about

Congress
with
Cleve
Mesidor
Executive
Director
of
the
Blockchain

“Yes,
this
is
the
most
crypto-friendly
Congress
ever,
but
the
incoming
class
of
Freshman
lawmakers,
which
is
comprised
of
a
new
generation
of
bipartisan
Members
of
Congress
who
campaigned
on
support
for
Web3,
is
even
more
compelling,”
Mesidor
said.
“U.S.
Representative
Suhas
Subramanyam
is
among
the
policymakers
committed
to
advancing
a
regulatory
framework
to
foster
innovation
across
America,
including
Puerto
Rico.”

“BUIDL
HERE”
is
an
intentional
misnomer
of “Build
Here.”
It
is
our
invitation
to
come
to
the
island
to
BUIDL,
work
and
collaborate,
so
that
together
we
can
use
emerging
tech
to
create “the
future”
said
Keiko
Yoshino,
Executive
Director
of
the
Puerto
Rico
Blockchain
Trade
Association.
“In
addition
to
politics
and
regulation,
we
will
have
a
local
component,
spotlighting
PR
talent
like
Juan
Salgados
and
Alana
Mediavilla,
and
highlighting
Polkadot,
Stellar
Foundation,
and
Puerto
Rico’s
top
engineering
schools
efforts
to
create
a web3
developer
talent
pipeline.”
