Crypto Advocacy Panel

<p>This is the Crypto Advocacy & Education Summit, which we're hosting to go along with the Ethereum Foundation's $500,000 donation to the Gitcoin Round 12 matching round for the ‘Crypto Advocacy’ track.</p> <p>Gitcoin does these ‘quadratic matching’ rounds 4 times a year, where many entities donate large sums of funds, and the community rallies and donates to many causes and projects across the crypto space. The ‘matching rounds’ are exponentially matched towards the grants that received the most numbers of individual humans who donated to them.</p> <p>The EF has specifically allocated 500k to go towards effects that advocate for crypto in our government offices.</p> <p>Bankless and Gitcoin are hosting a 2-panel ’summit’ livestream in order to drum up excitement and donations for the various organizations that help advocate for crypto!</p> <p>✨ GITCOIN GRANTS ✨<br /> <a href= "https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer/">https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer/</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>Panel #1: Why does crypto advocacy and education matter?</p> <p>Kristin Smith | Blockchain Association<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/KMSmithDC?s=20">https://twitter.com/KMSmithDC?s=20</a> </p> <p>Brian Quintenz | Former CFTC Chair<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BrianQuintenz?s=20">https://twitter.com/BrianQuintenz?s=20</a> </p> <p>Tomicah Tillemann | a16z<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TomicahTD?s=20">https://twitter.com/TomicahTD?s=20</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>Panel #2: How do crypto stakeholders support crypto advocacy + education?</p> <p>Sarah Roth-Gaudette | Fight for the Future<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/gaudette75?s=20">https://twitter.com/gaudette75?s=20</a> </p> <p>Jerry Brito | Coin Center<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jerrybrito?s=20">https://twitter.com/jerrybrito?s=20</a> </p> <p>Jake Chervinsky | Blockchain Association<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jchervinsky?s=20">https://twitter.com/jchervinsky?s=20</a> </p> <p> ------<br /> 📣 METMASK | YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S BEST FRIEND<br /> <a href= "https://b
