Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Coinbase is really making some progress here. I believe they will come out of this stronger and refined. Let's all give them our support.
Coinbase: "Hey SEC, give us regulatory clarity."
SEC: "No."
Coinbase: "Alright, we gonna do our own thing."
SEC: "No you can't do that."
Coinbase: "No problem. Wanna give us rules to follow?"
SEC: "No."
Coinbase: "Why?"
SEC: "Because we're suing you."
Good interview. I think it's interesting that Coinbase had over 30 meetings over the past year with the SEC to try and work with them to provide clarity on what is a commodity vs a security. Armstrong makes some good points like how Europe and the rest of the world has clarity on tokens yet the US doesn't. Coinbase will take SEC to court, and through that ruling, they'll determine what rules apply based on the courts and the law. So regulatory clarity will come eventually. The SEC's lawsuits are kind of a scare tactic imo. I'm with Coinbase on this. Still won't use their platform tho.
The fact that Coinbase was sued the day after Binance, even though one had criminality alleged and one was over interpretation of the law, was deliberate by the SEC to vilify crypto. Itโs clear as day.
The government hates decentralized currency. Theyโd much rather keep us a slave to their fiat printing press.
Every crypto enthusiast should cheer for Coinbase because if they win, we all in (and SEC loses ๐ค).
nothing will happen to crypto. this is a nothing burger. if the u.s. banned crypto, it would trigger a recession. do you realize how much money would be lost by us citizens alone? billions upon billions. itโs not happening. gensler is just trying to scare these companies into complying with the law and making sure they arenโt doing the same shady shit FTX was doing. itโs that simple. ๐ฅฑ
