That’s a hefty submission. Reviewed. Thanks for sharing the proof of work.

What’s the reception been / what is your perception that the ECB or other Eulag regulators will listen to this feedback?

So far we met with several #EU legislators only online, we also met with academia and students in EU/US after submitting our position to the #ESMA to educate them too and exclude multiplication of the false narratives in their studies.

We are fundraising to be able conduct these stages of work with #ECB and national parliamentarians in the EU.

It demands professional preparation of the meetings, reviewing updates, writing the new submissions and a lot of interviews/preparations with bitcoin miners and social beneficiaries of #bitcoin / bitcoin mining.

We got submitted requests to the different institutions like OSCE PA in #Vienna and got approved to testify in defense of #PoW & use bitcoin ans human rights tool, but now we can not come because of lack of funding. 😔🙈

What’s the deadline? Have you considered starting a geyser fund? Opensats?

We started campaign last year since September via BTCPay Server: LN donate@bps.odfoundation.eu .

Geyser we also opened: https://geyser.fund/project/defendpow or LN defendpow@geyser.fund

Deadline/meetings starts tomorrow: https://www.oscepa.org/en/meetings/winter-meetings/upcoming-winter-meeting

Other events in March in Italian parliament, in April (US and Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe)… and more, but you know the prices for tickets/hotel, organization costs, not saying about work our team of experts to prepare this meetings.
