#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the last SEC roundtable on cryptocurrencies, notable figures spoke about DeFi, code, and regulation:
• SEC Chair Atkins: "Engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their code."
• Hester Peirce: "Code is a protected expression under the First Amendment."
• Eric Vorhees: "Smart contracts are a step improvement compared to human regulators."
• Others argued that decentralization is not lawlessness — it is transparent, predictable, and user-governed.
💬 What is your opinion on these statements? Should DeFi developers be protected as creators of open code — or be held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as finance becomes more code-oriented?
