Hey this is Steve Good on The Coin Chat
with my co-host Yuri Cataldo and today

we are with a presidential candidate
who's also a big fan of blockchain

to 不定詞

Andrew Yang. Andrew welcome to the show
it's great to have you on. Thank you for

having me both of you it's a pleasure to
be here.

Fantastic. Thank you for joining us. So I am joining from my home, I was joking with the guys its my kid's

room. Even presidential candidates
have to hide from their family sometimes.

Don't we all. I'm hiding behind a green screen here. I'm just glad I have a family to hide from. True!

So I think it's great to have
you on the show really you know thank

you so much for taking the time out I
know you're a busy guy you're out you've

got a lot of things to do to raise
awareness of your your presidential

candidacy and generating all that
interest and you know I think for Yuri

and I we just wanted to have a chance to talk with you and to help

you raise a bit of awareness around your
campaign and kind of get to know a

little bit about what you're doing of
course from our perspective we'd love to

hear a lot more about your interests in
your your view on blockchain and we've

got some questions we've put together
for you, to just you know, to have

an open discussion and just kind of hear
where it's all going to go and

what you see is happening. Well thank you
for that and thank you for sensing that

we're incredibly aligned where my vision
of the economy is very consistent with

the people who are in the cryptocurrency
community and are working on blockchain

advancements where we need to move
towards a more decentralized system for

sure that's more transparent and
blockchain you know it's like many other

technologies where it's going to have
its drawbacks at various times but the

long-term potential is staggering. And
really the reason I fell

into so many friends in the community is
that I found that approximately

99% of people in the blockchain
community are pro Universal Basic Income

which as you may know is the central
pillar of my campaign. Yes. So I arrived

at that through the reality that we are
automating away millions of American

million manufacturing jobs leading to
Donald Trump's election in 2016 and now

we need to start evolving and to me
moving toward the blockchain is part of

that evolution so one of the things
we're looking at right now is we could

potentially enable voting on the
blockchain in a way that would free

people up from these lines at poll
stations and all these systems that

everyone's like not even sure if they're
getting attacked by the Russians and the

rest of it. I was just at a
meeting of people who are looking to

distribute universal basic income on the
blockchain which I think is where it

will go eventually I'm also for the
implementation of a national digital

currency to supplement the dollar
because there are many many things that

we could do that the dollar cannot do so
this campaign really and one of the

jokes I tell is that people sometimes
call me a futurist but I believe I'm a

present-ist it's just that most of the
politicians are stuck in the past

because that's just their experience. For
sure. For me I've been a serial

entrepreneur I've worked in technology
for about 20 years and I know what's

possible so with people like you
hopefully we can spread that word to

people around the country. So its an interesting point

that you made least a couple of comments and
in this that I wanted to pick up on one

was the transparency which as you
probably know with cryptocurrency when

you get into privacy coins it creates
some interesting dilemmas especially for

the IRS and for tax. The other thing that
I'm wondering about so I'm just gonna

ask you these two things together is
that is that you know I'm based in

London by the way Yuri's based in Boston.
So as an outsider that spent most of my

last two years in the crypto world as an
adviser to other companies what I've

seen is a complete absence of the U.S.
being really present

mostly because of regulation because of
the SEC and I'm just wondering if you

have any particular views on how we can
open up the potential channels for

allowing the U.S. to really thrive in a
cryptocurrency community or a crypto

community a blockchain community when
there's been so much that's restricted

America while we've seen China and Korea
and Japan and India and

some parts of Europe just thrive,
Russia, thriving because you know

technology and people have been able to
really get into it and I've seen the

U.S. just kind of fall behind on some
respects. Do you have any you know

thoughts on privacy and its impact on
tax and also how we can open up the

channels to really open up the doors for
more innovation in crypto and

blockchain for the U.S? You know I think
the second point is so key where people

think of America is like the hotbed of
innovation and technology when in

reality the American, certainly the
political system, is quite backward and

retrograde and incredibly bureaucratic
and you can see it with the blockchain

and other crypto currencies where the
U.S. is essentially throwing its hands

up and been like you know don't really
have an approach here and so as a result

certainly there are many people in
America who are making use of crypto

currencies but it's a it's not as
supported and there's a lot more

confusion in the u.s. because the place
is not as forward-looking. So I hope to

be able to change that I mean as
President I believe I can start to move

America forward and one of one of the
other jokes I tell is that the opposite

of Donald Trump is an Asian man who
likes...his goal is to freeze time and

turn the clock backwards and we need to
accelerate time and move it forwards and

that includes certainly having a much
more intelligent approach to the

blockchain and other technologies that
would really so I think the other thing

that's going on in the U.S. that's very
painful to admit is that there's just a

lot of rent-seeking in the US and the
truth is if you had the blockchain and

other technology as fully revved up then
you would end up disintermediating

accounting firms and law firms and
financial institutions

and those substitutions really control
much of the American system where no one

wants to let anything out that's going to
end up disrupting their revenue streams

Interesting. Yuri over to you. So I...you're one of the few presidential

candidates who are accepting crypto
currencies on on your site which i think

is amazing and you yourself have
mentioned on your website that

campaign donors have to register and
also not to share your wallet address so

that people can't make untraceable
donations. I'd like to hear your thoughts

on how this could eventually
maybe affect politics in the future

because a lot of people who...A lot of  people believe that when they hear Bitcoin or

blockchain or crypto currencies they
think of launderers, your money

launderers drug dealers and then dark
money so how would you approach this

idea of getting cryptocurrencies
involved without that dark money aspect?

Yeah and hopefully like even my campaign
can be an example of this where if it's

simply an exchange of value there's
nothing sinister about it and certainly

for us I joke that you could donate
chickens to my campaign as long as I

knew that it was you and like you know
chickens are worth a certain amount. So you can't just

anonymously donate Ether or a
Bitcoin to our campaign from SEC rulings
