According to a Chainalysis report in October of 2021, the Global Crypto adoption worldwide increased by over 880% last year. These numbers are not driven by a few crypto whales, but more likely reflect the actions of over a billion people. This represents the beginnings of major shifts in economic, financial, and governance systems.
Blockchain technology, with its’ decentralized abilities, will cross borders, impacting national authority or even personal responsibility. Now, more than ever, government leaders need to collaborate to understand and address challenges to existing systems. Regulations must work locally and globally for people interconnected through new communities, technologies, and paradigms.

You can make it as big or as small as you want.” F Scott Fitzgerald
