Blockchain has unfortunately not yet been defined by its numerous important and consequential ‘pros’ but rather spotlighted in the news by the few debilitating high-profile cons (pun intended). This puts us in the challenging position to reverse the perspective of skeptics in Congress to advocate for innovation-friendly policies and regulations that will advance this technology in a positive direction. Today’s guest Dave Grimaldi joins us to paint the picture of the challenges and opportunities in the industry through the lens of our policy-makers. This week, episode 196 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about the intersection of Blockchain, policy, and advocacy in Congress.
