Summary

The SEC's $24m settlement with EOS has been all anyone has been able to talk about for the last day or so. In this episode, we look at the four camps of reactions: the "they got off easy"; "you're all commies"; "it's about the consistency"; and the pragmatists. We also discuss the "Crypto Rating Council" and the general state of the SEC's securities law determinations. Insider baseball with big implications for the evolution of the industry.  Watch: https://www.youtube.com/nathanielwhittemorecrypto

Welcome back to another Crypto Daily 3 at 3. What's going on, guys? It is Tuesday, October 1st. We are officially in the thick of fall and we are officially in the thick of regulatory action, right? So today we're going to talk about kind of one big topic that has a bunch of little different parts of it rather than the traditional

0:21.3

three of three and this is something i'm going to be experimenting with a little bit more when

0:24.8

there's a you know a 24 hour cycle where everyone is talking about one big thing um i want to just

0:50.5

with EOS.

0:51.5

But we're going to start backwards actually a little bit from the first

1:22.9

the SEC is to consider something of security or not.
