Crypto matters more now than ever. In the UK, censorship is now legal under the guise of protecting children via the 'Online Safety Act'. In the EU, a CBDC for controlling people's spending patterns continues to be explored. Worldwide, AI is accelerating the schism between asset owners and wage earners. Democratized access to information, banking, and wealth-creation investments is vital to the survival of the middle class, and to Democracy itself. And there has never been a better time for the US to take the global lead on responsible regulations that prevent FTX scams without implementing draconian censorship. Crypto now more than ever. It's time to open up access.
