Imagine common sense crypto policy and regulation, aligned with American dynamism.

Loans backed by Renewable Energy Certificates which fund new solar farms. Private payment rails between patients and doctors that ensure our rights to access any medical care. New economic models for funding the commons and mutual aid. These are all being built with blockchain technology in America today, and align with our long term values. Washington shouldn't stifle innovation or push jobs overseas.

Experience

After his family nearly lost their home in the Great Recession of 2008, Joe has supported creating a more open, fair, and transparent financial systems. Joe Schiarizzi is more than just a cryptobagholder, he is a builder. As an engineer, he has contributed to several Decentralized Finance protocols, and open source infrastructure that funds public goods.

More than 1% of the stored state of Ethereum was created by calling smart contracts Joe personally wrote. Using Tokenization technology he created the world's first loan collateralized entirely by American Renewable Energy Certificates. Joe believes financial vehicles like borrowing against stocks to avoid paying taxes or investing in startups shouldn't only be reserved for the super wealthy. 

Policies

CLARITY and GENIUS are strong starts but leave gaps.

Joe supports these common sense policy choices related to crypto in the US, and plans to push for them if elected to Congress.

  1. Staking/mining income shouldn't be taxed until sold. The same way stocks are not taxed on unrealized gains.

  2. Simpler tax reporting for small crypto holders—everyday Americans shouldn't be penalized holding digital assets.

  3. Small businesses should be allowed to experiment with tokens without SEC consequences. A froyo shop's loyalty token isn't a securities offering.

  4. Expand eligible stablecoin collateral to include assets like municipal bonds that fuel American dynamism by funding hospitals, schools, roads, clean water, clean air, healthcare, and more.

The Constitution charges our government with promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of Liberty. Blockchain advances both missions by empowering Americans to coordinate more efficiently and openly. Stablecoins are now one of the largest buyers of US debt. Our long term monetary policy needs to reflect that reality. 

Washington must protect innovation, not regulate it overseas. Our goal should be to ensure every American can fairly and safely access the financial tools they need to succeed.
