3) At the end of the day I think I basically agree with

and the industry on what's important and the right policy: a) economic freedom b) getting rid of discriminatory, classist standards for investment c) freedom for DeFi (putting aside effective strategy)

4) I don't always agree on the best strategy! But I might be wrong. And more important, it's not my decision to make--it's the community's. So: *I won't push against the community's strategy* even where I think it might not be the most effective way to accomplish the goal.

5) So I encourage everyone-- including

--to make their voices heard and fight for what's right: Fight for freedom, and to make the economy work, and for the exponentially interoperable power of DeFi.

6) I hope, for all our sakes, that the crypto twitter community has carefully considered all of the details of possible bills and policy proposals, and that the crypto twitter community correctly understands the details of policymaking and negotiation and alliances in DC.

7) There are a huge number of possibly paths here--some fairly subtle--and I worry that some people haven't fully thought out, empirically, what the result would be of possible decisions we could make. But hopefully I'm wrong about that. Crypto Twitter, take the wheel.

8) One last thing: I *am* seriously concerned that some relatively strident/adversarial strategies would end up backfiring and undermining DeFi. I'm fine with CT leading the way--so for all our sakes I hope I'm wrong! But I won't *actively* support things I think backfire.

Does this mean you are now opposing your push for the Digital assets standards that was previously published? Aka no longer supporting Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act of 2022

SBF is just another grifter that forked an exchange. Nothing new created. SBF is less innovative than the 8th fork of uniswap.

The fact that you steer institutions and market trends of great significance despite having so superficial a grasp over your own disconnect with empirical reality is, simply, embarrassing.

I’m happy to take the wheel and go shake hands in DC but I need a few hundred million to throw around for some clout.
