The National Military Monument is on the National Mall right now, directly in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Two enormous flag structures, LED stripes running the names of 41 million Americans who have served over our 250-year history. The first time all of those names have been compiled into one place. A full rotation takes 10 days.

Thousands of people have come through in the past three weeks. Anyone can step up to a summons screen and have a name pulled up–a grandfather, an uncle, a friend, themselves. People are driving in from all over and waiting in line for it. It’s been a privilege to work on this one.

One note if you’re planning a visit: the mMonument is closed to the public Friday, August 28 for the March on Washington. Come back Saturday or any day after . It’s now running through November 12, just past Veterans Day.

Free entry, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Come at night if you can.

America didn’t become the world’s economic and technological leader by waiting for innovation to happen somewhere else.

We led because we built. We invested. We took risks. And we created clear rules that allowed entrepreneurs to innovate with confidence.

Today, we’re at another defining moment.

Digital assets, AI, and blockchain are reshaping finance, commerce, and national competitiveness. These technologies are transforming the global economy. The question is where that innovation will happen.

Without regulatory clarity, entrepreneurs, developers, capital, and talent will simply build elsewhere.

If we want the United States to remain:
🇺🇸 The global leader in free markets,
🇺🇸 The world’s financial capital,
🇺🇸 And the home of the next generation of transformative technology, then we must continue moving clarity forward.

Clarity businesses need to invest, hire, and build here at home while protecting consumers and strengthening our economic and national security.

The future of innovation should be built in America.

Let’s make sure the future of AI, blockchain, and digital assets carries a “Made in the USA” label.

Today I’m calling on my community and colleagues.
Contact your Senators through links below, let them know Clarity is important to You. Stand with Innovation.

Building isn’t just happening in San Francisco, NYC, or Miami…

Welcome to Washington D.C. 🏛️

A different kind of builder lives here ⚡
Where people don’t just ship, they understand policy, compliance, and real-world impact.

We proved it at the Build-a-thon:
• Agentic
• Commercial
• Government##
📍@brownrudnickllp , D.C.

This is where tech meets decision-making.

We once traded shells, tobacco, leather, silver, and gold.
Those systems worked, for their time.

Money moves at the speed of light, and that energy should be used to empower the people.

Today challenge is that banks 🏦 want to suppress competition. They don’t customers to receive rewards, and that essentially disables competition.

Crypto is the modernization of money, built for today and the future, and serving the people interests.

As leaders , we will continue to push innovation forward even if it means making legacy institutions uncomfortable.

It’s time to Upgrade the System.

I’ve journeyed through grit and grind, pushing through challenges that felt impossible at times. Every step, every stumble, and every moment of doubt shaped who I am today. Yes, there were setbacks—moments that felt like failure. But I learned that failure isn’t a finish line; it’s a checkpoint. Goals fueled by dreams and promises keep me moving forward, and they’re only growing stronger.

The work isn’t over yet. Reinvention is part of the process, and I’m prepared to pivot, shift, and adapt as needed. I’m that relentless founder, the one people caution you about. Driven by a vision, I’m embracing the journey because I know the best chapters are still being written. Here’s to resilience, reinvention, and making every setback a stepping stone. #Entrepreneur #journey #bizdev #web3 #ai #crypto #dcstw @dcstartupweek @web3dc

🚨 Instead of LOSING weight… why not shift your focus to everything we can GAIN by changing how we look at what “healthy” looks like?

Gaining…
- Strength
- Power
- Resilience
- Longevity
- Quality of life
- Confidence
- Self love & respect
- Healthy body & mind

📈 I’ve been both overweight and skinny. It wasn’t until I started to change my mindset and what HEALTHY truly meant to me, got real with what I wanted my life to feel and look like to finally see what I was actually gaining.

🚀 If you are feeling plateaued with your progress and aren’t sure how to keep progressing forward, DM me “ready” and I’d love to learn more about you!

The Fastest Way to Your Fitness Goals? Slow Down. 🏋️🍎

It might sound counterintuitive, but the fastest way to reach your fitness and nutrition goals is to take it slow.

Instead of trying to change everything all at once, focus on habit stacking—mastering one habit at a time before building on it.

✅ Start with something simple, like adding more protein to each meal..
✅ Once that’s locked in, add a consistent workout routine or meal prep strategy.
✅ Layer habits slowly, and watch your progress build like a snowball going downhill.

By going slow, you avoid burnout and create habits that stick. Sustainable progress beats quick fixes every time.

Go slow to go fast. That’s how you win in the long run.

Music Director Eduardo Mendonça created the iBB Jam Session, where Bridge Builders create a music concept and share the idea with peers. The improvisation over the form supports both creativity and leadership. In this session, Mateo Leguizamón improvises on Devin Bianchi-Rivera’s music concept.
