A pro-tech proponent
In a room filled with eager digital asset investors, Andrew Yang, the self-proclaimed “Bitcoin enthusiast,” made quite the entrance at the North American Blockchain Summit. Dressed in a suit, he looked more like a superhero than a politician as he stepped onto the stage.
“I stand before you today as a pro-tech proponent!” Yang exclaimed, flexing his metaphorical crypto muscles. The crowd erupted in laughter, knowing that they were in for an entertaining and insightful session.

During the summit, Yang expressed his concerns about the current state of blockchain technology in the United States, taking aim at the media coverage and its potential impact on businesses.
“The way to avoid a blockchain disaster is to have positive use cases that actually solve problems for the American people,” Yang declared. “Unfortunately, all they see in the news is just Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX.”
The audience laughed at Yang’s joke about two major players in the crypto world stealing the limelight. It was as if he had compared them to modern-day celebrities overshadowing the true potential of blockchain.
The regulatory crackdown continues
Yang didn’t shy away from criticizing the regulatory environment surrounding digital assets in the United States. He compared it to a waiting game, saying, “It’s like they’re playing a reality TV show: ‘Let’s wait until the fiasco happens, and then we’ll have hearings on it afterward.’”
The crowd was quick to nod in agreement, knowing all too well the slow and often haphazard nature of regulation in the crypto space. Yang cleverly likened it to a suspenseful reality show, tickling the audience’s funny bone.
Yang’s comments came in the wake of a series of hearings on crypto crime, legislation, and regulation. Just days before the summit, the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets had convened to address the challenges in the digital asset sector.
“It’s essential that we hold bad actors accountable in the digital asset ecosystem, so legitimate players can thrive,” chimed in House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry.
The crowd erupted in applause, appreciating McHenry’s emphasis on cleaning up the crypto space and creating a safe environment for investors.
Yang for president?
As the summit progressed, Yang showcased his optimism for using blockchain technology to tackle societal issues, especially poverty.
“We have only scratched the surface of what these tools can do to combat poverty,” Yang passionately expressed.
The audience was captivated by Yang’s vision, picturing a world where blockchain could transform economies and uplift the lives of the less fortunate.
Yang’s unwavering support for digital assets and innovative technologies left the audience wondering about his future political ambitions. Would he run for president again in 2024?
As the session drew to a close, Yang smiled mischievously and said, “I haven’t ruled anything out. Who knows what the future holds?”
The crowd erupted in laughter and applause, eagerly awaiting Yang’s next move. The excitement and buzz in the room were palpable as the audience realized that Yang’s passion for blockchain had the potential to shape the future of digital investment.
