#CryptoRoundTableRemarks In the latest roundtable on cryptocurrencies at the SEC, important voices shared their opinions on DeFi, code, and regulation:

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

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

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

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

💬 What is your opinion on these comments? Should DeFi developers be protected like open-source builders — or be held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as finance becomes more code-driven?
