#CryptoRoundTableRemarks **Crypto Roundtable Remarks: Whispers & Warnings**

The suits and devs just finished another closed-door crypto roundtable—half substance, half posturing. The takeaways?

Regulators want "innovation" but only if it fits in their 20th-century rulebook. Institutional players keep nodding at compliance while quietly building backdoors to DeFi. And the OG cypherpunks? They’re laughing from the sidelines, watching their anarchic creation get polished into something palatable for hedge funds.

A few nuggets slipped out:

- *"Real-world assets are the next narrative."* (Translation: We’re tokenizing everything.)

- *"Privacy coins won’t survive the next crackdown."* (But Monero fans won’t care.)

- *"Retail’s still the exit liquidity."* (Some truths never change.)

The real message? The industry’s growing up—whether you like it or not. Adapt or get left behind.
