I was in court with @cz_binance today. Over the last few years, he has come to be a good friend. He is one of the most kind-hearted and genuinely nice people I have ever met. The judge recognised this, and went below even what probation services recommended. He will be ok.

Samuel Johnson once said “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.’ I could not agree more. By this yardstick alone, Mr. Zhao, at least by my measure, is beyond a doubt, a good man.

American regulators are very confused. The SEC is suing Coinbase because it deems crypto as securities; the CFTC is suing Binance because it deems crypto as commodities. Crypto cannot be both. Make up your mind. #SECvsCFTC

The irony of US journalists ‘investigating’ crypto exchanges is the: on the one hand they accuse exchanges of being opaque. On the other hand untrained journalists with an ‘arts’ degree claim to be able to trace flows funds on the blockchain. Imagine doing this with cash!

This is bad logic 1) Any form of speculative trading is a form of gambling. Whether it is stocks, or commodities, or forex. 2) Many things that are traded have no ‘intrinsic value’. Like gold. Or any ‘precious’ metal. Even art. Something has value as long as 2 persons agree

Crypto exchanges are not banks. 1) Don’t leave your investments in there 2) There is no concept of reserves. Exchanges should not be using ANY user funds and withdrawals/trades should be immediate. IT’S AN EXCHANGE.

@burnerphoneuser It’s usually some (minority) Malaysians who get upset. Because they chucked us out in 1965, we have become wealthy and developed and they are still…. Just look at the currencies. Was 1:1 in 1965. Now it’s closer to 1:4. Singaporeans should be more magnanimous.
