Law & Policy

As a lawyer who codes (or as @jesse likes to say, I read “dumb contracts and smart contracts”) it’s been a mission of mine to meld the two worlds I’m passionate about: tech and law.  This is why I love being a lawyer in the crypto space, because most legal issues are also technical issues.  You cannot separate them.

a worthwhile read from the hardest working lawyer in crypto - appreciate all you do @dbarabander

Botto is an artist, a community, an art movement—one of the most fascinating things happening at the nexus of AI + crypto. 

We made a frame with @bottoDAO to make the artist and community more accessible.

any great mattress recs? i am in the unfortunate position of returning my $$ leesa mattress during the 100 day trial period cause hurts my lower back

nordic skiing may not be America’s past time, but watching Gus Schumacher and Jessie Diggins win/podium in Minneapolis today (first world cup on home soil in 2+ decades) was patriotic AF

Building is more fun with good company around you, & coffee is better when it's free.

Agree? then join @variant for open co-working & coffee @ ETHDenver!

We've rented out a coffee shop on Feb 29 for builders looking for a warm workspace, great coffee, & networking. 

Registration is required for entry: lu.ma/gcq8nxy8

Coffee is good, coffee + friends is great, coffee + friends on Leap Day is undefeated. Come hang with the @variant homies in Denver!
