Two months ago I started at @coinbase and my professional life will never be the same. The sheer ambition of this team and company is mind-blowing - I'm humbled daily.

1/ 🚨 Here's the deal with the US infrastructure bill: A new provision has been added that expands the Tax Code's definition of "broker" to capture nearly everyone in crypto, including non-custodial actors like miners, forcing them all to KYC users. This is not a drill 👇 - if you’re building an app in the Superchain, or on L2s generally, what can @Optimism do to help? what’s the most impactful thing we can do to help you win? DMs are open! 🙏

So if one of them goes through after a 3-month, iterated and multi-stage process, the upgraded Tezos blockchain will credit NL's address with 100 freshly minted tokens so the team can buy some beers.
