Ah, this is a wonderful analysis! Thank you, I've favorited it. :) I'd love to get the decentralized protocols to work together. I work on braid.org, where we want to find standards for decentralized state sync, and would love to

Satoshi's last message was sent on April 26, 2011. Steve Jobs died 6 months later, on Oct 5, 2011. So that all sounds feasible. (I personally think there's zero chance that they are the same person, but it's fun to entertai

But it is not correct that "all the rest" are considered securities. Also, the SEC does not determine what is and is not a security. That is determined in court. Gary Gensler can give guidance on what the SEC will take to court,
