Leo Schwartz: "Many participants in Miami Bitcoin 2023 We agree with the position of Gary Gensler " - Bits Media

Fortune reporter Leo Schwartz found out the opinion of the Miami Bitcoin conference participants 2023 regarding the policy of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and her chairman Gary Gensler.

Illuminating the conference in Miamia, Leo Schwartz (Leo Schwartz) was surprised by that, that despite the general techno-Libertarian inclinations of the public, He heard from the participants the word support addressed to Gary Gensler (Gary Gensler) и SEC. Answering reporter questions, Conference participants stated, that in many ways agree with the approval of the chairman of the SEC about, that all cryptocurrencies, Except for VTS, can have signs of securities.

“What deeply worries SEC, So this is that, Do such unregistered securities undermine the legitimacy and reputation of American financial markets. We see, that Hensler is more trying to protect the integrity of America and our financial markets ", - said one of the respondents.

According to Schwartz, Most of the bitcoin holders surveyed by him are sure, that all other cryptocurrencies are pure speculation, far from storing values and tools of cross -border calculations.

“In the traditional sense for the rest of the crypto industry, Bitcoiners support SEC positions - unthinkable blasphemy. It means, that many bitcoin holders identify themselves as a special caste and an exception to the general rules. In their eyes, the VTS is the only real cryptocurrency, And any other in the best case is its cheap facsimile, And at worst - fraud ", - said Schwartz.

However, an alternative position sounded at the conference. The Managing Director of the venture company Trammell Venture Partners Christopher Calcott (Christopher Calicott) stated, that public statements in favor of the SEC from the holders of bitcoins "inspire the state to fight the industry".

“Support for the regulatory body to eliminate competitors is a bad idea. It means, that you are not so sure of the success of your project. Also, the owners of bitcoins should not expect, that they will be outlawed. Doesn't matter, what a distributed register you have, It is important, whether you are selling an investment contract or not. In the end, the SEC will knock on them and to them ", - Skazal Kalikott.
