I was never one to follow politics closely. Honestly, I didn't care and didn't think I could make any difference one way or another.
But working in the world of innovative technologies like Bitcoin has made it clear—policy matters.
I can choose to ignore it, but it impacts me deeply. It impacts how free I am to take advantage of human ingenuity—or be severely restricted by regulations that favor one entity over another.
I remember a time when my family had to stay up late to make expensive long-distance phone calls to relatives, because that was the “inexpensive” time. Our conversations were carefully timed because every minute cost money.
Today, thanks to advances in technology—and policies that allowed those advances—we can make free calls around the world on apps like WhatsApp. That would have been an unthinkable luxury all those years ago. And yet, it could have easily stayed that way.
Today, we stand at another crossroads—a technology that has the potential to eliminate third-party financial charges that burden so many people. But that potential could be stifled with a bill here, a bill there… and most people would suffer the consequences without ever knowing there could have been another way.
That is why I care about policy now. That is why we spent this weekend in D.C.
I had the privilege of attending the Bitcoin Policy Summit presented by Bitcoin Policy Institute, and I walked away both informed and inspired.
What struck me most?
The number of dedicated individuals working behind the scenes to ensure that the regulatory landscape surrounding this emerging technology is fair, forward-thinking, and supportive of both creativity and innovation.
The summit centered around four key pillars:
1️⃣ Market Structure
2️⃣ Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Policy
3️⃣ Energy and Mining
4️⃣ Human Rights
It was a powerful reminder that technology becomes infrastructure—and strong infrastructure shapes a nation’s strength in both economics and security.
Grateful to have been part of the conversation.
