We all need to realize this is going to be commonplace for crypto and defi the next 20 years when it comes to regulation. It’s the new “hot” thing to regulate like banks in 2009. We need to coordinate properly but also not over react every time. It’s not the end of crypto!

We bought punks and other NFTs bc they're undeniably part of the broader story of digital scarcity, meme economy, collective capitalism, metaverse, and mind-body dissociation.
