@hinshaw A bit thank you to @hinshaw and the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education (IICLE) for the opportunity to advance my learning on such a timely and exciting topic.

Hinshaw attorney Jack Shadid’s article in IICLE's "FLASHPOINTS" newsletter examines Illinois's adoption of the 2022 Uniform Commercial Code Amendments, which modernize commercial law for digital assets like #cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based records.

@NetrunnerBTC @valkenburgh For example, to buy ETH on Coinbase, I need access to the internet through Comcast, Verizon, etc. Also, I believe Coinbase partners with an FDIC-insured bank in order to allow me to exchange USD for ETH. Are the ISPs and banks not just the gatekeepers for crypto?

[Jack Shadid @JackShadid]

@NetrunnerBTC @valkenburgh Regarding the absence of a corporate middle man, for someone who doesn't mine for coin, is it possible to acquire crypto without first sending my money to a state-registered bank? Also, is it possible for a blockchain to exist without relying on a corporate internet provider?

Wealth, like a tree, grows from a tiny seed. The sooner you plant the first seed the sooner shall the tree grow. And the more faithfully you nourish and water that tree with consistent savings, the sooner may you bask in contentment beneath its shade. - The Richest Man in Babylon

Pay yourself first. A part of all you earn is yours to keep. Strive to save not less than a tenth no matter how little you earn. - The Richest Man in Babylon

[Jack Shadid @JackShadid]

Every dollar saved is a servant to work for you. Every cent that dollar earns is its child that also can earn. If you would become wealthy, then what you save must earn, and its children must earn, that all may help to provide the abundance you crave. - The Richest Man in Babylon
