C3 is successful partly because they cultivate and require collaboration amongst the departments. Its my responsibility to work together with others to get these festivals up and running.

This is a good story, I'd only add that the US Treasury Department flagged the risks of bitcoin ATMs in 2022.

These aren't really "ATMs" in the traditional sense. They're retail investment kiosks that tend to be located in/targeted at low-income neighborhoods.

In the past, vulnerable communities, especially low-income communities and communities of color, have been specifically targeted by financial services companies using deceptive sales tactics and
marketing. There are several examples where crypto-asset companies are conducting similar marketing practices to particular populations, including those most vulnerable to disparate impact.

Targeted advertising and brand partnerships with prominent athletes and celebrities have been used to attract new customers to crypto-assets, with a particular focus on underserved and racial minority communities. Recent surveys suggest that market participants believe that crypto-asset advertisements have been effective at raising awareness of, and encouraging more people to trade in, crypto-assets. Another example is the prevalence of crypto-asset ATMs (predominantly Bitcoin ATMs, or BTMs) in lower-income neighborhoods that lack bank branches.

Crypto-asset products may be marketed in ways that obscure their level of risk, which could exacerbate the impact of targeted marketing on vulnerable communities. As discussed in Parts II and IV, some crypto-assets and related products market themselves as safe and deposit-like, when they are actually volatile and lack protections including deposit insurance. As a result, consumers, especially those heavily targeted by crypto-asset marketing, might be at risk of viewing crypto-assets as stable consumer financial products, rather than as speculative financial assets, and therefore investing money they are not expecting, and may not be able to afford, to lose. In the case of BTMs, concerns have also been raised regarding high fees and lack of adequate regulation.
