The Most Important Case in Crypto

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-Most-Important-Case-in-Crypto:5Is every single crypto transaction about to be ruled illegal?Yesterday one of the most important hearings in crypto took place, and most people had no idea.Basically, the SEC is suing LBRY Inc. for illegally selling securities -- They argue that LBRY credits, or LBC (the token that makes the entire decentralized LBRY ecosystem run), is a security.Yesterday was a hearing at the US District Court in New Hampshire to determine whether there would be a summary judgment or whether the case would move to trial. But the case is bigger than almost anyone realizes, and will set the precedent for how the ENTIRE INDUSTRY is regulated.Here is what the SEC argued in court:It doesn't matter if 75% of purchases are for utilityIt doesn't matter if the work isn't being done by sellerIt doesn't matter if the seller never uses investment languageAll that matters is where the token price is moves on the open market.This would mean that basically every cryptocurrency is a security.If the SEC wins, every person who works in the industry or has ever bought or sold crypto is guilty of trading illegal securities.Written by Joël Valenzuela and Naomi BrockwellInterview footage from Joël Valenzuela and John DeatonSee John Deaton's full interview with Jeremy Kauffman here:https://odysee.com/@CryptoLawTV:9/sec-v.-lbry-summary-judgement-arguments:9See Joël Valenzuela's response to the hearing for Digital Cash Network here:https://odysee.com/@DigitalCashNetwork:c/LBRYcaseYTS:eSupport the show
