👏👏👏
Today, Consensys took an important step towards preserving access to ether and by extension the Ethereum blockchain in the U.S. We are suing the SEC and fighting back against its overzealous regulatory overreach. You can find more of my thoughts here: consensys.io/blog/consensys……
Privacy is normal. Living in a surveillance state in which the government demands to watch everything we do with our money at all times without obtaining a warrant is NOT normal. Treating software developers who build privacy-preserving technology as criminals is reprehensible.
Neeraj became famous for umbrellagate. But this was his finest hour:
i’m sorry that your warrantless surveillance regime was built on the assumption that people would always need intermediaries to transact
2020: DeFi 2021: NFTs 2022: DAOs 2023: DeSocial 2024: suing the SEC
Is there any other industry dealing with half the headache as crypto?
I know ETH is a commodity. You know ETH is a commodity. The CFTC knows ETH is a commodity. It's time for the SEC to admit that it still knows ETH is a commodity too. No more games. Thank you to @Consensys for standing up against the SEC's unlawful expansion of authority.
