I think Gensler has a reasonable argument. It is infeasible for the SEC to rule on 16,000 shitcoins that self certify as commodities. This bill is going to make crypto even messier but hopefully will just lead to its demise as everyone realizes it's all a big scam and Bitcoin is the only valuable asset of the lot.

Or the other possibility is let them try to regulate 16,000 self-certified shitcoins.
The SEC shouldn't exist and it doesn't do anything good, so maybe this is the thing to push them into self-destruction and irrelevancy.

Fair point. I do think this will actually benefit Bitcoin in the long term but probably not in the short term.
Crypto has been crying for years about lack of regulatory clarity and now they have a pathway to pretty much do what they want and see if the market actually wants their garbage. I think likely in the long term it pushes the market to realize it is all trash but after much chaos.

Yeah that’s how I see it. You want to give choice, but also block those garbage Ponzi coins

How can they regulate premined shitcoins? They just should be banned from trading. Period. If there’s some utility in any of them, then a market will materialize and maybe then such shitcoin can be considered for regulated trading.

anytime the administrative state is worried about the lack of consumer protections for something people should simply take responsibility for, i cant help but think its probably not the worst bill to ever be put forth.
