A couple of days ago I asked twitter-world what impact the shutdown would have on fintech. Here's what I learned. rollcall.com/news/congress/…

The US dollar infrastructure is the JFK airport of global payments: creaky, slow, a little embarrassing, and in need of multiple upgrades. And yet still central to global commerce.

1/ A few "pet peeves" on language used in DeFi that confuses things & makes the legal / regulatory landscape harder 👇(this is by no means comprehensive & not the only problems, but a few things that come up over & over)

Rebecca Rettig (@rebeccarettig1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

2/ Can we stop using the word "platform"? What's a platform? The protocol + the front end? Just the protocol? IDK. Ppl in CeFi also use this term to refer to their products. "Platform" doesn't have real meaning. If it's DeFi (smart Ks w pre-programmed rules), it's a "protocol".

Rebecca Rettig (@rebeccarettig1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

3/ Let's properly refer to where & how ppl work in DeFi. If you're pd by a company, you work for a dev co. Say that - "I work for X Labs". If you made a proposal & are pd by a DAO, *then* you "do work for a protocol". If you confuse the 2, ur mixing up the decentralization part.

Rebecca Rettig (@rebeccarettig1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

4/ To that end, I heartily recommend (not legal advice!!) that a dev co and a protocol *not* have the same name so that it's easy to distinguish btw the dev co, the protocol, the DAO, a related token, etc.

5/ Also would be great not to use TradFi language for DeFi - hard to say "DeFi is different" if we talk about it in the exact same ways as TradFi tx's. (Even harder to get diff treatment in the legal / reg landscape.) Think 🦆🦆 (as in, DeFi is not)

As for reports that I’m in mix to run U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, I’ve made clear that I’ve already cleaned up earlier Gary Gensler mess CFTC and don’t want to have do it again. DC rumors that I’m interested in some #crypto role Treasury Department are also wrong.
