“Bitcoin is paradoxical. It is simple yet complicated, ever-changing yet unchangeable. A novel machine without any novel parts; a technological innovation that isn’t really about technology. You can’t touch it, yet it is hard money. You can’t see it, yet it will show you a vision of the future. You can’t possess it, yet thousands…

“Bitcoin is paradoxical. It is simple yet complicated, ever-changing yet unchangeable. A novel machine without any novel parts; a technological innovation that isn’t really about technology.

Read MoreThe problem today is that we have companies who own both the protocol and discovery of content. Which ultimately puts one person in charge of what’s available and seen, or not.

This is an essential piece diving into the complexities and profound depth in the market establishment of a price.

“This is the root of our cultural concern for crypto DeFi. The cultural, and arguably even structural, commitment to financialization is extremely difficult to reconcile with this core purpose of securities. In a sense, none of this is surprising given the foundations of crypto DeFi.
