Events and activities through November

Posted on by

The past 6 months have seen an evolution of insanity to sanity.  Just kidding!

One observation I have seen is that a few of the most vocal coin promoters have finally sat down and spoken with policy makers.  Or rather, they finally started attending events in which policy makers, regulators, and decision makers at institutions speak at.

For those of us who have been attending and participating in regulatory-focused events for several years, the general messaging hasn’t changed that much: laws and regulations around financial market infrastructure and financial instruments exist for legitimately good reasons (e.g., systemic risks can be existential to society).

What has changed is that there are a few new faces from the coin world — most of which have previously pretended or perhaps did not even know that there is parallel world that can be engaged with.

It is still too early to see whether or not this governance education will be helpful in moderating their coin-focused excitement on social media but it seems to be the case that regulators and policy makers are still further ahead in their understanding of the coin world than vice versa.  Maybe next year coin issuers and promoters will finally dive into the PFMIs which have been around since 2012.

Below are some of the activities I was involved and participated in.
