Topic: Andreas Antonopoulos kicked asses at the Canadian SENATE! - page 4. (Read 6181 times)
A five year regulatory review window should be just about right. That will give time for Bitcoin developers in Canada to self-regulate and build tools that are useful. It's good to see that America's Hat is still a Thinking Cap.
This looks really promising. Andreas got to present his case as completely as anyone could have hoped. The Senators don't "get it" (yet) but it's really a different landscape now than it was 3 years ago when I first got into Bitcoin, that's for sure!
That was a game changer... imo Canada will reap the early rewards of development and opportunity.
It's a must watch!
His message is clear enough:
DO NOT REGULATE SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, QUI?
DO NOT REGULATE SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, QUI?
When he makes a good point (or points) it does not matter who his audience is (as long as they are smart enough to understand what he is saying) they will agree with him.
I have seen the video and believe that he did a very good job of delivery of his message.

He represented the community very well I'm very proud of him and Canada for acknowledging the need for crypto.
beautiful. very very nice.
the applause is really something, they dont do that for everybody and it shows that the senators were really, truly impressed. I'm not surprised, the man presents himself impeccably.
I have high hopes for Canada to be a leader with cryptocurrencies, even if we are maybe a tad slow to the party. The only problem is, our senators do not have that much power. the prime minister can veto anything they put forward. plus they are all appointed, not voted in, so they will naturally be in line with the prime minister's agenda, what ever that might be. There has been a lot of corruption come to light in our house recently and there is talk of reform to how it operates. developing.
its a good start though. good on you andreas!

I can't believe the senators applauded him at the end.
