I don't think I have anything useful to say about any of this. I don't accept calls about digital asset marketplaces. I'm not involved in Microsoft's work about climate change. Time is tight due to my existing obligations, so bottom line is I don't think we'd have a useful discussion on these subjects. Apologies.

Ben:
Generally speaking, I was wanting to discuss some innovations related to xNY.io's digital asset marketplace manipulation public policy. Specifically, the White House EO <https://drive.google.com/file/d/159bjYpRTCfSkCBWF9I4LXutEky6zDJzq/view> on digital assets is very thought provoking, especially related to the legacy New York BitLicense frame of thought.
- Also speaking generally, obviously I am aware you are a leading economist at Microsoft. As a Bill and Melinda Gates Scholar, I have been following the obvious logic disconnect at Microsoft and the Foundation's international footprint. - For example, Al Gore, Microsoft, Harvard and Goldman Sachs partnership on climate asset fund: https://fortune.com/2021/10/27/al-gore-climate-fund-harvard-microsoft-goldma... .
In the case of Gore, a member of Apple's board for 18 years or more, it is highly unlikely Harvard and Goldman are going to be the 'financial structure' tipping point to Mr. Gore's legacy climate ambition?
Bank.org's observations on the above are rooted in the logic of innovating beyond illogical structures. More or less, I just wanted to have a discussion with you to pick your brain on the obvious thought experiment.
Let me know what you think, or if you have any general observations about the innovation senario.
Thank you, Ben,
