It depends on the final language, as I've said many times. *If* the final language protects DeFi, then I'm strongly in favor of it passing this year. If it doesn't, I'm not. There are a few remaining language chocies that will be *very* relevant for its impact on DeFi.

@ErikVoorhees

is so much asking DC to reason with him so much as he’s asking you and other influential people to stand with him and fight. Left unchallenged, DC’s gonna do what DC’s gonna do. They won’t give up control or growing in power by mere reason.
