DeFi DAO

Of the people, by the people, for the people.

Replace humans with code. #DeFi

Elizabeth Warren is wrong. #Bitcoin doesn't undermine America's national security. It spreads freedom and human rights.

Here's an excerpt of a letter @bitcoinpolicy sent the Treasury Department explaining why: 🧵

'OFAC compliant blocks' topped out at 80% & is trending down (currently 65%).

This is thanks to:
- Flashbots open-sourcing their relay/builder infra
- More non-censoring relays coming online
- Relays accepting submissions from external builders
- People using Flashbots' minbid

The Senate Agriculture Committee will hold the first of many hearings in Congress on FTX tomorrow.

It's crucial that they understand FTX International didn't fail because of crypto: it failed because of fraud.

Here's the memo @BlockchainAssn sent today: https://t.co/OyJuo2Q9LF

Freedom is important.

[Miller @millercwl]

"DeFi shouldn’t be ensnared in a catch-all regulatory response to the FTX debacle."

The DCCPA "might have hampered decentralized exchanges by burdening them with rules more suited to centralized ones."

Hey @cz_binance - what happened here?

Seems like it's time for some new guiding principles.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

If we are blessed with wisdom, we ought not minimize faith in bad actors, but faith in all actors.

This is the type of development that truly strengthens the foundations of DeFi.

Bravo.

Has OFAC violated your rights?
You may be entitled to decentralization

First community call in the books. We're at the beginning of a long road, but the path is well lit by those who have come before us.

Great interview with @kristinsmith, @jchervinsky, and @laurashin on ways to move the needle in midterms.

Paying for access, litigating bad regs, and affecting policy is one thing, but placing moderate, aligned candidates in office is the final boss.

Less:

- Bank-like businesses

More:
- User experience
- Transparency
- Decentralization

[Jake Chervinsky @jchervinsky]

I want to know how many whistleblower complaints were filed with the SEC tipping them off to FTX's fraud.

I want to know how many were filed before FTX met with Chair Gensler's office to talk about a sweetheart deal.

I want to know why our "cop on the beat" was blind to this.
