Good businesspeople, though knowledgeable, tend to not make good panel moderators because the necessary skills run contrary.

Watching the Las Vegas livestream made me realize this. In business, you don’t want to offend because you might need to work with someone in the future. If the truth is uncomfortable, there’s little upside and large downside to stating it. Better to focus on points of uncontroversial agreement.

This makes for boring panel discussions. You have session after session of mods telling politicians, “Thanks for everything you’ve done, you really saved us from Biden/Warren/Gensler, let’s highlight the big moments once again.”

Huge missed opportunity to ask important, interesting questions like:

- What the hell happened to the bitcoin audit?

- How did an XRP lobbyist convince the president’s social media manager to tweet about stockpiling a grab-bag of shitcoins?

- Why is the president making his stated aims harder to achieve by seeking self-enrichment?

You need moderators whose careers depend on asking the tough questions, not businesspeople/marketers/randos whose careers depend on precisely not doing that.
