The USA was an early adopter of the internet, in a mass market sense.
This was in part due to the early definition of rules for business on the net.
Now faced with the next big thing, crypto, the USA looks to be fence sitting.
Certainly an option, but hardly a leadership position.
Meanwhile other smaller countries around the world are taking on the challenge & moving forward.
Will the USA become a 3rd world crypto country, while India or Malaysia become 1st World.
It could happen, and very soon.
