Moria v1 - Hashlock Audit

  • Moria has also passed a security audit from Hashlock
  • BCH is maturing as a DeFi industry, catching up to best practices in the rest of the space
  • Published version was v4, does this mean earlier versions caught issues that were corrected?
  • This also generated a press release
  • Will BCH need specific auditors for its innovative tech?

Fresh Regulation - Clarity Act

  • Clarity Act:
    • Has not passed yet. Adds guidelines for (“mature”, CFTC) commodities vs securities (SEC, specific coins not mentioned)
    • “Mature” = no unilateral control, distributed ownership (<20% by issuers), open-source functionality
    • “The bill would define digital commodity as a digital asset whose value is "intrinsically linked" to the use of the blockchain. The term digital commodity would exclude securities, derivatives, and stablecoins”
  • Also: specific protection of right to self-custody digital assets

Fresh Regulation - Anti-CBDC Act

    • (However, CBDCs are being backdoored by stablecoins as per the Genius Act)
    • Some Republicans dissented on Genius Act because it didn’t ban CBDCs
  • EU intending to launch its own stablecoin in October?

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
