Policy decisions made in the next two years could shape the future of the blockchain industry for decades to come. A key decision policymakers will have to make is how to define decentralization. Like many others, we recommend focusing on control, and Sarah Brennan and I are

"Saying you're decentralized while recording transactions in Excel has been possible — because there were no targets to hit." Sarah Brennan joined the Techquitable podcast to explain why crypto needs real principles of decentralization, as regulation can level the playing field.

Grateful to discuss sanctions complexity for devs: TC delisting kept Semenov sanctioned as a contributor to now-delisted immutable code. What is the contribution threshold? How to ever get delisted if lack control? For devs, the GoldenAge is a more dynamic/complex BronzeAge.

many of us sounded the warnings about centralized stables on decentralized autonomous systems for years, even some things like Terra that turned out terrible were motived by the desire to break centralized stable dominance now look...it would be a *fiasco* if Ripple acquires

Just revealed: FinCEN explicitly told prosecutors Samourai Wallet wasn't a money transmitter due to its non-custodial design; DOJ prosecuted developers anyway, suppressing exculpatory evidence for a year.

_gabrielShapir0 Vulgar libertarian apologists for capitalism use the term "free market" in an equivocal sense: they seem to have trouble remembering, from one moment to the next, whether they’re defending actually existing capitalism or free market principles. When prodded, they’ll grudgingly

Truly an amazing turnabout at the SEC

The SEC Task Force did a great job of pulling together *actual* industry voices who gave actionable steps forward and didn’t hold back in live critiques. A highlight was emphasizing disclosures and resulting better outcomes: - enforcement can target fraud, - startup costs are

crypto and free-market libertarianism are actually somewhat uneasy bedfellows imo part of the power cryptosystems is the way they make us *less* free...by enabling binding commitments, unbreachable contracts.... hyper-free-markets thinking leads to the "efficient breach" theory
