## What Jamie wrote

People often highlight a threat to crypto is governments shutting it down. I’m dubious of more open governments doing that mostly because it wouldn't play well. However, there is this growing climate change storyline that is being built around crypto and I would be watching for politicians attempting to use this to try and block something that they worry may cause them some loss of control.
