Chamath Palihapitiya, host of the podcast "All In" and an experienced venture capitalist, has a history of supporting startups and causes. He has invested in successful companies like Slack and Yammer, and has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin's potential to reach $200k among venture capitalists. Palihapitiya's career has included senior executive roles at Facebook, despite starting out working at Burger King during his teenage years.

"Crypto is dead in America. “You had Gensler even blaming the banking crisis on crypto. The United States authorities have firmly pointed their guns at crypto (companies). They were probably the ones that were the most threatening to the establishment. And they were the ones that, in fairness to the regulators, did push the boundaries more than any other sector of the startup economy.”

Despite expressing concern about the current state of affairs, Chamath Palihapitiya maintains his belief in the potential of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. He, along with other notable figures like Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, suggests that the future growth of the industry may lie outside of America, in regions such as Europe, Asia, or other parts of the world. This sentiment was echoed during a testimony before Congress, where McHenry criticized SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
