Senators Warren and Marshall now lobbying for big banks 🙃
Being anti-crypto is a really bad political strategy going into 2024
* 52m Americans have used crypto
* 38% of young people say crypto can increase economic opportunities
* just 9% of Americans satisfied with the current financial system
* crypto prices up 90% YTD
* standwithcrypto.org on it's way to 1M advocates (voters) who want sensible crypto policies
Who could be so brazen as to write legislation that would effectively ban #crypto?
Senator @RogerMarshallMD, the GOP frontman of the crypto ban bill, revealed the American Bankers Association wrote it. #StopCryptoBan

This is the best approach to communicating project status (not just a feature!) I've seen lately. teapawt.org/jasonfried/status/1005…
A brand new invention from Basecamp. Introducing Hill Charts in Basecamp 3. A completely novel way to *see* and *feel* where a project stands. Know what’s known, unknown, in motion, and stuck - all at a glance. Progress isn’t a number —> m.signalvnoise.com/new-in-ba…
