34) remember price bands—people are protected from 1 minute market moves! Also—users know _way_ more than any of these people about these markets, ironic to hear the opposite condescendingly said.

37) ohhhh boy is this going to be a few minutes per person of closing statements? If so, that’s a few *hours* worth.

42) people asking whether this model makes economic sense or is the best model. Not really supposed to be the purview, and not usually required for businesses to prove their model is best to be allowed to operate. That’s what economic competition and consumer choice are for!

45) note about capital usage—real time margin reduces the effective risk period, which reduces capital demands

47) re: retail: what if the DCO/DCM has all the standard protections, and CFTC oversight?

49) ok two final thoughts: a) I guess if what we’re doing brings all these people here all day to argue and debate and learn then we’re doing _something_ right b) no chance we’d be here today without the amazing work of Zach, Brian, Julie, and the whole FUSD team <3

50) I know I’ve said this before, but: the CFTC isn’t the world’s fastest acting regulator and our process has been loooong and drawn out, but boy do they know their shit, care about details, and display an approach that today’s partisan climate could learn something from
