ChainCatcher news, at the first cryptocurrency industry roundtable held by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), former SEC Cyber Enforcement Office Director John Reed Stark strongly opposed modifying existing securities regulations for digital assets. He stated that the Securities Act of 1933 and 1934 should not make concessions for cryptocurrencies, and digital assets should continue to be regarded as securities."People who buy cryptocurrencies are not collectors; they are investors. The SEC's duty is to protect investors," Stark said. He pointed out that crypto companies hire top law firms globally to try to delay enforcement actions, but they have lost in almost all cases. Stark also claimed that, compared to past technological revolutions like the iPhone, he has not seen any real innovation in digital assets.For a long time, Stark has been a staunch critic of the cryptocurrency industry, previously describing the partnership between the NBA team Dallas Mavericks and the crypto company Voyager as "collaborating with heroin manufacturers." He supports former SEC Chairman Gensler's "enforcement-based regulation" and insists that the crypto industry must comply with existing laws rather than asking the law to make way for it.

Vand Ni shared a similar view, noting that when only a few memes can emerge from a large volume of meme trading, players need time to cultivate their sensitivity and iterative skills. Leo Li believes it is necessary to reduce trading frequency, as high-frequency PVP poses too great a challenge for many ordinary players.On the impact of celebrities like Trump issuing coins on the meme market, Kyle believes it accelerates the attention of the outside market towards memes. As a primary investor, 0xbing feels that figures like Trump attract significant market attention, which has impacted primary investments to some extent. YuYue believes that the continued popularity of memes forces the market to rethink its valuation system, suggesting that memes may have a longer lifespan than most narratives.

ChainCatcher live report, Mask Network founder & CEO Suji Yan, World3 co-founder Ling, SendingNetwork business development head Paulo Carlos, and Metya COO Christy attended the "DeInsight 2024" and participated in a roundtable discussion titled "Social, AIGC and Metaverse," where they conducted an in-depth discussion on popular topics such as ideal social interactions and AIGC.Suji Yan stated that the ideal cyberspace should be free and independent, with each part, each entity, and even each AI agent possessing citizenship and being treated equally. Ling believes it should at least be decentralized and privacy-protecting, while Paulo Carlos emphasized that accessibility must come first.Regarding whether there are significant breakthroughs in this round of Web3 social, the guests had differing opinions. Christy believes that the progress in social interactions has been underestimated, and he looks forward to the impact of AIGC on various aspects of daily socializing, while Paulo Carlos thinks there hasn't been much real innovation, as most are just applications that were previously attempted but failed, now gaining more adoption.On the future trends of social interactions, Suji Yan stressed that it is not good to financialize many aspects of social interactions too early. SocialFi ultimately does not serve humanity, nor does it serve our current version of ourselves or our descendants. It is more like serving a species that will evolve into a hybrid of human and AI in the coming decades. Ling also believes that in the future, AI agents could become users.Remote participation 👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html(Source link)
