You haven't solved anything, because you have the same number of houses, no matter how you move the numbers around.
Some more people, fewer houses, somebody's screwed.
You haven't solved affordability unless you build stuff.
But that requires kind of that's ultimately up to the people.
I think there's enough smart people that kind of push back and stuff that I think ultimately things work out.
I think
Neither side, like even the worst administration like Gensler and Warren and all this stuff during the last four years had no meaningful impact on crypto adoption slowing down.
Like I think Stablecoin growth went like 5x or something like that during those four years.
And this is because a lot of the adoption is happening outside of the U.S.
and because they don't have these trusted financial systems that can guarantee that when I send you money, you actually receive it, especially across border like Argentina to China.
Who are you going to trust?
Right.
If you go through the traditional finance channels that are trusted, you're paying a lot and it takes 14 days, like 10 plus days to settle like that.

business people that need to get products and services shipped immediately to sell them will use the rails that work and crypto actually works and it and it removes all all those intermediaries and removes a whole bunch of failure cases so you're not going to be able to stop that from United States no matter what the next administration tries to do so from my perspective I think kind of
It doesn't really matter, I think, who's in charge.
It matters for founders.
Founders will just move offshore where they don't have to deal with the hassle of paying the lawyers and figuring out all of the stuff.
They'll just move to Singapore or some other place like they did during those four years.
But I think in terms of products and real adoption, not much will change.
