To say that the SEC "has loosened rules that make it much easier to invest in crypto" is like saying Venezuela suffers from "brutal capitalism." https://x.com/JackSolowey/status/1821907029918695822

My thoughts on the rise of *decentralized expertise* following the global financial crisis and the lessons from crypto, DeFi, and retail investor empowerment for a way out of our ongoing crisis of trustworthiness: https://warpcast.com/jacksolowey/0xd541e05f

Elite disfunction defines our age. Whether you call it "Brokenism," "late Soviet America," or something milder, the underlying scandal is the same. While better minds than mine debate the best frame, I'll explore how *decentralized expertise* can help us out of our crisis.🧵

Turns out the "Sacramento-Brussels Sandwich" Jennifer Huddleston mentions in our Cato Daily Pod is not an innovative combination of avocado🥑 & chocolate🍫 but an innovation-killing bind threatening AI development.🤖 https://www.cato.org/multimedia/cato-daily-podcast/dont-freeze-technological-advancement-stem-ai

Congress advanced 2 big pieces of crypto legislation in 2 wks--a SAB 121 disapproval (Sen & House) & #FIT21 (House). But it also did something more: it took steps to rein in an administrative state that's perpetrated a long train of abuses against U.S. consumers & innovators.🧵

Crypto is a 21st Century instantiation of decentralized control. The American founding’s version is the separation of powers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Congress has begun, however incrementally, to push back on the administrative state's usurpation of legislative power.🧵

Eyes are on stablecoin policy in DC. Today in @coindesk, Jennifer Schulp & I argue that stablecoin legislation must respect the dual-banking system, an original form of decentralized governance. https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2024/04/29/stablecoin-legislation-must-respect-the-dual-banking-system/

Making AI providers liable for their users' securities law violations--a proposal of the "FAIRR" Act--is bad economics and bad law, I argue in The Regulatory Review. https://www.theregreview.org/2024/04/08/solowey-ai-providers-should-not-be-liable-for-users-securities-violations/

SEC’s aggressive crypto enforcement campaign & passive aggressive refusal to make clear rules is incompatible w/ Congress’s legislative authority. Congress must say enough already. https://open.substack.com/pub/metaverserb/p/crypto-courts-and-congress?r=2r19x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
