protecting marginalised groups
- open knowledge foundations from @internetarchive to @Wikimedia
- flagship rights orgs like @accessnow
- artists working on surveillance tech mapping
- anti-authoritarian practical stack like @TutaPrivacy
- new encrypted messengers https://t.co/inXU3b5zf5
- activists for various global causes x war conflicts, non-democratic regimes from Iran to Ukraine
- mercenary software mapping, advocacy like https://t.co/iVQcFAJmuT
- whistleblower tech like @SecureDrop
- tech workers unionising against Big Tech
- free software for young adults
- multi-generational hacktivism @DyneOrg

Donna Haraway & Anna Tsing would be proud!

I’ve known @MPtherealmvp for nine years - we collaborated with @ethBounties and @ETHBerlin when we launched BRLN Coin as an early tokenisation experiment in 2019 and we’ve been in eachother’s orbit ever since…

As with all @_humanprotocol episodes so far, learning more about the journeys, the ups, downs and roundabouts of crypto friends continues to be an insightful and heartwarming experience and I am grateful I get to do it alongside them…

Reminder that the BSA is unconstitutional warrantless corporate surveillance of Americans that doesn’t even work

[Peter Van Valkenburgh @valkenburgh]

Around $3 Trillion dollars were laundered through banks in 2025 despite the warrantless surveillance regimes they facilitate for governments. And they want you to think that people making peer-to-peer transactions on chain are the problem that needs to be outlawed.

[Human Protocol @_humanprotocol]

10 honest takes from ep 001 of the pod - @StaniKulechov @aave:

1. It's a marathon, not a sprint and who you build with matters as much as what you build

“Fk the markets”, build with people you have genuine chemistry with and make it feel like something worth doing for its own sake. The journey is long, and the people around you determine whether it's sustainable...

2. Patience is a real competitive advantage

Crypto has a pathological obsession with immediate results. Founders who can resist that pressure and let things mature have a genuine edge. Good products take time to iterate, grow, and develop - normalising this publicly is something the ecosystem needs more of

3. Brute force works

When he needed to complete a three year high school program to get into law school, he did it in six months by taking as many exams as possible in parallel. The same mentality applies to building: identify what needs doing and go at it relentlessly, without waiting for a "normal" timeline

4. Build in a vertical where you feel the pain yourself

Stani built a lending protocol because he personally couldn't unlock liquidity from his crypto assets, banks wouldn't lend against Bitcoin or Ethereum. The best product ideas come from problems you've genuinely come up against vs theoretical gaps you've identified from the outside

5. Don't chase narratives & ignore 95% of the noise

When a new trend hits (perp DEXs, yield-bearing stablecoins, etc.) the temptation is to pivot toward it. This is one of the most dangerous traps for founders. Most of what's on crypto Twitter is noise. Stay focused on what you're building

6. Regulatory complexity can be a feature, not just a bug

His early fintech work failed partly because of regulation. But instead of running from it, he went back to study law. Understanding the constraints of a space deeply, even painfully sets you up to recognise when a new environment can eliminates those constraints effectively

7. Talk to your actual users, not your investors or Twitter

The best signal doesn't come from your community, your investors, or your friends. It comes from the people actively using what you built. That direct feedback loop is worth more than any amount of social media chatter

8. Be opinionated

When there's conflict or competing opinions, the temptation is to find middle ground. Stani's view: a compromise that satisfies everyone often ends up satisfying no one. Lead with conviction, pick a direction, and go!

9. Know when to kill something vs. when to stay the course

Not every slow period is a sign to pivot. If users are telling you something is wrong and you're not seeing retention, pivot fast. But if you're simply in an early iteration phase & building toward something real, stay the course. The distinction matters

10. The weight of responsibility never fully goes away and that's okay

The pressure of managing billions in user funds can be, in his words, "horrible." The personal responsibility of being the face of a major protocol never fully transfers to the team. Accepting that weight rather than pretending it doesn't exist is part of maturing as a founder

[Human Protocol @_humanprotocol]

"I just know this technology has the power to make nonprofits profitable. But I don't know how to do it [...] it's been years of failure and it's really sad."

@griffgreen gets vulnerable about the reality of value creation that doesn't fit the spreadsheet, the continued resource focus on the casino angle and the readiness of crypto for broader human use.
