Great leadership from NYC Mayor @ericadamsfornyc

The Bitlicense has really held back progress for New York and harmed consumers/business there unfortunately.

@dyaffe Blockchain's still definitely not the solution for everything - but web3 feels like it should be described more like a shift towards "ownership" vs "just put it on a blockchain"

"So we're behind the curve?"
"Unquestionably."

The people in that room, who are supposed to be focused on the success of the country and its people, should have chills.

@BrianBrooksUS doing an excellent job (along with the rest of the panel) at this hearing.

Sure, a DAO buying the US Constitution is cool, but what if they instead bought the USS Constitution? Then Old Ironsides could become the crypto pirate ship... just leave your ledgers and trezors at home! @ConstitutionDAO next target acquisition?

Imagine earning a yield from your city for being a resident? Your turn @ericadamsfornyc

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

Miami Mayor @FrancisSuarez announces on "First Mover" that his city will be the first in the U.S. to give a #bitcoin yield, from #Miamicoin, as a dividend directly to its residents.

@HaileyLennonBTC Pilots YOLOing landings with a full flight seems less than ideal

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

@AllisonReichel Well at least you're not buying avocado toast

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

Good to see this kind of involvement and support!

[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

@FrancisSuarez @Sarasti In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor. NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

To be clear, this is an infrastructure investment, but infrastructure is something that is pretty critically needed as we scale this space up rapidly

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

Probably nothing. https://t.co/kEb9oM4cHt

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

Excited to see how @ericadamsfornyc will go city tête-à-tête with @FrancisSuarez for crypto support and progress. Already starting with that bitlicense handicap though...

[Brian Schoolman @brianschoolman]

This needs significantly more eyes on it and action - if we want to continue crypto/tech innovation in NY, we can't push consumers away from the space or scare startups away. Is there any evidence that this has done any good compared to states which do not have a similar program?

[Aubrey Strobel @aubreystrobel]

I’m calling on New York to end the BitLicense as it negatively affects both companies and consumers in our state.

Notably, of the hundreds of organizations offering services in the sector, only 20 have been issued BitLicenses in the last six years.
