Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association and a board member of HODLpac, discusses how advocating for crypto will change under what is likely to be a new presidential administration. In this episode she talks about:

what crypto advocacy typically entails
how the approach will change under a Biden administration compared to what it was under Trump
what appointments by Biden could most affect the crypto industry
which issues are at the top of the agendas for both the Blockchain Association and HODLpac
why regulators are particularly interested in stablecoins
how a potentially Democratic-controlled Senate under a Biden administration might affect crypto
what she's watching for from Cynthia Lummis, a Bitcoiner who won her Wyoming Senate race
how anti-trust sentiment in Congress could affect crypto, and whether legislators see Web3 as an antidote to monopoly problems
the divisions within the crypto industry around how to approach regulators, and how to resolve them
the potential for a de minimus tax exemption, in light of PayPal integrating cryptocurrencies
and how HODLpac used quadratic voting to decide which candidates to support
