I enjoyed the interview with Cody Wilson. The comments and discussion about bitcoin foundation and their use of lobbyists and entrenched industry representatives seeking and courting special favor in Washington D.C., like Digital Chamber of Congress and others and the dangers that represents is very refreshing. I've been active speaking about my disgust with Perianne Boring's Digital Chamber of Commerce and her creation of her identity as the representative of bitcoin in Washington D.C.. Further, Patrick Byrne's funding of Boring's Washington D.C. efforts, (unregistered lobbying), is of great concern to me as it effects bitcoin. And then we see Britto and coincenter now lauding his organization as picking up where bitcoin foundation leaves off in Washington D.C.. And then we see coinbase hiring John Collins, a Department of Homeland Security operative having been the campaign manager for the most powerful Senator who is the point man for DHS in the Senate, (Carper), and then the hiring of Arthur Levitt, a man deeply in bed all his life with the most powerful bankers in the world, literally the servant of the bankers and the global monopolists. We really can see efforts by venture capitalists and wealthy industry players, pmarca, etc ..., we can see them carrying on with some of the same nasty political insider games in Washington D.C. that bitcoiners in general have always hated and detested, and when I try to talk about these things on reddit and other forums I get slammed and downvoted, etc ..., by the gangs of trolls that see what these unregistered lobbying groups are doing in D.C. as beneficial, potentially beneficial, for their holdings of coin and their development interests in the bitcoin space. Many of these people we see involved in activating themselves in unregistered lobbyist activities in DC are being funded by wealthy venture capitalists who regularly donate very large sums of money to political candidates, mostly those we recognize as "status quo" candidates. But these same wealthy interests involved in the bitcoin space that donate to political candidates refused to support, mostly to any degree at all, the candidates that ran in this midterm elections cycle, those that supported bitcoin, championed bitcoin and integrated bitcoin technology into their campaign websites, into the online web presence. If the many millions of dollars flowing into unregistered, and registered lobbyist activities in Washington D.C. provided by the wealthiest interests involved in the bitcoin space had gone to supporting the candidates running for office that supported bitcoin ... well ... that's not in their best interests and candidates seated in office who supported bitcoin might interfere with their special favor gathering activities using lobbyist activities at many levels. Of special note is the new Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. Abbott took bitcoin donations, he even made a high quality YouTube video supporting bitcoin and explaining why he was taking donations in bitcoin, but Abbott was essentially ignored by the bitcoin community, the bitcoin VC community, while Hemingway was the "Millennial Bitcoin Poster Boy". Marilinda Garcia got a $2,000 donation from Patrick Byrne, but no ReTweets, no social networking support, no endorsements from the bitcoin community, etc ... And then we saw Terpin and Boring throw a lot of support behind Andrew Hemingway, making him the poster boy of the bitcoin political movement as a means to provide Terpin and Boring with some political credibility to then begin to launch themselves and their interests in the bitcoin political space. Poor Andrew, he really got pimped along with the few in bitcoin who are politically engaged, while Andrew never had a chance to win his primary much less advance to the general election and champion bitcoin in the political arena at that level. What I have seen by the most influential voices, and venture capitalists in the bitcoin space is the use of political tactics that damage the ability of the bitcoin community to engage politically. And perhaps its just a bunch of wealthy, greedy pigs that are leading the charge that do not want political representation in office that understands and champions bitcoin, for those elements in the political arena would then be damaging to their lobbyist efforts. Again, love to rant about these things, and I appreciate the interview with Cody and your comments that are similar to my thinking on these matters. Good to hear a voice that understands these types of issues. You might find this list of candidates that ran in the recent US midterm elections, those candidates that supported bitcoin and took donations in bitcoin, wrote about bitcoin, attended bitcoin conferences, etc ... http://bitpolitic.com/list-of-all-bitcoin-candidates That list was assembled and researched by the bitcoin company I founded, BitPolitic.com
