The sole purpose of the strategic reserves of tokens is to make them "too big to fail". Tokenbros correctly guess that their luck with impotent SEC may not last long, it may be 4 years more, or 8 years, or maybe tomorrow some Gabb

The level of fear of the SEC chairman. They were afraid to classify all tokens as securities because BTC and ETH were too big by then, thus created this meaningless distinction. In real life there is no difference except number of users.

If I understand correctly, the Top 1 and 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. issue is how to make that plasma do actual work. So far the designs which boast Q>1 or are close enough, all produce plasma in short burst and no one has invented a way to make tha
