#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the last roundtable on cryptocurrency, SEC leaders voiced their opinions about DeFi, code, and regulation:

• SEC Chair Atkins: “Engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their code.”

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

• Eric Vorhees: “Smart contracts are a step forward in improving upon human regulators.”

• Others argued that decentralization is not lawlessness — it is transparent, predictable, and user-oriented.

I believe that decentralization is about less interference from manipulators, transparency, and greater code security, because there are too many people who want to grab their piece of the pie without doing anything!

Something like that!
