And they said, you know what, the future of the United States, the future of the state,

flows through novel and emerging technologies.

Let's start the process of getting intelligent and getting smart so that we can preserve

fundamental rights of crypto, so that we can have a regulatory environment where

builders can come and they understand the rules and we know was expected and

people can enjoy both their rights and also the technology in new ways. Welcome to Bankless, where today we explore the frontier of your constitutional right to crypto.

Because crypto isn't just a right enshrined by the Constitution.

It's an extension of the Constitution.

crypto is how we preserve constitutional freedoms in the 21st century, particularly when it comes to the digital world.
