Its fantastic. Also, I watched Senator Warren and Chairman Genslers back and forth during the banking committee hearing this morning (9/14/21). Both parties seem completely out of touch with ordinary Americans and seem very paternalistic and condescending. I dont feel that the SEC is listening to what investors are saying but rather telling us what to do to our detriment. Let them eat cake So to speak. Let us have the ability to gain interest with crypto and programs like Coinbases Lend. Dont force us to accept 0.01% interest rates in ordinary bank accounts. Protect investors not institutions.
