In a discussion about the benefits of maximization and diversification, Raoul Pal of Real Vision pointed out that the whole concept of cryptocurrency projects competing against each other is not conducive to the advancement of the industry and has no logical meaning.
“It’s like watching the Olympic dashers compete with the javelin throw. There are some lunatics along the way. Bitcoin is well suited for the job. If our goal here is to change human outcomes, then the stupidest thing to do is fight each other. Because what you do is disrupt everyone, analyze everyone, and marginalize the mission everyone is trying to achieve. It doesn’t make sense.”
Talking about the importance of advocacy and activism in this field, FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried replied that he was not willing to compromise between Pal’s futile and diverse projects. The FTX representative explained, “The goal should be to cooperate with each other, not to engage in a disgusting argument about which side is right.” “It’s just the secret of destruction,” adds Bankman-Fried.
Towards the end of the event, Caroline Malcolm, Senior Advisor for Blockchain and Taxes at the OECD, spoke about the impact of regulatory decisions on the fast-growing blockchain industry. Malcolm said policymakers will turn their attention to the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector over the next few years and use the newly created legal framework to address money laundering and tax avoidance issues.
Ben Caselin, head of research and strategy at AAX and co-host of the event, closed the summit with a deep insight into the role of Bitcoin.
“Rather than treating Bitcoin as a good medicine for all ailments in society, it is better to treat it as a tool and common ground that can promote unified action against a set of social ailments. Today’s summit brings together diverse voices from across the industry, from politicians and policymakers to entrepreneurs and macro investors, it’s good to take a step back and reflect on what’s really happening, rather than just guessing prices. It’s best especially when you’re in the middle of a bull market, the real meaning of all this.”
