I had the distinct honor and pleasure of doing a recap song for the Blockchain Association's annual Blockchain Policy Summit conference. It was so fun!

Every day is a new day 
In Gary Gensler’s SEC
The regulatory equivalent of George Santos
With an Etch A Sketch instead of policy 

If I sell you a Pokemon Card
Is that a security? No, my friend
SELL u Pokemon Card on the blockchain
Is that a security? It depends.

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win 

There are lots of projects that put a white paper out
Collect a bunch of money and then that’s that
Why won’t the SEC go after those people
Instead of wasting time killing Stoner Cats

If you have ideas for Hester PURSE
Please bring them along to her
So she can do more than just write dissents
Or she’ll go become a beekeeper 

Crypto folks were the very first ones
To step in and help Ukraine
When they tweeted out for donations
It was 40 million dollars in just three days

Jim Hines was a rhode scholar and he can’t understand
A single word that most of us say
Democrats need to hear about those simple killer apps
Before they’ll send any good vibes our way

Regulatory clarity 
Will come from the courts
But legislative intervention 
Would be nice to get that first

There’s a difference between having a rule
And operationalizing it
Senator Lummis says 
That NFTs are gonna be big
