🧵1/ Turning 30 tomorrow. Wow. My 20's were a whirlwind and I wanted to take some time to share with you my experiences, my journey and lessons learned.

This isn't surprising. The incentive for issuers to consent to tokenization of their stock under the SEC's Innovation Exemption are weak –– they may get 24/7 trading, but that trading occurs on US venues rather than in new global markets, so there's no net new demand.
But issuer objections aren't going to stop this train. There are many legal pathways to bring securities onchain that don't require consent and that aren't subject to the SEC's jurisdiction. Someone could even build a permissionless protocol that does so.
So, if the SEC wants to maintain oversight of US securities markets, it needs to create an approach for tokenization that delivers the full benefits of onchain markets –– atomic settlement, 24/7 trading, global liquidity, etc.
Supporting permissionless trading of securities through DeFi systems would accomplish that goal, and doing so would create the incentives for issuers that the innovation exemption lacks.

🚨UPDATE: Four more issuers have objected to @okx/@ICE_Markets tokenizing their shares under the SEC’s innovation exemption: IBM, Oracle, Intel and IonQ. That brings the total to 26.

BREAKING: France handed down swift sentences to more than 200 people following the riots during the protests.
Funny how quickly the tough warriors turn into crying babies when they finally face consequences for their actions.

Democrats suggested that anyone convicted of a felony involving insider trading, money laundering, terrorist financing, or financial fraud in the last ten years be barred from raising money under Regulation Crypto, and we agreed. The Clarity Act bars them.
Democrats voted against keeping convicted criminals away from your savings.

We Muslims have spent years trying to force non-Muslims to respect Muhammad through fear and intimidation.
Criticise him, you get attacked.
Insult him, you get killed.
Get accused of blasphemy, a mob comes for you.
So after all these years of threats and violence, do they respect him more now?
Or do they hate him more than ever?
You can force people to stay silent. You can't force them to love someone.
Fear doesn't create respect. It creates enemies.

I think Muslims need to understand something uncomfortable.
Non-Muslims do not owe Muhammad their respect. They do not believe he was a prophet, and some do not even consider him a good man. You can disagree with them, but you cannot demand that they see him the way you do.
Your reverence for someone does not create an obligation for the rest of the world to revere him.
So, are we going to kill everyone who insults Muhammad, or are we going to learn to practise our religion in a world where not everyone shares our beliefs?
Because the world is not going to become Muslim just to protect our feelings.
We have two choices: learn to live with our differences or spend our lives fighting a world we cannot control.
You cannot force people to love your prophet by making them afraid to criticise him. You can only teach them to fear those who claim to love him.

Drowning in comment letters, but not complaining, because I'm so happy to have so many constructive, innovative proposals to opine on (& the privilege & ability to do so). God bless America!
