Adrian Fenty

I was coming out of...

And Adrian Fenty, now this is funny because it's Adrian Fenty, Mira Bowser, now Sister Janice.

I was coming out of a political situation in Washington, D.C. where I basically went away from engineering and helped a good friend of mine become mayor and that.

and try to change the world in that way.

All those things helped us, helped me line up.

my understanding of what my talents were supposed to be used for.

And I think in many ways, when ultimately, when I got into Bitcoin, I had really done a lot to help, you know, the folks I knew who were organizing and doing things like the former mayor of Washington, D.C., Adrian Fenty, and the things that he was trying to do as a young person, one of the youngest mayor ever, like trying to change things.

And I realized The tech was still better than the politics because, again, two plus two is four.

Yes.

So I think she feels, probably rightly, that the people are on her side, but I think you need look no further than someone like Adrian Fenty, Bowser's political mentor, to know that people can turn on [laughs] mayors very quickly if they feel, in particular, they aren't being listened to or that the mayor is pushing through ideas because they think it's good and, and are not listening to their constituents, even if it might end up being for the best.

So I, I think that she is making this bet that it will not cost her and that the type of people who got her into office will welcome this, but there's only one way to find out.

Like, I, I think that the bike and transit advocates are not often their own best advocates.

corner.

And so when, like Adrian Fenty was mayor when I was in grad school and he was young, charismatic and like just an amazing guy and is like an incredible mentor to me and like a, like I think a generation of like minority kids in DC.

But Fenty was the first person who got me interested in local politics.

Yeah.
