@EdFelten Sure, that’s the goal of the hearing. I guess you weren’t talking to the other panelists outside of the hearing.
@EdFelten @NYDFS Ed, did you try to convince Mark that he is analyzing Bitcoin from an uninformed perspective?
@BitcoinTrust @barrysilbert Sure, you could… or you can just hold bitcoins directly and not pay the fees. :-)

Crypto is here to stay. Mistakes will be made, but from those mistakes we will learn and improve. This is all we can reasonably hope for.
It doesn’t matter if Bitcoin crashes and burns. It’s important that we are at least trying to build a better, fairer financial system.

@RyanScudellari @jbeardsley Risk is not limited to businesses. Consumers take on risk every time they conduct a transaction.
Just realized that I own 20 pairs of footwear. How did this happen?
@RyanScudellari @jbeardsley Free market capitalism: hands off. Let them take risks, let them innovate, let them succeed, let them fail.
@Falkvinge I wouldn’t cite this number seriously. That “survey” was posted on the Bitcoin subreddit and the results are highly biased.
PSA to anyone planning on using @mint’s new @coinbase integration: don’t do it. Coinbase API key allows API users to withdraw your coins.
@mikestable Another catalogue to bookmark http://t.co/1ll5kYqpdM
@ericboggs Also, if you have significant bitcoin holdings, don’t store them with a web wallet. Store locally or offline. I’m happy to help.
@ericboggs The @coinbase API key is Read/Write - it’s not possible to generate a Read-Only key. This means @mint could take your bitcoins!
@ericboggs Oh God, please don’t hook up Coinbase to your Mint account. Seriously, it’s a huge security concern if they have your API key.
@jbeardsley Exactly. “Too big to fail” is not possible in the context of capitalism. Crony capitalism, perhaps…

We must reject regulation that removes risk. We must reject regulation that prevents companies from becoming insolvent from their own doing.
Remove the risk and you kill innovation. You end up supporting existing power structures by removing the risk that they can fail.
Capitalism requires disruptive innovation and risk in order to function. At the end of risk and innovation is production and value creation.
