Resumé :  Through the years, technological innovations have improved our markets, including through increased competition, lower barriers to entry and decreased costs for market participants. Distributed ledger and other emerging technologies have the potential to further influence and improve the capital markets and the financial services industry. Businesses, especially smaller businesses without efficient access to traditional capital markets, can be aided by financial technology in raising capital to establish and finance their operations, thereby allowing them to be more competitive both domestically and globally. And these technological innovations can provide investors with new opportunities to offer support and capital to novel concepts and ideas. History, both in the United States and abroad, has proven time and again that these opportunities flourish best when pursued in harmony with our federal securities laws. These laws reflect our tripartite mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly and efficient markets and facilitate capital formation. Being faithful to each part of our mission not in isolation, but collectively, has served us well. Said simply, we should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement, as well as new and innovative techniques for capital raising, but not at the expense of the principles undermining our well-founded and proven approach to protecting investors and markets. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today and for your support of the Commission and its workforce. I stand ready to work with Congress on these issues and look forward to answering your questions.

We are entering a new digital era in world financial markets. As we saw with the development of the Internet, we cannot put the technology genie back in the bottle. Virtual currencies mark a paradigm shift in how we think about payments, traditional financial processes, and engaging in economic activity. Ignoring these developments will not make them go away, nor is it a responsible regulatory response. The evolution of these assets, their volatility, and the interest they attract from a rising global millennial population demand serious examination. With the proper balance of sound policy, regulatory oversight and private sector innovation, new technologies will allow American markets to evolve in responsible ways and continue to grow our economy and increase prosperity. This hearing is an important part of finding that balance.
Super bullish.

c'est la raison fondamentale pour laquelle je reste dans les cryptos au long terme. pas besoin de peser beaucoup plus dans le game mondial qu'apple et mcdonalds réunis pour qu'on fasse un x3. évidemment, y'a des chances que ça se casse la gueule à court terme. mais à long terme, si je vous dis que ça a 20% de chances de peser autant que l'or dans 15 ans, et 1% du FIAT dans 30 ans, vous investissez? moi, oui.
 
ce qu'il se passe au jour le jour, de semaine en semaine, c'est du bruit. c'est dur de le mettre en perspective parfois, mais dans un deux ans si on est à 30 ou 40k stable pour le BTC, le krach d'aujourd'hui sera très simple a rationaliser comme une correction.
 
mon intuition c'est qu'on est au début de quelque chose de grand
