If Trump beats Biden because of the anti-crypto army fumbling the election away in swing states, they are going to really have to answer some questions. Why is the Democratic Party embracing big banks and opposing tech, progress, and young voter priorities?

A wallet you control is a “wallet” or “self-custodied wallet”

I know ETH is a commodity. You know ETH is a commodity. The CFTC knows ETH is a commodity. It's time for the SEC to admit that it still knows ETH is a commodity too. No more games. Thank you to Consensys for standing up against the SEC's unlawful expansion of authority.
