Yesterday, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce sat down for a fireside chat with NYDIG founder Ross Stevens at New York City’s Bitcoin-themed bar PubKey.

The two traversed a number of topics during their discussion, including why it’s important that the world has a permissionless network and asset like Bitcoin as well as why transactional privacy should be a right for U.S. citizens.
