> [edit] No, not a point of agreement -- if the SEC is silently accepting a new exception to Howey based on market realities, then what Coinbase is doing isn't a crime.
That's not what they're doing, and yes it is a crime lol. It would work just as well with murder, but you're choosing to look the other way because it's white collar.
> That's the problem with stonewalling: You don't know what the other side actually objects to!
No, that's why I re-stated my assumptions, including any potentially hidden ones, so that you could follow up and respond individually and explain where the gap is. This is a useful tool to resolve conflicts.
> Wait, really? You're saying that turning a blind eye to persistent violation is "just" "bad luck"?
No, I'm saying the wheels of justice turn slow and this shit takes time [edit] and regulators literally have to start somewhere because they have limited resources. So long as it happens within the statute of limitations its explicitly in play.

You're obviously either misreading my point or not interested in understanding. You pick one. Get a judgement. Apply that judgement. This is equal treatment.

No, I limit my edits to the first two to three minutes after I write a comment, to before anyone can reply. If someone can reply I annotate my edits. This is my workflow.
[edit] My point is it's way too soon to know if you're right or I'm right, we must wait and see a year from now, or two years from now. 180 days is nothing.

The whole point of asking the SEC is to know where they fall, since it's unclear whether they've silently accepted stuff like Gemini, or whether there's a substantively different or whether they will prosecute. Assuming that it's a crime is assuming away the core point of contention!

I was referring to the SEC's stonewalling there, not your tactics (though they're similarly unproductive).

Yes, I heard you say that, and I get that you don't see the similarity; the point was that these are substantively the same thing in that they persistently introduce an unevenness in the playing field; the fact that you can ignore that dynamic doesn't mean it's not a flaw your position or that you aren't effectively endorsing such inequality before the law.
>You're obviously either misreading my point or not interested in understanding. You pick one. Get a judgement. Apply that judgement. This is equal treatment.
And then, learn how judgment is spelled if you're going to use it so often and use confidence and intimidation as a substitute for substantiating your position.

No, I saw your comment more than 3 minutes after posting and it had significant un-noted edits, and now you're just mocking me by flooding your comment with [edit].
>My point is it's way too soon to know if you're right or I'm right, we must wait and see a year from now, or two years from now. 180 days is nothing.
No, you've definitely phrased your comments with significantly more (unjustified) confidence than that. See "yes it is a crime lol".

My dude I took your feedback lmao, if you can't assume good faith here this conversations over.
