Steemit Justin Sun Battle

Here's a different take on the #steemit takeover issue. If you want decentralization in an existing system of contracts and legal infrastructure, your system needs to be actually, in practicality, trust-less, and users must be responsible for their actions and their consequences. #traderesponsibly #justinsun #decentralization

What is the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), how does it affect the crypto and blockchain space, and where did it come from? I thought to discuss the SEC with you in light of recent events with Hester Pierce's Safe Harbor proposal, Telegram's ongoing court case with the SEC, and past cases where blockchain companies that have used ICOs for fundraising have been indicted for violating securities law.

Let's look at the origins of the SEC, what it actually does, good and bad, and what might be coming in the future now that we have decentralization and self-sovereignty coded in technology rather than law.

Apple vs FBI Privacy

Although Apple may, in principle, want to secure our privacy by not allowing government backdoors for their iCloud servers, they're not doing so, and they're not doing so under the threat of coercion from the FBI. We're just finding out, even though it allegedly happened two years ago!

What can be done?
