I'll just quote this from one of the admins of the Sia Foundation (decentralized cloud storage):
I'm not one to ping the entire server over something trivial. As such, this is not trivial; a congressional bill has been proposed which substantially inhibits the ability of developers to build cryptocurrency applications from the US. This is a problem for more than just the Sia Foundation, it's a problem for the entire industry. If you live in the US, today is a good day to get on the phone and call your representative. Check out the tweet linked for instructions on what to do.

For more background on what's happening, check out this EFF article:
If you consider yourself a US citizen of crypto, then consider this a civic duty. Protect our legal rights! Make sure the US doesn't kill its crypto industry.
Everybody should take this post very seriously. We're still in the baby shoes of this industry, and the sooner you start familiarizing yourself with it the better.
A few based crypto businesses could be make-or-break in the situation that we find ourselves in.
Don't let another Google, FB, Twatter become the gatekeepers of this fledgling industry.
RIP and thanks to all the (supply reducing) donations by those that lost access to their coins.
