The purpose of this note is to suggest that the current government attack on digital assets (choke point 2.0) may be short lived. It believe it will be replaced by the government’s focus on AI.

AI has powerful and immediate implications for employment. That is particularly true for knowledge workers and anyone who makes their living through expertise. Examples abound. Financial analysts, radiologists, lawyers, accountants … all of these workers rely on expertise that can be accessed globally via AI.

The outcry from these workers will refocus political discourse away from digital assets and onto employment.
