Ethereum privacy protocol Railgun contributor Alan Scott Jr. says U.S. regulators and government agencies don’t get enough credit for genuinely “trying to understand” crypto.
United States senators and intelligence agencies may not be as opposed to privacy-focused crypto protocols as some believe, according to Railgun researcher and advocate Alan Scott Jr.
Speaking to Cointelegraph at ETH Global in Sydney on May 2, Scott — a contributor and public advocate for Railgun — said based on conversations he’s had with senators and the FBI in Washington D.C., he hasn’t seen any hints of a crypto privacy crusade on Capitol Hill.
There are many people in the upper echelons of government who are “generally smart, want to do right, and protect people,” he said.
