You aren't going to believe this. Someone literally said that directly making a company statement about this or sending an email to clients would be AGAINST THEIR COMPANY'S "MISSION". What mission is that? Centralize crypto inside of your PayPal 2.0 regulatory moat? What the F?

Who else is going to email their US clients to ask for support? @SBF_FTX @tyler @cameron @brian_armstrong @nejc_kodric @BrianBrooksUS where u at? We drummed up thousands of calls yesterday with our email. Don't sleep on this one. We're all in it together... unless we're not? twitter.com/jerrybrito/sta…

We are clearly not all playing for the same team. IMO, this is incredibly short sighted, no matter how heavy your stock-bags are. If you work at a company that has not called users to action, ask your leadership why. Then, call me if you want to work at a real crypto company.

Hard to imagine how a freer, fairer, open, accessible, decentralized financial system would be against anyone's or any company's mission. Maybe what they mean is that their company is afraid of punitive regulatory blowback for taking a position on an issue that is bad for them?

Sure, there's always risk of drawing the ire of whoever was in favor of suiciding the country with this bill. That possibility just makes it all the more important that we stand together when presented with these challenges. They will keep coming for us until we show our strength

I did see that. It's a great start. Would love to see the same from more crypto leaders. More importantly, we need to see it from the companies they run and not just fluffy comments on social channels. We need direct call to action, email blast, in-app alerts, etc.
