Summary

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are starting to matter more and more—to more and more people. Big, sweeping decisions made in Washington D.C. are starting to impact people holding or investing in crypto. And as such, this growing contingent needs representation in the nation's capital. Not only that, but existing legislation is affected by new forms of money.
This is where Coin Center comes in.
"Coin Center is a non-profit research and advocacy center that is focused on the public policy questions that have emerged thanks to the development of Bitcoin and other decentralized computing platforms like Ethereum, and Dash," explains Coin Center director of research Peter Van Valkenburgh.
For technologists and policymakers alike, Coin Center is a central point of contact, the nerve center of crypto in this country.
Tune in to learn more about Coin Center, and to hear more from Peter Van Valkenburgh. Be sure to subscribe and review, and if you can, consider donating some Bitcoin to the cause
