“The cordial atmosphere of this week’s hearings was the culmination of months of careful diplomacy by Bitcoin advocates. Since the spring, leaders of the Bitcoin community and sympathetic policy advocates have been engaging with federal regulators, lawmakers and other influential figures inside the beltway. The result: a near-unanimous consensus that the federal government needs to be careful to avoid hampering the growth of the world’s first completely decentralized payment network. Murck and Andresen’s trip to Washington proved to be crucial to building productive relationships with policymakers.”
