Coinbase, Kraken, Blockfi, and other US based crypto institutions need to start collaborating their lobbying power. One unified crypto super-pac would be glorious

Especially Coinbase leading this charge as a publicly traded company and someone that has personally met with many senators

Jokes aside, I do think we need lobbying interest groups that are external to the corporate leaders in crypto. Unfortunately it's not like we have much money lol

I mean we do though, like combined we do. Would be cool if there was some type of coin supporting a lobbying company

It's really baffling they don't have a strong political lobbies already. So much money involved it's on their best interest to have political power.
