    I’ve never heard of anyone leaving DeFi for TradFi. Few things are ever this binary.

    SEC v Ripple (& XRP) could have enormous implications for the broader crypto market. In this conversation, @JohnEDeaton1 and I discuss everything that’s happened so far, how the case might end, and the idea of decentralized nodes vs tokens.

    Was honored to discuss crypto law with the great SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce. In our wide ranging conversation, the Commissioner answers when a protocol is sufficiently decentralized, whether a digital asset can evolve from a security, and much more.
