#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the latest SEC seminar on cryptocurrency, prominent voices shared their views on DeFi, code, and regulation:

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

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

• Erik Voorhees: "Smart contracts are a leap forward compared to human regulators."

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

💬 What do you think about these remarks? Should DeFi developers be protected like open-source builders — or held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as finance increasingly relies on code?
