    As amazing algorithms are for optimizing suggestive content as bad it can be for people who will get radicalized by devicive voices and I think it is unhealthy for society in the long run if not it is recognized that there should be put dampening meassures on this cycle. I think that having a not interested on youtube now is a step in the right direction. I think you guys are very thoughtful and I think bringing the toxicity levels on social is a very noble path to take as a toolset to incooporate in an already excisting ecosystem.

Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under President-Elect Donald Trump who has vowed to oust Gensler. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, to discuss potential personnel appointments. 

This episode of Equity brings you an interview between Rebecca Bellan and co-founder and CSO of blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, Jonathan Levin. The pair caught up at our Strictly VC event in New York shortly before the Gary Gensler news dropped to discuss the imminent change for crypto in the wake of the US election and Chainalysis’s choice to run its operations in the US.
