Peter Thiel once said that people in DC are completely backwards. They don't understand any of the technology. And even to the extent that they can, it can't be stopped. Do you think that's true?

Let's stick for a second on politics and Washington. Your company, Coinbase, invested heavily in this past election cycle.
