@defidecodedpod Ahem * HEAR HEAR

[Alex Tapscott @alextapscott]

Banking interests are trying to throw mud on the windshield and cloud the debate over CLARITY.

Lost in the D.C. wrangling is the American consumer—and what THEY actually want.

That’s the focus of my latest for @CoinDesk

Isn’t it past time we thought about the little guy? 👇

[CoinDesk Data & Indices @CoinDeskMarkets]

In this week’s Crypto Long & Short newsletter:

- @alextapscott on the stalling of the CLARITY Act and how it’s impacting American consumers

- Aisha Hunt writes that crypto will grow by upgrading Wall Street’s trusted products rather than replacing them

@jeffjohnroberts Probably the most web3-pilled VC in the industry. So notable to see even them do the soft pivot to AI.

[Alex Tapscott @alextapscott]

@ericrichy @shakepay @aiouy @roybrey Congrats Eric. You make every organization you join stronger in every way. Wherever you're heading next, I'm sure you'll do the same thing!

[Alex Tapscott @alextapscott]

Yikes. Jamie Dimon calls Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong “full of shit.”

I listened twice and don’t recall hearing the word “customer” once.

Maybe that’s because banks pay 0.3% on savings accounts—and want to keep it that way.

[Alex Tapscott @alextapscott]

Had such a blast moderating this panel.

Loved hearing from @chtmorris, @buchmanster and @mikecontango

Toronto really is stacked with amazing crypto and AI talent.

Thank to @Web3To for putting this on.

@CMCC_Global was proud to partner up on this event 🚀

[Web3 Toronto (Web3TO) @Web3To]

Charting the Internet's Next Economic Frontier

@alextapscott , Charlie Morris @chtmorris , Ethan Buchman @buchmanster, and Mike Grantis @mikecontango explored how AI and digital assets are converging to reshape money, commerce, coordination, and the internet itself.

One of the most forward-looking discussions of the day.

@Figure @mcagney Bingo.

[The DeFi Decoded Podcast @defidecodedpod]

The power of globally connected onchain capital markets: someone allocating stablecoins to Hastra in Indonesia is helping lower the mortgage rate of somebody in Virginia.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: "We will fight the CLARITY Act. If we lose, we lose, and we'll live. But it will be fought."

"Nobody is going to bow down to Brian Armstrong or Coinbase... He is full of sh*t"
