      I wish I watched this many years ago, but all our journeys are different in this space. What's important is that you made it here, no matter when you read this post or watch this course. What a journey, I'm glad to have taken it with you all. Let's pay it forward 😁

      Millions of people want to understand what a blockchain is, but only tens of thousands of people need it…

      OK, so Coindesk published an article minutes ago offering an explanation why nearly 100% of cryptocurrencies don't want to register with the SEC. Supposedly, registration then restricts the securities trading to exclusively cryptocurrency exchanges that are registered, of which there is now only 1, and it really might not be offering even a single service, yet (Prometheus). That does sound skeptical to me, that the government would actually flip the switch on this industry has been around 15 years and change, and has quite a bit of money moving. My question, is what makes an exchange an exchange? I believe the exchanges negotiate buying and selling by what I believe is called scalping, selling at the bid and buying at the ask. What does it take not to be an exchange? Would all these servers have to be reprogrammed for a hole in the sheet? I'm skeptical. So then, if Gary Gensler is hardnosing an impossible task, what's next?

      Great class, thank you. Like a lot of people, I assume, I watched this in part to find out why Gary Gensler is now so adamant about ALL cryptocurrencies but Bitcoin (At this time, Bitcoin and Ethereum are referred to as commodities, things got worse) registering as securities. There's a lot of knowledge in this class, but I think the answer to my question, it's not that Howey was ripping people off, it was that he could, at least as far as it's been explained. So the securities issue, I think, (1) The generation of millions to billions of dollars with a product that is potentially essentially nothing. (2) A lack of distribution of a cryptocurrency, WHO is it that's holding these tokens and potentially becoming furiously wealthy and to a lesser extent (3) the very high failure rate of new cryptocurrencies. Thank you very much, I didn't get it all
