This was originally published last week on Nic's Medium.
This week, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast and made some explosive claims about the systematic “debanking” of politically disfavored firms and individuals, specifically the crypto industry. At the start of the clip, he fingers the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency created largely by Elizabeth Warren, as the culprit behind the debanking of crypto startups. A number of critics pushed back, saying that not only is such debanking not happening, but the CFPB is actually focused on ending debanking.
The problem is that there are several different questions being litigated here. The first: what is Marc Andreessen complaining about, and are his concerns valid? The second: what role, if any, does the CFPB play in the debanking of politically disfavored entities — are they a culprit or an inhibitor?
