The Blockchain Association Wants to Lobby Washington Over Clearer Regulations

-
A few well-known industry companies have come together to form the Blockchain Association, a group focused on educating Washington on the crypto industry in order to expedite the development of regulations.
While some may feel that regulating a decentralized industry kind of defeats the purpose, it is an important part of paving the way for mass adoption. However, the industry is growing at a rapid and phenomenal pace while clear regulations seem to be taking quite a while to catch up.
Law.com recently reported that some cryptocurrency companies are pushing for speedier resolutions and have formed the Blockchain Association (BA) lobbying group in a bid to do this. These aren’t some new startups, though. Its president is the chief legal officer of Coinbase, Mike Lempres, and the group represents a range of companies including Circle and Protocol Labs.
There are eight members in the group, which also includes Kristin Smith, a former senator’s aid and Overstock blockchain lobbyist currently based in Washington.
Confusion About Regulations
The biggest challenge we face, from a regulatory standpoint, is lack of clarity. The rules aren’t written yet. It leaves companies in a difficult situation. They want to do the right thing but it’s sometimes not clear what the right thing is to do.
Understanding Through Education

This is what disruptive technology is all about. Well-established protocols need to be reviewed and even scrapped to make way for the more fluid and dynamic nature of not only cryptocurrencies but also of evolving technologies as well.
The creation of the group comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has seemingly upped the ante on their crypto crackdown endeavors. They are focused on eradicating fraud in the crypto sector and continue to keep their eye on industry developments.

I saw an article online and it was well articulated about Bitcoin being programmed to pump. I made a video about it. Highlighting the view of the writer. Despite non-stop criticism, obituaries, and competition from altcoins, Bitcoin has undeniable advantages — ensuring that its value will keep rising for decades to come. It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Satoshi Nakamoto, 1/17/2009 Here are the reasons 1.

When the Game is Rigged, you don't have to Play by the Rules

When the game is rigged, you don't have to play by the rules. Since the start of time, powerful empires have risen through history. And the one major prerequisites for glory and power had always been a standard financial system. Be it Ancient Egyptian or Babylonia or even recently Rome, wealth have been the driving force that spurred these empires forward. They could command great armies, buy Calvary and acquire the state of the art technology that gave them an edge in produc tion, industrialization and warfare. Not taking anything away from the industriousness of these empires, a spark that ensured they stayed in power is they knew something other nations didn't. They knew that the game of wealth was rigged and you need not play by the general rules to win. Of course they preached about the real 'rules' of the game but then they played by the rigged rules that ensured their victory. That pattern has been carried into modern empires of America and China.
