Sometimes we mention the fact that China is probably our main competitor in this area.
They're the only other country that has the technological
capability, the talent, the know-how, the expertise to beat us in this area.
We want to make sure the United States wins.
Of course, in the US, it's not really the government that's responsible for innovation, it's the private sector.
That means that our companies have to win.
And if you're imposing all sorts of crazy burdensome regulation on them, then that's going to hurt, not help.
So the president gave a, I think, very important AI policy speech a couple of months ago on July 23rd, where he declared in no uncertain terms that we had to win the AI race.
And he laid out several pillars on how we do that.
It was pro-innovation, pro-infrastructure, which also means pro-energy and pro-export.
And we can drill into all those things if you want, but that was the high line.
and so i think that again with ai the idea is kind of like how do we unleash innovation and i think with crypto it's been more about how we create regulatory certainty but you know in terms of my role like why am i doing both i mean i think the common denominator is just again these are new technologies they're both obviously come from the tech industry which has a very different culture than washington does and i kind of see as my role to help be a bridge between what's happening in silicon valley and what's happening in washington
and helping Washington understand not just the policy that's needed or the innovation that's happening, but also kind of culturally what makes the tech industry different and special and how that needs to be protected from a government doing something excessively heavy-handed.
I mean, I think it's a great point.
I mean, I didn't really know either.
You kind of heard generally.
I mean, we knew that there was debanking going on.
And by the way, it wasn't just crypto companies that were being debanked, but their founders were being debanked personally.
So if you were
the founder of a crypto company, you couldn't open a bank account.
