As the blockchain world becomes increasingly sophisticated and regulated, it requires professionals who not only understand the blockchain world, but how to integrated it with traditional financial and legal frameworks so as to make the technology accessible to more and compliant with existing laws and regulations; or, when necessary, to push policymakers to draft smart new laws and regulations that are better suited to the realities of blockchain technology. And, when all that fails, or when governments drag their feet, the blockchain industry needs key leaders who can step up and organize self-regulatory organizations that can intelligently lead the way!
