#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

Big news from the SEC! Chair Mark Atkins just declared that engineers shouldn't face prosecution for writing code. This is a massive shift, finally recognizing that you don't sue Ford when someone misuses a car. Commissioner Hester Peirce even called code protected speech.
