Digital Social Hour

Yeah, I think so.

He spoke last year.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

So good to have him.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

Yeah, yeah, we're almost there.

Digital Social Hour

They've made a little bit of progress, but I think the big holdup right now is the Clarity Act.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

So the Clarity Act basically is just giving regulators more direction on what you can actually do with this.

So banks will be able to have Bitcoin rails integrated within their infrastructure.

Digital Social Hour

There's a lot in there about stablecoins.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

It's mostly a stablecoin act, but...

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

But it'll also provide, I think, it'll unlock a lot of liquidity that right now doesn't have access to buy Bitcoin.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

So I think it'll be good.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

Oh, man.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

I'm not.

I mean, CBDC to me is pretty terrifying.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

It's one of those things that's starting to feel like it may be, I don't want to say inevitable, but it seems like if you're the government and you're losing control because of this asset that is fully decentralized,

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

going down the CBDC route seems to be like the answer.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

So I think there's motivation to create a CBDC.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

But yeah, I mean, as just a person, it's kind of terrifying.
