Mark Andreessen coming to Republican senate lunch

Wonder what the ~40 senators who still barely know what crypto even is will think of this

That guy is so insufferable.

Why is he talking about crypto and not his other priorities

Because he’s just another crypto huckster who bought the republicans in the last election

But isn’t he also wanting AI

Because he wants to grift everyone out of money

Hopefully someone calls him out on the fact that the “future of finance” is down like 50% so far

I was able to sit in for a few moments. Did they seriously use their limited time with Senators for Chris Dixon to shill his book?

Yup. My boss immediately threw his in the trash when he got back to the office. I dumpster dived for it to see if it was a signed copy. It wasn’t

They wouldn’t even sign it? Fucking lazy and insulting

They tried to give a copy to me too and I’m not even a Senator. Why? This isn’t a book club

You’re trying to push for specific laws like CLARITY

@Topher any thoughts on this hot mess that Tim Scott was pushing?

Another useless law that won’t do anything

Yeah I saw that too. How tf do you hype a housing affordability bill endorsed by the US Conference of mayors? Those guys are the biggest NIMBY-ies in the country. They’re even worse than the fucing NAR. Who does Scott think is actually driving the affordability crisis in housing?

Most bizarre thing I heard from my boss was that Andreessen was trying to highlight how AI/Crypto is going to somehow help with healthcare issues in this country? Makes no sense.
