This is exactly the type of insight that can guide a legislator attempting to codify a regulatory framework for this technology that may for the first time in India be appreciated beyond the narrow confines of financial asset regulation. Bullish 🚀.

The paper makes some critical contributions in the Indian context: (1) clear definitions of crypto market participants, (2) classification framework for tokens, (3) thresholds for sufficient decentralisation, & (4) defining what constitutes consensus on a distributed network.

Great work by @HashedEM to put pen to paper on a developer rights-first approach to crypto regulation in India firmly rooted in Indian constitutional law. And thanks to @VishalAchanta @p0gcast_ for the opportunity to preview the draft ahead of launch -🧵.

Is there a compelling justification for AI to have the same rights to free speech as humans? And is @xai as the developer comfortable with assuming liability for everything Grok says and does - at this level of unhinged? I’m happy we’re at a scale of innovation where these.

@boazbaraktcs @xai I’ve heard several people from other labs explain all the things that xAI *ought* to do but I don’t hear good justifications of why these things are good and necessary .Do we have any reason to believe these things (system card, censorship, etc.) improve any desirable outcome?.

I don’t think he’s ever told the story, but it’s worth telling. When we were selling @Behance to Adobe many years ago, @scottbelsky made a spreadsheet of every employee (32 of us at the time) and personally negotiated each persons title, salary and incentive structure, and made.

Interesting new structure - apparently to avoid merger control. Would love to see what the terms of these licenses look like.

Given quite a few misleading statements by @SenWarren at today’s @BankingGOP hearing that “tokenizing securities is just a way for issuers to escape regulation,” happy to see @HesterPeirce clear up this misinformation. Tokenized securities are just….securities. Duh.

I found my way to crypto from a stint in financial inclusion, completely disillusioned with trad fintech and resigned to the fact that any financial innovation for the underserved might have to contend with a wall of archaic regulation. Will be watching @plumenetwork closely but.
