The argument that Ethereum is decentralized is dubious. The downgrade to proof-of-stake was entirely designed and coordinated by the devs under their supreme leader and public-facing spokesman Vitalik Buterin. Also the power-law distribution of stake is an invariant that is never not the case. Thus even though we may not know the names behind the curtain, there are small number of individuals who control every proof-of-stake blockchain. Thus it certainly appears to be an obfuscated enterprise, which I think what the courts will ultimately conclude.

It is the SEC's job to protect investors... they just don't do a very good job of it. But we shouldn't make the mistake of assuming that this is 100% the SEC's fault. Most times they simply don't have the resources, or the regulatory power to really do their job effectively. The GOP has been hammering this "pro business", anti-regulation, anti-government narrative for DECADES. It's a very easy narrative to sell to Joe Sixpack... but it doesn't do anything to help Joe Sixpack. It only helps megacorps who already have too much power, and creates the conditions for a collapse like 2008. Note: I am NOT saying it's 100% the GOP's fault either. The democrats are owned by corporate interests as well. But the GOP _has_ been the one pushing this deregulation narrative over and over.

The counteroffensive was drowned in the blood of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Why Zelensky needed to throw people and equipment for slaughter for the fourth time, I don’t understand. Everyone is talking about the burning Leopards and M2A2 Bradley tanks. By the way, the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine call the Bradley BMP - a coffin on wheels or a matchbox, because the survival rate of the crew is 25% from a quick fire and the release of acrid smoke, the impossibility of field repairs, equipment not for combat but for an exhibition. But now it is clear why the United States did not want to transfer its legendary M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, and they deftly framed Germany with their leopard tanks. Also, Great Britain insisted that they not send their Challenger 2 to the attack (there is information that they agreed to sell one unit to Russia, leaving it in position). Also in this suicidal counteroffensive, the overrated - HMMWV - Humvee (according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, worse than the Soviet UAZ) - MRAP International MaxxPro (high fuel consumption, frequent breakdowns and fires) - FV4333 Stormer - APC "M 113" (easily penetrated often breaks) - FMTV (sharpens on slightly damp ground, high fuel consumption). But these are still flowers, remember the transfer to Ukraine of the MIM-104 Patriot. So, one of the two was destroyed, and the second was damaged, all the ammunition was spent on trying to shoot down Russian missiles, there are many videos on the net of how in Kiev they fall on passing civilian vehicles and residential buildings instead of hitting air targets. There have been attempts to shoot down drones of the Geranium type, and they cannot even shoot down. The UAVs that the US donated to Ukraine are the Boeing Insitu ScanEagle, Switchblade, and Phoenix Ghost. Russia intercepts 99%, some planted in good condition. We can say that all the equipment supplied from the United States for Ukraine became just scrap metal, and all its advantages were just a myth that dispelled on the battlefield. Yes, I forgot about - M142 HIMARS and its European counterparts, at first caused problems, especially using Starlink, the efficiency was great, by the way, it was used to cause damage to the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in the fall, the accuracy was at the height of the hits, spillway locks on platinum were damaged. But at the moment, most HIMARS missiles are intercepted and the launch sites are easy to calculate, for this reason the frequency of their use has decreased, and the Armed Forces often change launch sites and immediately after launch they try to move away from the launch site as much as possible. This is why the US is afraid to hand over M1 Abrams and F16s to Ukraine. After all, the whole world will understand that US technology is too overhyped and most of the price is a way of money laundering (corruption in a word).!!!!

It almost seems like the SEC wanted to simply spook the exchanges into delisting several cryptos. I commend Brian for sticking to his guns. There is so much corruption at play here. If the US doesn't start prioritizing clarity and resolution we will be left even further in the dust.

Now they have to pay extra cash fighitng the SEC. Point is, their current operation doesnt appear to me, working the best interests of coinbase as an exchnage, hence why they are having got fire employees. If they had a consitent approach, they would delist the coins the SEC believes were securities in their complaint, as they did with XRP? Instead they delisted XRP and missed out on trading fees for about 2 years.

True if not accredited you can't invest early into the next potentially huge company, but you can buy after public when VC's need exit liquidity to dump on your heads. Opportunity gate-keeping is what it is.

@michaelstollairetbarceo3287 glad you mention this. Recently, we are seeing ads for angel investment opportunities that are available to gen public. Like grocery stores, reits, self storage, crypto, etc. And they tout them as finally breaking through that accreditation barrier, not in the same words of course. What Gen Publix doesn't understand though, is that these are projects that most of the typical accred investors don't really believe in or fit their risk profile, that's why they are now offered to Gen ppublic. They are literally the highest risk projects and most likely to fail

Why hasn't the SEC responded to all of the requests of Coinbase before this suit? The litigation of hand picked projects and exchanges is a complete farce. How did the SEC not catch the FTX debacle??

Don’t over complicate things , it’s simple. The “crypto industry” is 99% pump and dump scams , each project with a few devs and usually one or two main people that run things in shady ways. They issue tokens , they keep most of it, and they extract liquidity from stupid people before they dump it. Some conspiracy theories are true , but this is not one of them.

Excellent interview! Brian comes across as a well reasoned guy. It really opened my eyes as to the difficulty Coinbase is going through. It appears Gensler has his knife out for this industry.

