When #Bitcoin ’s market price was low, they wrote literally thousands of articles about our supposed losses.

Now that #Bitcoin ’s market price is way up, if we were to sell, we would make a profit of over 40% (just from the market purchases), and our main source of BTC is now our…

Some overdue thoughts on our case against LBRY: sec.gov/news/statement…

Sitting on a train on my way to visit FOX Business and the great Charles V Payne, for his 2 pm show. I’ve been listening to many decipher the ruling. One thing I can say is confirmation bias is a real thing. We all suffer from it, including me. But I remember very clearly when the…

W for @ripple.

Oh, and XRP is now open for trading.

We said in Dec 2020 that we were on the right side of the law, and will be on the right side of history. Thankful to everyone who helped us get to today’s decision – one that is for all crypto innovation in the US. More to come.

The Ripple case is a monumental development in establishing that a token is separate and distinct from an investment contract it may or may not be part of. Now, let’s make it law. 👇

XRP 👏

A huge win today – as a matter of law - XRP is not a security. Also a matter of law - sales on exchanges are not securities. Sales by executives are not securities. Other XRP distributions – to developers, to charities, to employees are not securities.

Coinbase will re-enable trading for XRP (XRP) on the XRP network. Do not send this asset over other networks or your funds may be lost. Transfers for this asset remain available on @Coinbase & Coinbase Exchange 🛡️ in the regions where trading is supported.

The most important part of this ruling:

“XRP, as a digital token, is not in and of itself a “contract, transaction[,] or scheme” that embodies the Howey requirements of an investment contract.”

This is a now a matter of law (not up for trial.)

I hereby declare July 13th victory day.

The sale of XRP on exchanges is NOT a security. Which means the sales of all cryptos on exchanges are NOT securities and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Gary Gensler have NO jurisdiction over them. This is a watershed moment that relegates the SEC to TradFi and makes it a dinosaur regulator. Buh-bye

“We've actually been benefited by the SEC suing us when they did,” Ripple's Stuart Alderoty says.

“We're at the end of our journey and others are at the beginning of their litigation journey with the SEC.”

Trying something new – some thoughts from me on the events (specifically the release of the Hinman documents) of this week. For me, this has all had a personal bent to it - and felt like it warranted some personal comments.

As I pointed out during a U.S. House Committee on Financial Services hearing this week, members of Congress are elected by and accountable to the American people. We should be the ones deciding the future of regulating digital assets and other emerging technologies like cryptocurrency.

Not unelected bureaucrats.

Cryptocurrencies, led by bitcoin, along with other crypto technologies are a major innovation engine. It is a mistake for the U.S. government to hobble the industry and drive innovation elsewhere. Biden’s proposed 30% tax on cryptocurrency mining is a bad idea. 🧵

In addition to ironing this t-shirt (which republishes code from a comment letter), will I need to register as an exchange before wearing it? 'It depends,' per the SEC's latest release: sec.gov/news/statement…

Gary Gensler U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Council of Institutional Investors You are so full of shit.

1) I'm sorry. That's the biggest thing.

I fucked up, and should have done better.
