Synopsis

On the podcast, Anthony and James read the tealeaves after William Hinman, head of the division of corporation finance for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said that “current offers and sales of ether are not securities transactions,” and what that could mean for cryptos, including bitcoin, going forward (2:45). Then they shift their attention to the concept of privacy and how lawyers (including James’ wife!) are addressing the issue today, and what that could mean for capital markets firms going forward (10:00). Finally, they wrap things up by giving their World Cup predictions and what that could mean for world peace in the future (23:00).
