I’ve had many public and not-so-public spats with coin center over the years, but without then we’d be in a much worse place. Coincenter hasn’t had a lot of public success, but they’ve been in the room talking to folks in DC and getting them to see some value in bitcoin for many many years. We don’t have to imagine what it would look like had they not paid that groundwork - just look at Europe. I doubt there’s a single MP who knows the difference between bitcoin and solana, all while writing tons of regulation for them both, but we have many staffers and even several senators who actually do!
