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!

44) helpful point by DRW—models are not about better/worse, they’re about consumer choice and economic competition

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?

48) reminder: automated margin calls can _reduce_ risk by doing so only when necessary

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

Unfortunately the SEC needs to back away and let the CFTC do it's thing but seems they have trouble checking their pride at the door at this point. We don't need to win over the CFTC right now as much as we need to win over the SEC..tough nut to crack.

50 follow up tweets, giant meetings in DC and all for “crypto futures” You will blink and 6 other exchanges will have launched crypto futures. This could be like single stock futures, never adopted and people stuck to the real asset.
