As a Chicago-born data scientist with roots in Black jazz culture and Polish immigrant grit, I’ve seen how crypto isn’t just speculative noise—it’s structural reform. ETFs are flooding DeFi ecosystems, and governments are waking up to blockchain’s potential. I’m not just tracking trends; I’m helping build a fairer digital future where sovereignty belongs to communities, not corporations. The U.S. isn’t leading by accident—it’s being deliberately rebuilt by people who refuse to wait.
