The relationship between the current U.S. administration and Big Tech is far more nuanced than a simple friend-or-foe dynamic. Tech giants are caught in a complicated dance with policy makers—facing potential regulatory scrutiny on one hand, while potentially benefiting from certain deregulation efforts on the other.

What does this really mean for the crypto and blockchain space? When Washington's stance on Big Tech shifts, downstream effects ripple through Web3 infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and market sentiment. Companies operating at the intersection of tech innovation and financial services need to pay close attention.

The policy landscape keeps evolving. Understanding these shifting dynamics isn't just background noise—it's crucial context for anyone tracking industry developments and market implications.

Basically, it's about watching how Big Tech plays political games with Washington, and our Web3's fate swings along with it... Life is really exhausting.

Policies are a double-edged sword; no one can predict whether Washington's next move will be to support or to attack. But to be honest, we've long seen through the little tricks of Big Tech and politicians. The key is how Web3 responds; at that time, the compliance framework will have to be rebuilt from scratch. The real issue is... with this shift in policy direction, retail investors' wallets are about to move accordingly. One word from Washington, and the on-chain ecosystem will have to readjust, which is troublesome.

In plain terms, it’s the policy direction that determines whether we can eat; we need to keep a close eye on what’s happening over in Washington.

Three years ago, I knew this would happen; policy swings are inevitable. Big tech companies and Washington are so entangled... In the end, Web3 still has to dance to the rhythm of big tech. I have to admit, this is a very insightful perspective.

Alright, to put it simply, Washington and the tech giants are playing a power game, and we crypto folks are just here to watch the show. The more polite term is "nuanced," but the harsh reality is that policies can change at any time, and your compliance framework might become invalid tomorrow. Who can accurately predict how this drama will unfold? Anyway, following the big capital is never wrong. This policy shift has a significant impact on on-chain infrastructure, but these traditional media outlets never get to the point. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself to analyze various signals and not be fooled by official statements.

Basically, the relationship between big corporations and Washington is so complicated that it's unpredictable, and our crypto circle has been dragged into it as the scapegoats.
