🛑U.S. Treasury sanctions tornado cash
you’ve probably already seen hundreds of takes on the tornado cash debacle. we’re not here to reinvent the wheel or try to have a different take.
times are scary but this is the perfect time to recalibrate your work. realign your values and remember why we’re here. we’re building a new, decentralized future — destroying old power structures and building, new more equitable systems. there is going to be push back, but we must remain energized and steadfast in our vision to build a better future.
