## Quote — verbatim

> A big thing — my bet would be privacy tech. I think next 18 months to two years we're going to have heavy regulatory hammer throwing down on crypto. I think this is going to be the test of time. I think privacy tech will be the battleground... usable privacy... my bet is privacy-driven every other area — privacy-driven DAOs... I can see deployments being private... money markets being private.