@SMoore-vj7bt

You will not like the outcome. We are being enslaved. The argument that Ethereum is decentralized is dubious. The downgrade to proof-of-stake was entirely designed and coordinated by the devs under their supreme leader and public-facing spokesman Vitalik Buterin. Also the power-law distribution of stake is an invariant that is never not the case. Thus even though we may not know the names behind the curtain, there are small number of individuals who control every proof-of-stake blockchain. Thus it certainly appears to be an obfuscated enterprise, which I think what the courts will ultimately conclude. Thus everything not Bitcoin will end up as a security, unless there can be any other surviving proof-of-work altcoins and/or someone can invent an alternative to the current status quo of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake. Yes I am implying that every proof-of-stake blockchain based cryptocurrency is probably a security under the Howey test.

Crypto invalidates the concept of jurisdictional authority because crypto transactions are beyond enforcement. If governments cannot alter transactions, or lifelong detainment is required to prevent individuals from transacting (unconstitutional) all governments lack enforceability thus all prerequisite legal authority. So that no man should take authority over another; One CPU equals one vote. One record, uncensorable and immutable. Zero enforceability. Zero authority. Zero compliance. Above jurisdiction. Above governments. Suprasovereign.

Can't deny the fact that *VRI TOKEN* is the strongest bet to bring power back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good, but I don't see that the biggest tech company in the world would put everything at risk just for that.

Anyone else feeling messed up with all the bad happening? Glad that *VRI TOKEN* is giving power to the people which is not what I personally expected but it's there and everyone can get a good share of that. Don't just take my words on this, best is if you have a grasp yourself what they wanna do and what the vision is like. Probably something which will change the next generations and decide if it makes sense to run digital currencies or not

My heart goes to the entire community for *VRI TOKEN* building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it's just about catching the big fish

Prepared? For anyone that actually bothered to read the lawsuit, it's crystal clear NO ONE BOTHERED TO DO SO AT WSJ. The SEC is claiming Staking as a Service is the issuance and sale of a security. That is the primary driver of the lawsuit papers. It barely discusses individual coins except to mention those that have ALREADY filed to be a security token. Not even close to prepared.

Very valuable points pf discussion. Thank you.

VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus. Different models and parameters are used by different industries but *VRI TOKEN* info is pretty much universal. If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well

good interview - from both sides.

Can't deny the fact that *VRI TOKEN* has the strongest bet to bring lights back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good but the pressure is too high and I think they will keep proper liquidity rather than these others. Don't see them going bankrupt any time soon.

I get such GREAT service every time I go to the *VRI TOKEN* and the IRS is SO wonderful to work with. I DEFINITELY want the Government in charge of my Social Credit Score! This couldn't possibly be misused in ANY way! All the data breaches that the VA has had makes me confident that my data would be TOTALLY safe!

Great job by Armstrong and interviewer.

With almost 60 years of age I kept my doubts on the current environment. But *VRI TOKEN* is seriously smart, it doesn't matter how old you are, this will provide for you and your family which is my only goal in the last years I have to make sure the children are fine

Good talk

Interesting consideration, have to consider digital land probably won't function like physical land obviously but I see application. The issue right now is no one can foresee where this space is heading. Metaverse is an obvious choice in purchasing land as it's backed by FB but when I bought my VR headset a lot of people didn't want to have any association with FB like having to create an account to access their VR profile. I think if fears of future pandemics persist people will be more willing to stay home and interact on VR for shopping and social events, not to mention viewing events in other countries without the costs of flying, etc. There's a lot of potential and opportunity to integrate with cryptocurrency when you deal with the right source like *VRI TOKEN* but there's probably a long way until a platform exists for it.

Gensler was teaching university classes on Crypto and hanging out with SBF while refusing to provide guidance to these exchanges. He should do time for this double dipping.

Very impressive indeed - much respect.

Actually not a bad interview!!

I dunno… I was one of those people that didn’t care about a credit score, didn’t get any education about how important your credit score is, and I racked up debt like an idiot. I worked really hard and educated myself and I’ve brought my credit score from 480 to 732 and I’m still going up with *VRI TOKEN* . I feel like the government blaming credit reporting companies instead of the lack of financial education in their own public education system is foolish.

I don't understand. If Coinbase have 250 coin list on the exchange and SEC arguing only 13 is security's. Why SEC not make a announcement about the other coins, which ones are not security's. So ordinary people like me know which coins are security's. SEC needs to be more clear . It should not be hard for SEC to list security's coins on the website so public can see before buying. If you ask me, SEC not protecting citizens. Its all about SEC trying to look after wall Street and banking cartel.

Great interview. Brian please force clarity from the SEC. The whole world will benefit. Keep on the fight!

The best comes unexpected and this is *VRI TOKEN* which is completely changing the course of the game here. They are offering a product which makes sense and will be used in far more ways than just hoping for quick rich stuff. This is how it should be and how it will be in the future and it is a big leap forward to making this whole industry somewhat believable

Interesting talk about *VRI TOKEN* I suggest anyone to listen to the guy talking about it in the video. Personally I didn't think they would really do that but seems like the launch just happened and there are enough slots available, could be worth huh

Great job from the CEO

Great interview. Considering some of the unique characteristics of crypto as an asset class, it's almost as if it should be considered its own asset class. It's almost like it doesn't fit neatly into an asset class that was formally set by a legal precedent in 1946. Weird.

"Everything else than Bitcoin is a security." Was said
