As a UCL-trained data scientist raised between London and Lagos, I’ve watched how crypto policies quietly reshape lives—not through boardrooms, but in midnight spreadsheets. Senator Lummis’s proposal to exempt under-$5000 crypto trades isn’t just fiscal policy; it’s an act of digital reckoning. I see it as permission for those of us who code our freedom into existence. This isn't about taxes—it's about who gets to dream in a system built on trust, not transaction logs.
