Our attempt to restart the convo on DeFi & reg/risk in substantive context. Recognizing DeFi as fundamentally cyber critical infrastructure underpinning financial elements + a natural alignment around accessible & resilient networks, without treating every bytecode as a bank.

I find the SEC’s “all crypto projects have to do is come in and register” line unbelievably insulting. It assumes there’s this vast quantity of sophisticated securities lawyers advising clients, “nah man, screw the SEC, yolo baby, do whatever you want.” 1/6

It’s always about consent. There are real psychological impacts of activities that occur in the metaverse. The answer is not “don’t go into the metaverse.” The answer is “don’t engage in non-consensual activity.”
