Welcome to the Policy People Podcast. In this conversation, I discuss the policy of decentralized finance and new blockchain technologies with Jason Hsu. We discuss the democratization of technology and finance, recent cryptocurrency market trends and the regulatory backlash, why tech and politics are becoming more tightly intertwined, how to bridge the gaps in thinking between tech entrepreneurs and policy people, Central Bank Digital Currencies and geopolitical competition, how think tanks can generate more public interest around their events, Taiwan’s approach to DeFi and the country’s new strategy for the 4th Industrial Revolution, why policy is a state of mind and how to keep cultivating it and many more topics.
