    Why drone has flipped arms? What is the purpose of it? I’m curious coz we’ve made similar robots in our company.

      I’d guess they are canted to allow the drone to rotate or spin while hovering and still maintaining the simplicity of a fixed rotor design

      +Brian Throm I asked about it because I think it’s unnecessary and I wanted to know why it was done that specific way 😉 A simpler design also meets these requirements regardless of the assumed angles and mathematical equations.

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.
