**Ryan Selkis** is the Founder and CEO the crypto data analytics platform **Messari**. [Last time](http://sshq.com/sotn27-is-eth-money-w-ryan-selkis-2020-recap-2021-horizon) Ryan was on the podcast, we debated Ether’s properties as a money and the triple point asset thesis. We revisit many of these topics and explore what has changed in the landscape over the past year.

However, we also discuss a perhaps more pressing issue: the state of regulation for the industry. Ryan is poised to take a strong leadership role in the political side of crypto, and he’s developing offensive strategies for the *crypto vs. nation-state* conflict. Listen in to learn why he’s now a single-issue voter.
