A founder I know left San Francisco for Dubai last year. Top engineering degree. Backed by Y Combinator. Building a DeFi protocol with real traction. He didn't leave because he wanted to. He left because his lawyers told him: "We can't advise you on US regulatory risk with the current ambiguity." He couldn't hire US engineers. Couldn't take US investors. Couldn't serve US users. He moved. Built in Dubai. Now has 200,000 users. Today Congress held a hearing in New York about why crypto talent is leaving. He watched it on a livestream. From Dubai. Senator Lummis is right. The talent is already gone. 🏗️
