Channel: unknown

[0]
you said uh in that speech that this asset聽 class is rife with fraud scams and abuse聽聽
[6]
and i want to understand exactly exactly what聽 you would like to do welcome back everybody to聽聽
[13]
altcoin daily where you subscribe because you're聽 interested in making money with cryptocurrency聽聽
[19]
and this channel keeps you informed my name's聽 austin in today's video of course i want to聽聽
[24]
update you on the latest news involving altcoins聽 but first our top story of the day sec chairman聽聽
[32]
gary gensler has issued an official warning for聽 cryptocurrency investors in 2021 let me keep you聽聽
[39]
updated in a speech at the aspen security forum聽 on Tuesday Gensler said he agreed with jay clayton聽聽
[46]
his predecessor at the sec who once famously said聽 that in his view every ico i've seen is a security聽聽
[53]
which is most altcoins out there today even聽 ethereum when it first launched had a token sale聽聽
[60]
in a direct quote generally folks buying these聽 tokens are anticipating profits and there's a聽聽
[66]
small group of entrepreneurs and technologists聽 standing up and nurturing the projects i believe聽聽
[73]
we have a crypto market now where many tokens聽 may be unregistered securities without required聽聽
[79]
disclosures or market oversight and gary gensler聽 wants that to change he wants to provide that聽聽
[86]
oversight luckily for us gary gensler went on cnbc聽 this morning and gave a little bit more detail聽聽
[93]
let me play you three clips starting with this聽 first one what does gary say needs to happen next聽聽
[100]
watch this so what has to happen do laws need to聽 change do you have the authorities that you need聽聽
[108]
it's a great question we have robust authorities聽 and in some places it's pretty clear many of聽聽
[114]
these tokens just given how they were issued and聽 sold and so forth come under the securities laws聽聽
[121]
it's a facts and circumstances situation but then聽 on the trading platforms as well as the lending聽聽
[128]
platforms uh many of those are standing astride聽 uh regulation now if they're trading securities聽聽
[137]
they've got to come in and i'm encouraging them to聽 come in and let's talk to them let's have a frank聽聽
[142]
discussion but many of them right now are trying聽 to stay you know dealing with their lawyers and聽聽
[147]
trying to say we're well well we're not going聽 to come in and that doesn't really make good聽聽
[152]
sense for the markets now congress we're going聽 to also work with congress to see if we can fill聽聽
[157]
gaps in the authorities interesting so the two聽 parties the sec is going after are one these聽聽
[164]
icos these token projects and that's nothing new聽 they've been going after these token sales for the聽聽
[170]
last five plus years we expect this but two also聽 these crypto platforms like exchanges that have聽聽
[177]
listed some of these said tokens he wants them to聽 come in he says we'll work with you but you are聽聽
[182]
at fault any time in this video feel free to give聽 me your thoughts down below in the comment section聽聽
[189]
i will play you two more clips then give聽 you my final thoughts but next up what聽聽
[194]
exactly does he want to do with congress聽 he mentioned congress what's the plan there聽聽
[200]
watch this but when you say you want to work聽 with congress and fill in these gaps what聽聽
[205]
are the authorities that you don't think you聽 have that you think you need to have in order聽聽
[210]
to ensure this idea of investor protection i聽 think that the most critical thing is around where聽聽
[217]
we the public can go to trade or we the public聽 might lend this crypto on a platform and if聽聽
[224]
the platform has both securities which many聽 of these tokens are but also commodities on聽聽
[230]
the same platform how to deal with that how to聽 deal with along with their sibling agency one聽聽
[236]
that i was honored to chair the commodity futures聽 trading commission and stitching that a little bit聽聽
[241]
together because some of these platforms have both聽 commodities and securities okay interesting gary聽聽
[249]
gensler wants to work with congress just to get聽 some clarity in crypto-regulation that by itself聽聽
[255]
is fair i think we all want some aspect of that of聽 course like always the devil is in the details on聽聽
[262]
whether this will be bullish or bearish regulation聽 we don't know yet but let's just cut the bs let's聽聽
[269]
end the guessing game gary altcoin daily is a聽 very simple channel you make the statement i聽聽
[276]
will report the news to my audience so when you聽 say some altcoins may be in regulatory trouble聽聽
[283]
which altcoins specifically are you talking聽 about watch this you just described some crypto聽聽
[290]
as securities um others have not um which ones do聽 you think of as securities and which ones do you聽聽
[302]
think of more in either a commodity basket or some聽 other kind of asset basket you know i i andrew i聽聽
[309]
hate for your viewers to uh keep going back to聽 this but it's pretty clear and the supreme court聽聽
[314]
has actually spoken about this many times um if聽 if somebody is raising money selling a token and聽聽
[322]
the buyer buyers is anticipating profits based on聽 the efforts of that group the sponsor the seller聽聽
[329]
that fits into something that's a security and i'm聽 not going to go token by token you can imagine why聽聽
[335]
i wouldn't do that but my predecessor jay clayton聽 who you have won the show often jay said it best聽聽
[342]
about three years ago that he really hadn't seen聽 many tokens that didn't meet that securities test聽聽
[350]
okay so gary doesn't really give us much in my聽 opinion from what we've seen historically in聽聽
[356]
the few instances that this has happened聽 the sec is willing to work with these聽聽
[362]
crypto projects for example they find eos they聽 charged eos as being an unregistered security聽聽
[369]
and they find them a minuscule amount of money聽 compared to what they raised at the ico and that聽聽
[374]
is because eos went to them and said hey let's聽 let's talk about this let's work on this together聽聽
