I'm guessing the SEC also backed way the hell off when real serious money starting moving into the space after all, it's not like their job is to stop the financial industry from blowing billions of other people's dollars on stupid quasi-legal bullshit

Just-In-Timeberlake posted:"humans horrified" I got trolled by a lion at the DC zoo once I was walking near the big cat area when I heard a weird sound. the lion was standing up on a hill and roaring. everyone nearby was drawn over to see if it was going to do anything cool the lion stops roaring, looks around at the huge expectant crowd gathered around it, sits down, and starts licking his nuts

I remember a pretty good post and/or link earlier in this thread about something called the Howey test, which is effectively a legal codification of the principle that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck as applied to securities basically it means that if you sell something based on the promise that it will increase in value later due to factors outside the buyer’s control, it’s a security which definitely applies to crypto products

the NY state legislature just passed a bill putting a two-year pause on granting permits to revive idle fossil fuel plants for crypto miningquote:The New York bill calls for a two-year halt on new permits for miners that use carbon-based fuel and also, requires an environmental impact study with an eye on meeting climate goals established under a 2019 statute. Existing mining firms or ones currently undergoing the permit renewal process would be allowed to continue operations. can't find anything on the likelihood of the governor signing it but I hope it's high
