ICYMI, in order for #DefendCrypto to not just be about Kik, they have separated the funds they put in for their case, donated the addt'l ~2MM to the fund, and gave governance of the fund to @BlockchainAssn to help support other legal Initiatives. link.medium.com/Xq8aQZ3ayZ

"To win the case against Kik, the SEC would restrict innovation and hurt the thousands of “Main Street Investors” that own and use Kin... Precisely the people that it is their mission to protect. Letting the case go... would have provided a better outcome overall." #DefendCrypto

Regulators are catching up to crypto. @shapeshift_io explains how lack of govt clarity has affected them & others in crypto. We also talk about ShapeShift in the early days, & how their platform has evolved into something much more than a crypto exchange. youtu.be/10UhTucQVRQ
