#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

💥 At the SEC’s latest crypto roundtable, big ideas flew: Eth

🛠️ Atkins: “Engineers shouldn’t be punished for how others use their code.”

🗽 Peirce: “Code is protected speech under the First Amendment.”

🚀 Voorhees: “Smart contracts are a step‑change upgrade over human regulators.”

🔍 Others: “DeFi isn’t lawless—it’s transparent, predictable, and user‑driven.”

💭 My take: DeFi devs 👩‍💻 deserve the same protections as open‑source builders—innovation flourishes when creators aren’t fearing lawsuits for users’ actions. But we can’t ignore risk: regulation should shift from policing code authors to monitoring on‑chain behavior and outcomes.

📈 As finance becomes code‑first, let’s build smarter, outcome‑focused rules that guard users without stifling progress.

What do you think—protect the builders or reign them in?
