TODAY in Washington, DC! 📍

I’m joining GROUNDWORK by @1inch, bringing together students, builders, educators, and policymakers to explore the future of decentralized finance.

The next generation is about to inherit an entirely new financial system. They deserve more than conversations about it. They deserve to experience it.

I’ll be breaking down crypto, demonstrating digital wallets, and showing how DeFi works in real life.

Because the future of finance isn’t just something to talk about. It’s something to understand, experience, and help build. 🔥

📍 National Union Building | Washington, DC
📅 TODAY, October 16 | 12–6 PM
⚡ My live Crypto 101 sessions: 1, 3 & 5 PM

🎟️ RSVP: https://luma.com/groundwork_dc

📲 Phones were out, contacts were being saved, and conversations gave us plenty to follow up on at our exclusive #dcstw26 speaker sponsor partner happy hour! 🍸

The community said it best: “People weren’t just swapping business cards; they were genuinely showing up for each other.” Another attendee described DCSTW as “a massive ecosystem that actively supports each other’s growth.”

Thank you to our host sponsor, @versusequity, for the incredible rooftop views and Capitol Hill vibes that set the scene for a fantastic evening!

That’s the energy we’re bringing into a week of learning, pitches, and opportunities to find capital, customers, and resources.

18K resolution. Decentralized GPUs. Shared compute. Limitless creativity . An expanding supply of intelligence.

Last night, the @generative_series : Creative Rights Salon brought together artists, technologists, policy leaders, legal minds, and builders for a invitation only discussion at the Grand Monument Suite @thelinehotel for a conversation on intellectual property in the age of AI.

Who owns AI-generated work?
Can an artist own their style?
What about their voice or likeness?
Where does inspiration end and infringement begin?
How do we protect creators without restricting the next generation of creativity?

The room included leaders working directly at these intersections:

Mark Gray — Senior Counsel at @openai and former Assistant General Counsel at the U.S. Copyright Office

Michelle Lopes Maldonado — Associate Director of AI Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation @ITIF

@sandro_keresa — Founder & Chief Creative Officer of @artechouse

Kevin Bankston — Georgetown Law Adjunct Professor of AI & Copyright and Senior AI Governance Advisor at the Center for Democracy & Technology

We are entering an era of decentralized compute, shared GPU infrastructure, increasingly capable intelligence, and entirely new creative tools.

AI × Art × IP

The compute is scaling.
The intelligence is scaling.
The imagination is limitless.

Now we have to decide how creativity, ownership, and humans rights scale with it.

Thank you @nihalism for the invitation.

✨ SHARE YOUR LIGHT | NOLA BALTIMORE
Today, we're shining a light on @hillbirdtoe . 💡
We caught up with Gilberto at Tech in the Hut #3, MedTech & Healthcare night at NOLA Seafood & Spirits, to ask one simple question:
How do you share your light?
Baltimore's tech community is full of people building something for this city, and nights like this put them in the same room. 🩺⚙️
This is Share Your Light, an @illuminatebaltimore series powered by Majestic Light.
✨ Baltimore shines brighter when we share our light.

Tech in the Hut #3 last night, MedTech & Healthcare edition 🎬

Packed room at NOLA and conversations that kept going long after the mic went down. Venture for T.H.E.M., Baltimore Tech Meetup, and Tech & Culture Lab all came through, and the current Techstars cohort made an appearance too. You could watch Baltimore's tech community get a little more connected with every handshake 🩺⚙️

Big thank you to Julian Coy for helping shape the theme of this one. The MedTech focus brought the right people into the room 🙏🏾

Daniel Kai keeps leading this charge, and the city keeps showing up for it. Two weeks until the next one and we're already ready 🔥

This weekend at Fiesta DC, Web3DC joined the celebration to educate our Latino community about digital assets, in Español.

We talked with families about wallets, online safety, scams, remittances, and the opportunities these tools may create. These conversations matter. Our community deserves clear information and a voice in decisions that shape the future of finance.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and learned with us. The work continues beyond the festival.

Visit standwithcrypto.org to get involved. Make a plan to vote, learn where candidates stand, and take action on the issues that matter to you.

Come learn by doing.

I’ll always be a student, and it’s an honor to be an educator.

🗓️ October 16, 12–6PM

1inch is bringing “Groundwork”, a one day forum where we are going to learn, discuss, and get hands on together on the systems we are going to inherit.

Tokenization, prediction markets, agentic finance, policy and more.

I’ll be leading a DeFi education roundtable alongside Tanner Moore (three hands-on sessions) 1pm, 3pm, 5pm.

We’ll create a wallet, look at what it means to hold a digital asset and make an onchain transaction, then complete a first swap together.

I’d love to see students, university professors, government leaders, and community members in the room. Come with questions. If you’re new to DeFi, this is for you.

The road to DC Startup & Tech Week runs through rooms like this one. At our September Happy Hour, the mix of people and industries felt like a preview of the conference itself. 👀

Our final Happy Hour of the season brought founders, investors, tech leaders, and ecosystem leaders together at The Malin DC, with guests working across AI, health care, finance, environmental work, and creative services.

Thank you to @themalin DC for hosting us, and to Arun Gupta and Thomas J. Fewer for providing copies of The Mission Generation for guests to take home.

See you at DC Startup & Tech Week (Oct. 19–23) 🎟️ LINK IN BIO
