In early 2023 when I funded the “Change the Code” campaign, my goal was to see if there was a way to turn Bitcoin into an accelerator for direct air capture. The campaign didn’t work, and that’s ok! Note - Ripple did not fund this campaign. Bitcoin’s energy transition in the…

It's time for the Democrats to have a new approach to tech innovation, including crypto. I believe @KamalaHarris will ensure that American technology dominates the world, which is why I’m donating $10M in XRP in support of her.

The SEC's unhinged campaign against us is finally over. Let’s all hope this ends this Administration’s war on crypto.

As a native San Franciscan, it's disheartening to see how the Tenderloin has been impacted by patchwork policy solutions over the years. The community needs urgent support and sustainable investments from the city and state to ensure that it can thrive moving forward.

Chatted with @jonsteinberg31 about the upcoming SF mayoral race, and the number of folks who care deeply about the future of this city. SF comes with its own unique set of (solvable) challenges, and I believe Mayor London Breed remains the right person for the job.

I sincerely hope we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the SEC’s policy of regulation by enforcement. The Courts are rejecting it, and now it’s time for Congress to take the lead on crypto policy. Thanks @EdLudlow @technology for the chat!
