Dave: It's difficult because for companies in the new spaces to get off the ground, they<br />
need room to run. I opened and helped run the DC office for Pandora streaming, and<br />
Pandora wanted the same kind of room to run while they developed their music<br />
algorithm that helped them pick the next song by getting to know your musical tastes.<br />
The one thing that they wanted was just room to do that with intellectual property laws<br />
and digital transmission laws. So any company or industry is basically saying to DC,<br />
give us a little more room here. We'll stay inside the lines of existing laws, but let us get<br />
off the ground. It's the same for Google and the same for Microsoft. Explaining that<br />
innovation, though, is tricky.<br />
When members of Congress are presented with a meeting on blockchain and crypto<br />
issues, they'll say to their staff, is this a meeting on financial things or technology? Is it<br />
somewhere in the middle? That's where we are. We are right in the middle, and it's<br />
difficult for them to grasp right away, especially when you get into web3 issues and<br />
when your money is on a blockchain, you own it, but there is no centralized entity that<br />
controls it. It's a decentralized kind of ownership economy ecosystem. It's a difficult<br />
explanation for some of them to get. But we go slowly. And when you have a 30-minute<br />
meeting at the Securities and Exchange Commission or in the House of the Senate, you<br />
have to find that road to figure out what resonates.<br />