[380]
and of course on the other hand we've seen the sec聽 completely go after and shut down a lot of lower聽聽
[387]
cap crappier altcoin projects and it had a lot to聽 do with the language they used when they did their聽聽
[393]
ico meaning did they promise profits or how did聽 they use the specific language when raising money聽聽
[400]
again for better or for worse it seems the devil聽 is in the details but that brings us to our next聽聽
[405]
obvious question i get that gary can't talk聽 about every altcoin but what's your view on聽聽
[411]
xrp surely you can give us some insight into聽 that well watch this 15 second clip of gary not聽聽
[418]
giving us any insight watch this right i'm looking聽 at a screen we have a screen of cryptocurrencies聽聽
[425]
on the list bitcoin ether would would ripple for聽 for example yeah andrew i know you're going to try聽聽
[431]
that but that's we have we have an enforcement聽 case and i'm going to leave it at that andrew聽聽
[437]
um ouch andrew of cnbc rejected now give me your聽 thoughts down below i do wanna update you on the聽聽
[446]
latest altcoins making news but the last thing聽 i'll say about this is the small silver lining聽聽
[453]
and all of this gary gensler does understand聽 cryptocurrency before he was sec chair he used聽聽
[460]
to teach classes at mit on what is bitcoin what聽 is ethereum why do cryptos potentially have value聽聽
[467]
meaning he's not coming from a place of聽 ignorance when he speaks about cryptocurrencies聽聽
[471]
he is coming from a place of understanding which聽 is very different than other heads of the sec that聽聽
[477]
we've had before now regulation can still ruin no聽 matter how much understanding you have so i will聽聽
[483]
keep digging i will keep searching and i will聽 keep you updated as more information comes out聽聽
[489]
watch this final clip of gary gensler comparing聽 cryptocurrency regulation today to speed limits聽聽
[496]
or automobile regulation back in the day watch聽 this i'm very pro innovation i think it helps聽聽
[504]
the economy grow i think more people get access聽 to finance and access to good medicine access to聽聽
[511]
good jobs i think uh i wouldn't have gone to mit聽 i've been a professor there for three years at the聽聽
[516]
intersection of finance and technology among聽 some of the world's remarkable experts at mit聽聽
[523]
so i count myself as pro innovation but i聽 think that we also need rules of the road聽聽
[529]
automobile came along 100 plus years ago and if聽 we didn't have rules of the road detroit wouldn't聽聽
[534]
have been able to sell those automobiles those聽 good factory jobs wouldn't have been created聽聽
[538]
those good union jobs wouldn't have been created聽 right without rules of the road the people had聽聽
[542]
confidence and trust in the automobiles similarly聽 we need trust in markets and trust and finance聽聽
[550]
this innovation satoshi nakamoto's investing聽 if it's going to meet its potential needs to聽聽
[556]
come within public policy frameworks okay moving聽 forward first piece of altcoin news nba top shot聽聽
[565]
to sell nfts in person at summer league games and聽 this affects all flow altcoin holders as you know聽聽
[573]
nba top shot issues nfts on the flow blockchain聽 it might be the nba off-season but dapper聽聽
[579]
labs has big plans for its nba top shot crypto聽 collectibles platform for the rest of the summer聽聽
[586]
today dapper revealed that the service will offer聽 exclusive nft moments that can only be purchased聽聽
[592]
at nba summer league games in las vegas so yes聽 this will be big awareness for the flow altcoin聽聽
[599]
but also why this is significant this聽 marks the first time that the service聽聽
[604]
which sells nba highlights packaged as聽 a rare trading card like digital moments聽聽
[609]
has created nft collectibles that can only be聽 purchased from a physical location it's also聽聽
[615]
the first time that nba shot moments will be聽 available for the purchase at real nba games聽聽
[621]
even if these are off season games that will聽 primarily feature newly drafted rookies and minor聽聽
[626]
league g-league players but for what it's worth聽 still pretty cool especially if you hold flow the聽聽
[633]
altcoin next piece of news altcoin bsv suffers a聽 51 attack no more than 14 blocks were reorganized聽聽
[643]
so here are the details bsv suffered a 51 attack聽 tuesday morning according to an analyst from the聽聽
[650]
crypto intelligence firm coinmetrics around 11聽 45 am some serious hashing power was unleashed on聽聽
[657]
the network says an analyst from coinmetrics and聽 the intelligence firm later cooperated his report聽聽
[664]
tweeting that its blockchain security monitoring聽 tool farum saw a 14 block reorg of the network聽聽
[670]
for those who don't know what a 51 attack聽 is a 51 attack occurs when malicious miners聽聽
[677]
take control of more than 50 percent of a聽 proof-of-work blockchain the attackers can聽聽
[683]
take advantage of block reorganization a feature聽 meant to clear up instances when two miners have聽聽
[688]
mined the same block so miners mine the same聽 block all the time usually isn't a problem聽聽
[694]
except when you have a weak network and somebody聽 controls over 51 percent broadly speaking when聽聽
[700]
two versions of the same blocks are mined聽 the system defaults to the longest chain聽聽
[705]
by mining faster than the honest miners during a聽 51 attack the assailants can create a longer chain聽聽
[712]
such that the system will render the honest聽 miners blocks invalid so it's fine now but this聽聽
[719]
did happen the price obviously took a dip and聽 we just don't know who did it there is no clear聽聽
[725]
indication of who the attacker was and coinmetrics聽 is still looking into the attacker's chain聽聽
[731]
for traces of double spends targeting exchanges聽 so we don't know we probably won't know and this聽聽
[738]
will probably happen again from what we've seen聽 with ethereum classic they've been 51 attacked聽聽
[743]
several times and for some reason that coin still聽 exists but give me your thoughts let's keep moving聽聽
