Vast Bank, USBC, Hard Yaka. Prior Promontory Financial and Federal Reserve. Proponent of Fair/Open Access for all. Former candidate for CD-02 in Nevada

Joined April 2006
As the first candidate President Trump endorsed in CD-2 last November (see below), I can tell you he got it right the first time. But since I won’t be on the ballot, he made a mistake today. Northern Nevada Republicans deserve a strong Nevada voice in this district, just as they’ve had with Barbara Vucanovich, Jim Gibbons, Dean Heller, and myself for the last 43 years. The home team has done just fine. The time has not come for a national private political organization to pick for Nevadans, who speaks for them in the U.S. House of Representatives. I proudly voted for pure Nevada, Nevada proud, James Settelmeyer.  With all due respect Mr. President, Nevada already has five representatives who live in Clark County. Your endorsement if followed, would make it six out of six. CD-2 has been especially good to you throughout your three runs. This endorsement is an incredibly curious way to say thank you to those people who have been the bedrock of your political endeavors here in original Nevada. JAMES SETTELMEYER WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.

WalletConnect isn’t just a convenience layer — it’s a signal. Instead of forcing merchants to integrate dozens of wallets, it abstracts complexity behind a single connection. Scan, choose your wallet, pay. That’s the moment when traditional payment rails and digital wallet rails stop competing — and start coexisting. Infrastructure like this is how ecosystems actually scale. Check out Greg Kidd’s full post right here: linkedin.com/posts/gregkidd_…

Jerome Powell today: "banks are perfectly able to serve crypto customers as long as they understand and can manage the risks [...] we're not against innovation, and we certainly don't want to take actions that would cause banks to terminate customers who are perfectly legal just because of excess risk aversion maybe related to regulation and supervision" immense tonal shift. OCP2.0 over.

As the late, great Senator Harry Reid knew so well: You don’t win Nevada with big ad buys or flashy endorsements, you win it on the ground. Proud to canvass with @nvdems and the @WashoeDEMS in Reno today for @KamalaHarris, @RosenforNevada and @gregkidd! 11 days, folks!

We're headlining the Independent National Convention this week. What better time to announce our endorsement of another independent candidate? @gregkidd has our backing for U.S. House of Representatives from Nevada's 2nd district! He is a non-partisan problem solver who feels unrepresented by the two major parties and wants to do something about it. With fantastic ideas about how he can address a host of challenges in his community and state, he's a consummate Forward candidate. You know what to do: #GoVote! #Election2024
