How is it even legal for the gov to approve coinbase to go public then to come back years later and say they're operating illegally? Why was I allowed to buy the stock then? It's not like they changed how they operated since they were approved

3/ While we understand that this is all part of the journey to reforming our financial system, we are right on the law, confident in the facts, and welcome the opportunity for Coinbase (and by extension the broader crypto community) to get before a court.

This is crazy - an inaccurate WSJ article (citing evidence from Elliptic) caused 20% of congress to sign a letter. Elliptic has now refuted the evidence in the WSJ article. @WSJ will you issue a retraction/correction?

A lot of folks don't realize that crypto is really the 3rd generation of the internet, re-decentralizing it. It is Web 3. Fully aligned with the goals of financial inclusion and checking the power of big tech.

This kind of decel thinking is what destroyed value at Google, and OpenAI used to be the antidote to it (now fell to the same forces, if true). EA destroyed a lot of value in crypto, now AI. San Francisco is part of the issue here also. Lots of it traces back to Marxist thinking.…
