#CryptoRoundTableRemarks In the latest crypto SEC roundtable, key voices shared their opinions on DeFi, code, and regulation:

• SEC Chairman Atkins: "Engineers should not be held accountable for how others use their code."

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

• Erik Voorhees: "Smart contracts are a step function improvement over human regulators."

• Others argue that decentralization is not lawless — it is transparent, predictable, and driven by users.

💬 What do you think about these statements? Should DeFi developers be protected like open-source builders — or held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as code-driven finance becomes more prevalent?
