Kara Swisher: We need more cops in San Francisco and we should just take a burning man approach to the city. She says she thinks Gary Gensler is "very late to the party" on crypto, but he's got some reason to be pissed off about it. The pair also debate whether or not they want to go to Burning Man this year.
Hollywood may be shut down, but one industry seems to be enjoying a surprising upswing: crypto. Kara interviewed Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen hours before what is being called a “landmark victory” – but, as Nayeema and Kara note, it’s not a clean victory. We discuss the Ripple case, whether the crypto winter is over, and why Larsen is investing heavily in everything from campaign donations to public interventions on crime in SF – but would rather “vomit blood from his eyeballs” than actually run for office.
