Why CPD

Financial privacy needs a stronger voice in Washington.

Policymakers often encounter crypto through enforcement, illicit finance, speculation, or generalized industry lobbying. They hear far less about why financial privacy is a public good and why privacy-preserving cryptography matters.

A curated dinner brings policy leaders, technologists, journalists, advocates, and community members into a different kind of exchange—one where financial privacy is normal, privacy-preserving technology is essential, and cypherpunk values remain relevant to public policy.

Organized by Project Glitch with administrative support from PGP* for Zcash (PGPZ).
