Whilst I object vehemently to the targeting of open source decentralized developers, this was an inevitable vector for Tradfi defense. The problem is that he is technically correct under the law as it is drafted and that most protocol developers (most not really decentralized) have ignored the fact that the business model of many in DeFi is technically market abuse by unfairly enabling those with more money to front run, back run and bandit attack other (retail) users. This feature of 99% of blockchains (EVM & Clones are serial by design) is their Achilles heel in competing with tradfi in a regulated market or being tolerated in unregulated markets. The only protocol which has solved this is @VerusCoin

We @VerusCoin @VerusCommunity have been waiting for you…this is the moment to understand that a credibly neutral, decentralized protocol innovated on Satoshi’s vision understood why ZK snarks at layer 1 would be necessary, why the agentic future needed smart transactions built on Self sovereign layer 1 identities, with AMMs & LPs that remove predatory MEV to enable everyone to get best execution. The time has come and we welcome you all to Verus, The true Internet of Valu and Values
Congratulations Bitcoin?
The Irony of celebrating being securitized, willfully capitulating to the Tradfi Wall Street“Masters of the Universe” after obsessing for so long about being classified as a security.
The triumph of “Number go Up” (Greed) and the inevitable loss of the Network’s Censorship Resistance (Self Sovereignty) via regulatory capture that the community encouraged.
The simplicity of buying shares will drive price and centralized adoption but gut the People Power and community from the protocol. Even the leading service providers (Wallets Exchanges Services) have to realize that their importance and profitability will be massively negatively impacted by this ultra low cost centralizing force.

Watching how unilaterally Google axed their own long time employee's access should be a reminder to web3 teams how fast their entire Google infra could be shut down. Don't be entirely dependent on them not to rug.

Ever wondered how specifically ZK-SNARKs are used to preserve privacy, including some of the non-obvious tricks like how to prevent double-spending, and what the limits of ZK-SNARKs are?
This post tries to explain some of these ideas:
