$ETH During the last SEC roundtable on cryptocurrencies, major voices expressed their opinions on 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."

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

• Others argued that decentralization is not without law — it is transparent, predictable, and user-focused.

💬 What is your opinion on these remarks? Should DeFi developers be protected like open-source software creators — or held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as finance becomes increasingly code-focused?
