Gary Gensler finds a new audience for his crypto skepticism: the US Army
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair called crypto "the Wild West" and urged troops not to “get caught up in the FOMO.”

Many people are laser focused on "what happens to *my* 85%" and cannot see the forest for the trees.
Take note that 85% $FLR will be distributed over 36 months regardless of the outcome.
Let's run down some of the pros and cons of FIP 01
[THREAD] https://t.co/wdbX70YqdP
85% of all FLR belonging to Flare entities and team are escrowed and cannot vote. These will be distributed along side the distribution to the community. Foundation related entities may not vote. The foundation must remain neutral. We do not have majority in this vote. #FIP01

I’m heavily restricted in what I can say, re FIP01. For legal reasons, I can’t give an opinion as to why someone might buy or sell FLR. FLR has the utility detailed in the paper. FIP01 changes the distribution method for the reasons laid out in the proposal.

My turn to chime in on the FIP.01 proposal:

Running a business means you need to make you have an idea about the market to be able to adapt.
Flare started of as a great idea, but @HugoPhilion said it himself, they got more hype and publicity than they could hope for. 1/5
When I discussed the distribution model with Hugo (~18 months ago), he admitted on Telegram the strategy intended to lure the largest possible number of exchanges into supporting the airdrop, as it would guarantee exchanges continued trading fees over the course of 3 years.

Some people are confused about my prediction that the Ripple case doesn’t settle until AFTER Judge Torres renders a decision. A settlement could occur after which would eliminate any potential jury trial and also eliminate any potential appeal. https://t.co/KnT6t8lwaa

Best questioning of Gary Gensler yet!

Ripple Strikes Back – SEC WARS – T-shirt
The SEC dropped a lawsuit at the end of 2020 alleging that Ripple sold XRP as an unregistered security. Ripple Strikes Back. Game on Bitchez.
