The Based Lawyer: “This is the worst case scenario that could happen to Coinbase”

About this episode

In this conversation, Joe Carlasare and Pascal Hügli dive into how Bitcoin intersects with U.S. elections, focusing on the crucial role of fiscal stimulus and regulatory landscapes in shaping Bitcoin’s price and adoption. Joe shares his personal journey from Bitcoin skeptic to advocate, offering insights into how different political administrations could impact the future of digital assets. They also explore which U.S. presidential candidate might be more bullish for crypto, while shedding light on Congress’s ongoing dysfunction in passing effective crypto legislation. The discussion tackles Coinbase’s battles with the SEC, the tangled web of securities laws, and how current investor protection efforts by the SEC are failing the very investors they aim to protect.
