The Power Players Took the Stage 🎤
When Jan van Eck (VanEck) and Faryar Shirzad (Coinbase) step up to the mic, you listen. The takes? 🔥 The alpha? Priceless. From crypto policy wars to blockchain security and decentralized wireless, the speakers weren’t just talking about the future—they’re building it. And let’s not forget the heavy hitters: John Nahas (Ava Labs) dropping knowledge on Avalanche’s latest plays, Marisa Coppel (Blockchain Association) breaking down why clear regulation isn’t just nice—it’s necessary, Geoff Garrett (USC Marshall’s Dean) making it crystal clear that USC isn’t just watching the Web3 revolution—it’s helping lead it, and Eric Chung (VanEck Digital Assets Initiative at USC Marshall School of Business), the driving force behind USC’s blockchain ecosystem, ensuring students connect with industry giants and stay at the forefront of decentralized innovation.
Enter Gekko Lizzaro & RampMeDaddy 🚀
Amid all the Web3 brilliance, one name stood out—Gekko Lizzaro, the memecoin maestro himself, repping RampMeDaddy in full force.
The mission? Making memecoins and other crypto assets accessible to everyone, straight from Telegram. Whether you’re a degen or just getting started, RampMeDaddy lets you buy and trade the hottest memecoins instantly with Apple Pay. No more complicated wallets. No more gatekeeping.
Why This Event Was a Game-Changer 🔄
Here’s the thing—everyone at VanEck USC agreed: We’re still early, but not for long. DeFi is evolving, with the days of clunky, confusing UX now behind us. Blockchain adoption is skyrocketing, with institutions and regulators taking notice. Crypto is mainstream—if you’re not in, you’re already behind. Gekko Lizzaro was front row, center, soaking it all in. New ideas. New connections. New plays. If there’s one thing we know after today, it’s that Web3 is moving fast—and RampMeDaddy is moving faster.
The Afterparty? Legendary. 🎉
After a full day of panels, discussions, and networking, the night ended at an exclusive penthouse overlooking all of LA, where the afterparty kept the energy high. The views? Unreal. The vibes? Immaculate. The connections? Next level.
If you missed it, don’t worry—this is just the beginning. Gekko Lizzaro will be hosting a fire event in the near future at one of the largest crypto conferences in the world, bringing together the best minds in the industry. Stay tuned and DM us on X to secure your spot at the party—you won’t want to miss this one.
