If more voters think about how policies affect themselves, and vote accordingly, politics will be better.

Okay, at least this explains why Marc never talks about war in Ukraine. Too much downside and little upside. Nothing personal, just business.

It's refreshing to see someone who grew up in Berkeley but can have an honest opinion on Trump. Berkeley is bluer than blue and woker than woke.

when I grow up I want to be like Marc and Ben who have so much power to pick the VP of the most powerful country on earth.

Note to self...when being interviewed on camera, wear really long socks LOL

The old man is saying sorry to his mom😂😂😂

Thankful for the level of detail. This is not just "our opinion". There are very clear ear marks, especially within crypto regulation and then the fintech example. It is quite telling about the officials who have also elected not to meet...

Grown man in his 50s repetitively - “Sorry Mom for having my own political thinkings.”

USA! USA! USA!

Thank you for speaking out publicly and being so thoughtful. God bless America.

The ROI from AI is so Huge that capital will move to other countries which will innovate if US doesn't.

Very interesting, thanks for being bold enough to share your thoughts at this very challenging time in history.

Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!

Just finished the podcast. That was super insightful. I really appreciate you guys doing this. I'm currently attempting a startup and was unaware of these policy proposals.

I respect you guys and reserved my opinion until I heard from you all. Put simply, I don't think the current administration would question the transformational nature of bitcoin, blockchain, or AI. There is a lot at stake with these technologies and the argument that the Biden administration is not moving is short-sighted. The topics an administration is willing to tackle in their first term is different than the second. You guys are also endorsing a candidate that has to win for his own sake and can pander to his hearts content. The endorsement of Trump seems like taking your ball and going home when the game is only half over. The risk of a second Trump presidency, which could result in the playing field vanishing, outweighs the costs and risks you guys reference. The points presented in the podcast don't feel like its impossible to legitimize new tech, they read more like, it should be easier and less expensive and I'm upset about it.

I love to hear about this conversation getting out there, it’s something I think about a lot
