It would be super helpful for this analysis if @GaryGensler knew how to distinguish between different cryptocurrencies and tokens and understood their widely different technical attributes. Those details are relevant to the investment contract analysis.

Intermediaries for investment contracts are required to comply with securities laws & register with @SECGov . Instead, many crypto platforms are contending that their investment contracts are something else. The law cares about what something actually is, not what you call it.

Dear all: general partnerships are a thing that actually exist. No matter how much you forgot about your BE class in law school. Another way to say general partnership is “for-profit unincorporated association” or “unincorporated association that runs a business.”

Proclamations of the death of crypto are much exaggerated. So are the “see, crypto is all centralized and claims of decentralization are lies!” Stop. Celsius is a centralized entity. Celsius is failing…how does that lead to “regulate decentralization out of existence, fools!”?

But, when regulation fails, it is way easier to blame crypto. So forget that this is regulated activity and regulation failed to stop the problem…just blame “crypto” and wave your hands like you know what that word means. This whole thing is more fuel for my essay.

If there is mass non-compliance and clear rules of the road, like, what have I been doing for a job since 2011? This kind of politicized statement makes me worry about the value of law at all. I am so tired of the woefully inaccurate sound bites.

Let’s be clear: The problem isn’t ambiguity – it’s mass non-compliance, & #crypto companies can’t be let off the hook. 🚨 We shouldn’t invent new accommodating reg. structures simply b/c crypto companies refuse to follow clear rules of the road. 🚨 📺:

To anyone who has helped kill the UCC Amendments entirely in a state for ideological reasons alone, congratulations! All you’ve managed to do is make it so that when people need to use Bitcoin and other crypto as an alternative to a CBDC, they will suffer a higher cost of capital

I feel like I spent the last year of my life writing scholarship telling law makers to understand crypto before they made bad laws….never occurred to me that I should be telling law-makers to understand EXISTING LAW before they vetoed good proposals.

I VETOED HB 1193. This bill adopts a definition of ‘money’ to specifically exclude crypto like Bitcoin. And it opens the door to the risk that the federal government could adopt a Central Bank Digital Currency. South Dakota will always stand for Economic Freedom.

Was grateful to @CoinDesk for the opportunity to shed some light on what is actually going on with the #CBDC changes to the Florida #UCC . Spoiler Alert: the new law does not ban CBDC from use in Florida. It does not do much of anything positive, really.

Florida @GovRonDeSantis signed a bill to prohibit CBDCs. However, "it actually doesn't prohibit the actual use of central bank digital currencies in Florida," argues @Prof_CarlaReyes . Watch more, presented by @trondao :
