Minority crypto voices are making their voices too loud to ignore

While crypto surges, the government is taking steps to limit its power and regulate the world’s most lucrative asset. Now, several minority groups are looking to change this, and plan to lead the charge against this overregulation with a march on the US capitol on April 4th, 2022.

“We need to be seen by Washington and the crypto industry if we are to take our seats at the table as PRODUCERS – not consumers. That means, creating community-based programs and advocating financial inclusion initiatives to make sure our people do not miss out on the economic opportunities that this rapidly accelerating industry promises.”  — Cleve Mesidor, Blockchain Association

This movement to spread Bitcoin’s adoption to places it is most needed has been joined by the National Policy Network of Women of Color in Blockchain, Black Bitcoin Billionaires, Blockchain Latinx, Crypto for Black Economic Empowerment, Black People and Cryptocurrency, and Black Blockchain Summit.

The group aims to get the attention of the U.S. Senate and House while they sit in session and urge them toward favorable cryptocurrency adoption rather than just taxing crypto and ignoring its benefits to society.

Organizers are inviting everyone to join the minority crypto community’s platform and share their success stories and contributions to the industry – and to help build a more inclusive blockchain future. 

With President Biden’s pending executive order on cryptocurrency, a Supreme Court nomination vote later in the week, and both the house and senate in session, there is no better time to make our voices heard – especially with midterm elections coming up later this year.

Crypto’s power to create wealth for minorities is unprecedented. For the first time in history, we are all truly equal, with the same opportunities and potential. While there are those who resist that change, there are more who stand together in unison.

The march on the Capitol is set for April 4th, 2022. For anyone wishing to attend the Washington DC rally, here are the contacts for organizers:
