The irony of all this, is with a decade long lead, crypto is letting the bankers win. From open source and ideal driven projects, to closed source, VC projects and greed fuelled meme mania. Now the US policy has created easy regs for banks to hold and transfer Bitcoin & stablecoins, ETFs to stake, and stablecoins to be a settlement network. Instead of owning the industry, shortsighted greed pushed us to a place where we’re letting banks recapture the new system we built to replace them, in exchange for a one time wealth transfer. Im glad more people get to access staking. But these next few years will be critical for crypto - to embrace its decentralized and FOSS roots, self police the greed and grift, and push for values over value. Otherwise, you’ve just created faster banks and let the oligarchs retake the system 🤷‍♂️
