David Sachs

Thank you, Mr. President.

We're all here today because of your leadership, your vision, and your generosity, and I really want to thank you for that.

We're also here because of your desire to make America great and to introduce a golden age in America, including for digital assets.

And we're here because of your love of innovators, or as you might say, high IQ people.

We know you love high IQ people.

We have about 30 of them here in the room today.

These are the top people in the digital asset industry.

And one other thing that I think that you love is legal fairness.

This is an industry that was subjected to prosecution and persecution for the last four years, horrible lawfare, and nobody knows what that feels like better than you do.

So we really appreciate the fact that you understand legal fairness and that you're always willing to fight for the right thing, for legal fairness.

You never back down.

You stand to fight, even in the face of an assassin's bullet.

It's an inspiration to everyone in this room, I think.

So it's an honor.

Do you believe that META bears any responsibilities for these horrific crimes?

I think that our responsibility is to develop tools that can help identify people like this and prevent these things from happening.

Some of those regulations are OK.

A lot of them are knee-jerk and aren't really thought through.

These crimes are done by these criminals who are sex offenders.

And we should work as hard as we can to stop that activity from happening.
