AI & Crypto are here to stay—whether we like it or not.

Both have massive potential to help drive progressive change. But if progressives keep turning away from these tools, we risk ceding the future to big tech & extractive capitalism.

Let’s shape the tech and use it for GOOD, not shy from it. 💚

We've always been able to align around shared values, but financial alignment required trusting middlemen. Now blockchain puts that trust into code—no intermediaries needed 🌐🤝

Personally, I'd trust code over big banks any day!
