Welcome to @barmstrong, co-founder and CEO of Coinbase! 

He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

Hey Brian! How optimistic/pessimistic are you on the US getting regulations right on us being able to unlock all of the use cases on crypto? 

If you were a starting a company today, how would navigate your business/product through this?

They're painting outside the bounds of the law, and the courts are holding them accountable. They can do a lot of damage in the mean time, but crypto will outlast any administration or politician.

I'm optimistic the U.S. will get it right - the U.S. always ends up in the right spot, but only after exhausting every other option. I think we may need to change out the current administration though. Gensler and Warren are actively trying to kill crypto, but they won't succeed.
