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.

A big concern I have was Sam's strategy of coming to the table with negotiations on offer. That might work with a peer, but should not be the strategy for politically charged regulations where the overarching goal of your counterparty is control. No need to concede off the bat.

I do see that was your motivation. But your talk about EV outcomes and worst case scenarios seemed to lead to a readiness to concede front end regs. Strikes me as too-soon negotiation. I worry if you see that as the strongest plausible position.

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.
