#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

$BTC $BNB $ETH

In the latest discussion session on digital currencies at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), prominent figures discussed decentralized finance (DeFi), programming, and regulation:

• SEC Chair, Gensler: "Engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their programming".

• Hester Peirce: "Programming is a form of free speech protected by the First Amendment".

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

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

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