1/ Let's start with the witnesses: a head-to-head between Peter Van Valkenburgh for the bulls (@valkenburgh) & Nouriel Roubini for the bears (@nouriel).
Both submitted written testimony before the hearing:
- Peter (banking.senate.gov/download/van-v…)
- Nouriel (banking.senate.gov/download/roubi…)

2/ I thought Peter turned in solid work. He wrote a clear & detailed primer on what crypto is & why it matters in practical, hype-free terms.
Nouriel's work didn't impress. I admit I'm biased in Peter's favor, but it seemed like Nouriel just wanted to scream "get off my lawn!"
