Youthink: The entire myth that the state regulation protects investors is exactly wha. I's a myth. Investors are not protected any more than they are, you know, with regulation,. Like sur buot, when they talk about regulation, what they're trying to do is get their hands on more of a means control who can do white. It's purely authoritarian politics. And i'm sure there are people who believe that they're going to make things more safe, but generally, it's done a whole lot more for anarchismand for getting rid of government big business stuff than, i think, for making people safe.

Welcome back. Lucas was out sick this week, so TC crypto reporter Jacquie Melinek subbed in as co-host to talk with Anita about the biggest stories in web3 this week. They discussed whether Sam Bankman-Fried is the savior crypto needs as more and more companies declare bankruptcy and unpacked the drama behind the fight for a U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF.

In this week’s interview, Anita chatted with Tux Pacific, the founder and CEO of Entropy, a startup that just raised a $25 million seed round led by a16z for its decentralized crypto custody solution. Pacific, one of the rare trans and queer founders to have raised institutional funding, dropped out of college to teach themselves cryptography. They describe themselves as an “anti-capitalist anarchist” and spoke with Anita abut why they think decentralization is the only way crypto can succeed.
