### EPISODE NOTES

@jakeauch @cdixon @milesjennings

A quick overview of principles for thinking about policy, briefly covering topics and recent moves that are top of mind in U.S. crypto regulation — from stablecoins to NFTs to DAOs to more. It is based (only lightly edited for this medium) on a live conversation that took place a couple weeks ago on Twitter with:

-   Congressman Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, also Vice-Chair of the Financial Services Committee (he also formerly led product development at both a Fortune 100 insurance company and a cybersecurity startup);
-   Miles Jennings, general counsel and head of decentralization at a16z crypto who has advanced and [published several frameworks](https://a16z.com/author/miles-jennings/) for both builders and industry on topics such as decentralization in practice, legal frameworks for DAOs, and more;
-   Chris Dixon, a16z crypto founding general and managing partner who also moderates this conversation.
