The Trump Administration is shaping up its stance on two of tech's biggest battlegrounds. David Sacks, heading up the AI and crypto portfolio at the White House, has been in talks with Michael Kratsios, the Director of Science & Technology Policy, to hammer out the details on how the government will handle digital assets and artificial intelligence going forward.

These aren't casual conversations—they're laying the groundwork for regulatory direction that could reshape how the industry operates. With crypto and AI both under intense scrutiny globally, the signals coming from Washington will matter. Observers in the space are watching closely to see whether the Administration leans toward fostering innovation or tightening the reins. Either way, the outcome could have ripple effects across markets and the broader tech ecosystem.

Are sacks really reliable? It still depends on their subsequent actions to speak. --- Is this the same old story? Washington always says they want to foster innovation, but what’s the result... --- The fate of crypto is once again being decided by politicians, incredible. --- AI and crypto are both under scrutiny this time; hopefully it’s not just hype again. --- Let’s wait and see how they tighten the reins. Anyway, the impact will fall on us. --- David Sacks’ move here means... are they going to loosen up or clamp down hard? --- The White House is finally starting to take these two fields seriously, progress maybe. --- Don’t just talk about laying the groundwork; I really want to know what the regulatory direction is. --- Ripple effects across markets... just listen, but the key is how ETH and BTC will react. --- It feels like they’re giving the market a warning shot; the real shoe has yet to drop.

Watching these people in the White House banging their heads deciding our future... It's really outrageous. On-chain data speaks for itself. Just wait and see the flow of funds to understand their true intentions.

Sacks is involved in crypto, I always feel like something's going to go wrong... --- It's "laying groundwork" again, just hearing it makes me suspect there's definitely some trick behind it. --- Is it true that the US government is supporting innovation? I feel like it's more likely they are just continuing to cut the leeks. --- Let's wait and see. Anyway, the ones who get hurt in the end are still us retail investors. --- Is David Sacks reliable? Please educate me. --- If they really foster innovation, I would go all in... but I don't believe it. --- Let's wait and see. Words are empty; the key is how the policies are implemented.

lol sacks actually getting serious about this? empirically speaking, we've seen this regulatory theater before. the data suggests most "groundwork conversations" end up being performative nonsense designed to appease both sides. curious if they're even thinking about token-weighted frameworks or if it's just decentralization theater again 🤷

What exactly is Sacks doing? Can the conversation between these two people determine the entire future of crypto?

Can sacks really produce something good... it's a bit uncertain.

Are sacks really reliable? It still seems to depend on subsequent actions. Will they truly loosen the restrictions on stablecoins? I won't believe it just by words alone. It would be great if this wave truly supports innovation, but the probability is a bit uncertain... Here we go again, every time they say they want to promote it, but the rules are still the same. Regulatory expectations test patience the most, let's wait and see.

Sacks is really steadily rising, and now the regulatory direction for crypto and AI might be about to change.
