California is Not For Sale

Developed the idea and strategy behind one of California's most infamous ballot initiatives — "California Is Not For Sale". The proposed ballot initiative received over $1,000,000 in funding and collected over 250,000 signatures but ended up falling short of the 365,000 signatures needed to make it on the ballot. The proposed law would have required legislators to wear the logos of their top 10 donors on their suits when advocating for policies on the Senate or Assembly floor. The initiative was covered in over 1,000 different media outlets including VICE, Fox News, and the Today Show.

After meeting a member of Congress in DC, realized Bitcoin had a major education problem. 
Became one of the first federally registered lobbyists to lobby on behalf of bitcoin and blockchain. Ended up just doing education, creating awareness, and warning of the dangers of regulation that stifles innovation.
