100% agree on disclosures, knowledge tests, etc. FWIW I don't know that it necessarily makes sense to be crypto-specific--I think that having, at least, mandates for disclosures and for knowledge-based tests for all FCMs/DCMs facing retail could make sense.

Establishing a household retail investor category could give them more consumer protections. For example, disclosures written in a way that regular people understand or could be used when weighing rules on the use of leverage. twitter.com/CFTCcgr/status…

@FTX_Official and @SBF_FTX: I’ll give you the NFD ftxventures.algo for any amount, as long as you donate 90% to @GiveDirectly and I’ll take 10%. Any amount. But you should know I have 3 little kids to put through college some day. 😂 Put in a good word for me @Scaramucci. 👊

An issue is DAOs and crypto products generally are oriented towards industry familiar people within industry. But those making rules also have low understanding of finance, compound problem.

Or they could just sign a document clarifying that, as an Adult, they understand the risks that come with high leverage derivatives and that their is NO protection? We are all adults, why so complicated?
