"Gigabrain cryptolawyer"

There is no second best cryptolawyer. Most copy his homework. Extremely in the trenches and one of the few who has thought through both tech and legal issues from first principles. Opinionated, contrarian, polarizing. A favorite among builders for his commitment to cypherpunk values and decentralization over the years, including when it wasn't popular (e.g. he played a big role in killing SBF's regulatory capture bill by open sourcing the draft for public discussion on Github as it was being negotiated behind closed doors, and was heavily criticized by DC insiders at the time for they considered a breach of etiquette). Founder of MetaLeX (crypto legal tech protocol making smart contracts and real world legal systems work better together).
