“The (U.S.) regulatory environment has gotten a lot more clamped down and aggressive...At the same time, that hasn’t brought any clarity. Other parts of the world that are interested in fostering this space are welcoming the innovation.” #DefendCrypto eng.ambcrypto.com/kik-sec-verdic…

"To win the case against Kik, the SEC would restrict innovation and hurt the thousands of “Main Street Investors” that own and use Kin... Precisely the people that it is their mission to protect. Letting the case go... would have provided a better outcome overall." #DefendCrypto

Like I said: if we don't lead (and by "we" I mean the Free World, *not FB*) others will. It wasn't a figure of speech, an exaggeration, or a spin of the reality we face. It was the truth. cointelegraph.com/news/china-is-…

Regulators are catching up to crypto. @ShapeShift_io explains how lack of govt clarity has affected them & others in crypto. We also talk about ShapeShift in the early days, & how their platform has evolved into something much more than a crypto exchange. youtu.be/10UhTucQVRQ

@laurashin and @RebeccaRettig1 discuss Kik's Answer, their distinction between the SAFT sale to accredited investors vs. the token sale to the general public, how we could get new law applied to tokens, as well as how the SEC took quotes out of context. #DefendCrypto #Crypto

On Unconfirmed, Rebecca Rettig explains why she predicted Kik would answer the SEC’s complaint rather than file a motion to dismiss, whether the distinction they make between their SAFT and token sales will hold, and how the SEC took quotes out of context. unchainedpodcast.com/kiks-surprisin…
