THE TAX BILL WOULD BE OVERALL
NEGLIGIBLE IF NOT ZERO.
STUART: YOU ARE ALSO THE GUY WHO
RUNS THE CFPB, THE CONSUMER
FINANCIAL PROTECTION BOARD.
WE HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS THE
NEW CYBERATTACK ON
CRYPTOCURRENCY INVESTORS CAME
FROM NORTH KOREA.
DO YOU THINK INVESTORS NEED SOME
KIND OF PROTECTION HERE IN
AMERICA?
>> I GUESS, THAT IS A FAIR
QUESTION.
I THINK EVERYBODY DESERVES A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PROTECTION.
CERTAINLY WE'LL GET A CHANCE TO
LOOK AT THAT POSSIBLY AS WE LOOK
AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT NEW TYPES
OF FINANCIAL CURRENCIESES AND SO
CRYPTO, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS
PEOPLE BUY CRYPTOCURRENCIES,
TALKING TO FOUNDER MEMBER OF
BITCOIN -- IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE
OFFSET BY CERTAIN PROTECTIONS
WITHIN THE DISTRIBUTED LEDGER
TECHNOLOGY THAT UNDERPINS
BITCOIN, WHEN YOU BUY
CRYPTOCURRENCY, NOT BUYING
SOMETHING THAT BEARS SEAL OF
APPROVAL FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
THAT IS WHY THEY'RE NOT BUYING
IT.
BITCOIN IS NOT THE SAME AS
TREASURY AND SHOULDN'T.
STUART: I HAVE GOT 30 SECONDS
LEFT.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU, YOU MUST HAVE
SEEN THAT MEDICAL PRESS
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY WITH THE
REPORTERS ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS
OF THE PRESIDENT'S DOCTOR.
WHAT IS YOUR FIRST REACTION?
>> I WAS IN THE OVAL OFFICE
DURING THAT PRESENTATION.
I ONLY SAW A SNIPPET OF IT.
WELL AS COGNITIVE ABILITY.
ENTIRELY CONSISTENT WHAT
EVERYBODY SEES HERE IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
WE HOPE THAT PUTS THAT STORY TO
BED.
STUART: THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER
ASKED ANY QUESTION LIKE THAT TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA OR EVEN TO
PRESIDENT BUSH.
THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THAT,
WOULD THEY?
>> I THINK THAT MANY FOLKS IN
THE PRESS JUST DECIDED THEY WILL
NOT TREAT THERE PRESIDENT VERY
PRESIDENTIAL.
THAT IS JUST THE WORLD WE LIVE
SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REAL COLD OUT
THERE.
THE BOOK ABOUT THE PRESIDENT IT
IS SUNNY AND WARM HERE IN
