In Spanish, close to “en casa de herrero, cuchillo de palo.” It might as well be, don’t drink your own poison.

I know nothing. But yes I did read the guide.

“Decentralization” is included in this guide @jchervinsky read it one more time.


Big logical leap over derivatives laws definition to liken a claim in an asset to an option. Totally misses the mark on options and purchase agreements and spot commodities. Folks, be careful on crypto law Twitter.

Most people assume fiat-collateralized stablecoins are safe from regulatory scrutiny, but the SEC & CFTC may not agree. My colleague & I wrote about how stablecoins might be viewed as regulated securities or swaps & what that means for the industry. 👇 coindesk.com/will-fiat-back…



Most stablecoins don't pay interest. Calling them notes totally misses the mark even under reves.

it's misleading to compare @MakerDao CDP to P2P loans. looking closely at the payoff structure of these so-called "loans", it's more like a spot FX swap from ETH to DAO with a call option on ETH. with the call option being funded through overcollateralization.

Clarification that should be corrected by @coindesk @prestonjbyrne. Rescission in Federal Securities context is not as you suggested. Does not eliminate liability, including to purchasers. coindesk.com/civil-startup-…

The only surprise here is that the SEC took this long to enforce against an exchange -we've been waiting since #theDao report to see it. The big questions: which tokens were a "security"?

JUST IN: SEC charges EtherDelta founder with operating an unregistered exchange -- its the agency's "first enforcement action based on findings that such a platform operated as an unregistered national securities exchange." Story to come
