It was a good debate. It's a pity Schiff is not really tech-savvy; that would have given him more ammo, and more credibility instead of hand-waving his tech concerns.

I hope they do a Round Two in a few months. We'll see how things shake out

Well I just added the Voorhees/Schiff debate above, including the Voorhees post debate open letter.  This is getting really interesting!

[The #Bitcoin] network is probably one of the most valuable and consequential technologies currently on the planet. Some of us realized this a few years ago. Others are realizing it now. Many more will realize it in the future. The Bitcoin network is, fundamentally, a ledger of title controlled by no man. Ponder that for a moment. The transmission of value and ownership has thus just been severed from the State, not by impotent voting, but by the technological achievement of man.
