Regulators are making themselves heard through inane, consumer un-friendly action, and Pat and Amy are here to tell you all about it. Coinbase, Uniswap, market crashes, and more!

Well, the SEC is back at it, enforcing unclear rules on ambiguously liable companies with hazy jurisdiction. What could go wrong? That, plus Lobby Lobster Lobs Loot at Lawmakers (NFT raises money to lobby congress, I know, and I’m sorry about that turn of phrase).

Antoine Dodson is in good company as he and Shark Tanks Kevin O’Leary both get into crypto!

With EIP 1559 on the horizon, Ethereum miners are gearing up for a huge battle, and the dev response is…cool.

Alameda research invests $20mil in REEF only to be caught dumping their tokens days later. “But you never said we were exclusive!” they yell, insisting nothing in the contract forbade buying tokens at discount and immediately selling them on Binance.
