Scary Gary NFT Series
Get ready to be spooked with Scary Gary’s Banking Bros – a bone-chilling NFT set featuring Gary Gensler, the current Chair of the SEC, as a range of terrifying villains.

Once a respected professor at MIT (who taught classes about blockchain, no less), Scary Gary has turned into a symbol of injustice for retail crypto investors everywhere, eliminating financial freedom with his regulatory crackdowns on cryptos and blockchain tech. But little do people know, he’s just a pawn for private banking overlords, who have transformed him to do their bidding.
On a more serious note, the Scary Gary Banking Bro’s NFTs were created to playfully satirize the crypto sector’s main “villain,” while also raising awareness about the importance of advocating for cryptocurrency in politics. This collection should also serve as a constant reminder: change begins with you!
To date, the SEC has refused to provide clear regulation on how blockchain and cryptos should be regulated, only issuing penalties after the fact. This regulatory uncertainty is driving away legal US businesses and is stifling innovation around blockchain tech. As a cryptocurrency investor in the United States, if you’re dissatisfied with how the SEC impacts your investments through their vague crypto enforcement actions, it’s time to do something about it. While venting on Twitter may provide temporary relief, it won’t bring about the change we need to truly move this space forward.
That’s why it’s vital to call your Congress members to clearly state your expectations as both a crypto investor and as a constituent. It’s time to demand protection for our investments with proactive rules and regulation, rather than reactive, after-the-fact enforcement actions.
If you’re ready to make your voice heard in the halls of Congress, join DCTA today! And as a bonus, all DCTA members will receive a free Scary Gary NFT as a thank you for supporting our cause.
