Mic drop from @RepRitchie. These are the critical questions the SEC needs to face head-on.

OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities. We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight. Cryptocurrencies have long been in the crosshairs of the SEC, and companies like @coinbase, @Uniswap, @RobinhoodApp, @krakenfx, and @Consensys have been fighting against the SEC's single-track approach of "regulation by enforcement." But this is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves. NFTs are fundamentally creative goods: art, collectibles, video game items, domain names, event tickets, and more. We should not regulate digital art in the same way we regulate collateralized debt obligations. As we've built OpenSea, we've heard so many stories about the impact of NFTs on people’s lives, including: • Student artists finding full-time careers in selling their digital art • Indie game developers instantly enabling open markets for their in-game items, without having to build marketplaces from scratch • Passionate collectors from different corners of the world joining new communities, all centered around shared digital ownership It would be a terrible outcome if creators stopped making digital art because of regulatory saber-rattling. Take, for example, the suit filed against the SEC by the musician @songadaymann and conceptual artist @brianlfrye, which describes their fear that the sale of their art and music could be deemed unregistered securities offerings. In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear. I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind. Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry. Onwards 🌊⛵️



Dan Bilzerian Calls Out Israel For Denying The Armenian Genocide 🇦🇲 ➖➖➖ Armenian-American Dan Bilzerian calls out Israel for denying the Armenian Genocide and for committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Bilzerian criticized Israel for its denial of the 1915 Armenian Genocide while consistently referencing the Holocaust. He expressed frustration over what he perceives as hypocrisy, drawing attention to the impact of these actions on both the Armenian and Palestinian communities. Dan Bilzerian said: “Israel has committed so many terrorist attacks, they’re stealing land right now they’re operating an apartheid, they're currently committing a genocide on Palestinians” Bilzerian also said: “They constantly refer to the Holocaust, when they’re the biggest Holocaust deniers on the planet they deny the Armenian Holocaust which you know like half of my people got wiped out half of your people got wiped out they deny that, so I don’t think it’s right for them to whine about the Holocaust.” He called out Israel for force-feeding the Holocaust narrative, when “They can’t recognize the Armenian Holocaust, we lost half our population they didn’t lose half their population but yet we have to hear about it.” Bilzerian made these remarks while appearing as a guest on Armenian-Assyrian-American Patrick Bet-David’s PBD Podcast.
