CryptoMondays CHS - Nov 17th - Crypto Meets Congress
CryptoMondays CHS | November 17 | The Whale | 5:30 –8:30 PM
Charleston’s crypto community is about to get political - in a good way.
This month, we’re sitting down with two voices at the intersection of innovation and public service:
Sam McCown - veteran, entrepreneur, and candidate for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District who actually gets crypto. Sam isn’t just talking about blockchain from the sidelines - he owns digital assets himself and believes these technologies hold the key to rebuilding trust in our institutions.
Marvin “Mark” Smith - small-business owner, longtime community leader, and state representative for District 99 in Berkeley County. With experience in business and public policy, Mark brings a practical lens on how digital asset innovation could be incorporated into real-world governance.
We’ll explore:
How blockchain could transform government transparency and accountability.
What it takes to bridge the gap between innovation and policy in Washington.
Why South Carolina is primed to lead in fintech, digital assets, and the decentralized economy.
Sam’s own crypto story - from curiosity to conviction -and what it means for the next generation of builders and voters.
Mark’s vantage: how lawmakers see the potential (and the risks) of crypto-innovation on the ground.
Plus, an open community discussion on what a pro-innovation agenda might look like right here in the Lowcountry.
Come for the conversation. Stay for the connections. And bring your questions - this one’s going to be electric. ⚡
Meet. Connect. Build.
