Late to this but it's still going: has anyone mentioned balance sheets? If liabilities promise anything not provided by the assets then someone is on the hook for that promise. Bank supervisors and rating agencies provide assurance in other settings, who's doing crypto risk management?

Mooi gesprek. De hervorming zie ik als een herstructurering van de balansen--dus inspraak moet volgens "corporate governance" (aandeelhoudersdemocratie) en niet "getuigenispolitiek" of referenda. Ik wijs je graag op mijn blog erover
