This made me laugh out loud 😂. 1. Ripple has nothing to do with this campaign 2. I've said time and again that my end goal for this campaign is for Bitcoin to succeed, and find ways BTC can contribute to the fight against climate change.

Ripple wasn't created to sell XRP. At least I expected that we would fairly quickly give most of it away either directly to end users or to incentivize builders. I didn't realize how difficult and unrealistic that was.

Deaton is savage

Maybe the first thing you all can do is stop @GaryGensler from land grabbing your jurisdiction over digital assets that have been openly traded within the U.S. for almost a decade. Let’s start there.

Warren Davidson

I’ve been working for years to provide legal clarity (including to @SECGov) for all digital assets, and will continue working. In Congress, the majority party sets the agenda for every hearing and chooses 100% of the bills for votes.

Vigorous oversight coming soon…

The U.S. is not “behind China on crypto.” CBDCs are not crypto – they’re a government surveillance tool. Crypto creates freedom, it doesn’t destroy it.
