I donโt think any Gensler video was put in evidence. Even if it was the SEC would argue that the utility to which Gensler refers was an โeffort of othersโ for the purpose of the Howey test. This wouldnโt make XRP itself a security but could make some Ripple sales to be /1 https://t.co/hWnihjlM1Y

@thebearablebull Yep. If there's a settlement between Ripple & the SEC I'll still be tremendously worried about all of the other coins I hold.

@FilanLaw The ruling on this motion will truly reveal the type of judge in the case. Clearly a I'll-lean-towards-the-fed-gov jurist, does he recognize the bad-faith of the SEC here and adjust his stance or cling to his precept that gov can do no wrong?

@GrahamStephan My brother calls the lottery the "idiot tax".
@elonmusk @RealDanODowd Even if what he were saying was true, what's his point? That technology isn't perfect so no one should try to make it better? No one should invent stuff if it doesn't work perfectly right away? Seems disingenuous.
@HammerToe @Justin_Bons I guess he's whining about XRPL coming to consensus without mining, which of course is used to reach consensus for Bitcoin. Both blockchains must, and do, reach consensus. But some people feel that reaching consensus without mining is original sin. So they tear it down.
@HammerToe @Justin_Bons It's obvious that the network participants of both $BTC & $XRP collectively make decisions about those networks within the confines of the rules set by the code. Participation is voluntary and no one can come in with a hammer and destroy what the network participants want.
@HammerToe @Justin_Bons All forks of BItcoin are actually Bitcoin, just like Bitcoin is Bitcoin. Even though they're not fungible with one another, are completely separate blockchains, literally not called Bitcoin, and largely different community & developers. ๐ Astounding lack of logic.
@MoonLamboio @Justin_Bons He is yet to answer my "which is the real Bitcoin" question, as in order to do so he has to admit that all cryptocurrencies are based on social consensus to some level. Which undermines his own argument.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS #COINBASE IS ALLOWED TO GO PUBLIC AND IS ALSO PUBLICLY COMPLIMENTED BY THE CRYPTO CZAR OF THE SEC, BUT NOW THE SEC SAYS THE RUNWAY IS RUNNING OUT?

Still a bit confused by people in MSM who keep pushing the narrative that @SBF_FTX put up his own money for bail bond today. He could very well still have $100K in his bank account. He canโt use his own funds as a court would never let a suspect use their own funds
@HammerToe @Justin_Bons What people like him are actually advocating for is a system of anarchy. If there is no social consensus among network participants, then what you have is a state of anarchy in which everything goes (No one could tell a participant "no"). This would make any blockchain useless.
@GRDecter I hope the artist of this doesn't do caricatures for a living.
@drea_nub Youโll have to convert that to Fahrenheit for me first ๐
@rippleitinNZ @JoelKatz @SBF_FTX I did not know that was possible. Good to know!
So @SBF_FTX is out on bail, has no restrictions on his use of computers, and follows me on Twitter. Awkward.
The SEC is STILL arguing that the Hinman emails are privileged despite losing that issue about 100 times already. Blows my mind.

@ADingoAteMyXRP @martian2022 @scaruso123 @Ripple @FilanLaw @CryptoLawUS @attorneyjeremy1 @DigPerspectives @digitalassetbuy @MoonLamboio @WorkingMoneyCH A big factor will likely be how long the SEC thinks it will be before new laws are passed to regulate cryptocurrencies.
