2/ Starting right off with the heat, @nic__carter flagged this @circlepay blog post arguing that recent SEC guidance suggests a shift in tone making it dangerous for exchanges like Poloniex to operate in the US.
3/ In a follow up thread, @fredwilson argues that the stakes are a generational loss of the industry as talent and capital flee to Asia to avoid being bogged down by old rules designed for different types of assets.
Long Reads Sunday #47 - New York Blockchain Week recap edition!
After 10+ days and literally hundreds of events, the madness has finally come to an end. Between crazy BTC price swings, M&A intrigue & more, it was a hell of a backdrop for what started to feel like spring.

Looking forward to being back in town for #NYBlockchainWeek! Going out on a limb to say the world doesn’t need another guide to the 100+ events going on, so thought I'd share some tips & food/drink rec's as a native NYer, who's recently moved & rather homesick. Here goes:
TL;DR - New York is for (food) lovers. Less networking, more eating.
Finding your way around Manhattan is easier than most other US cities. It's a simple grid of Streets and Avenues until you hit downtown, but you likely won't be walking around there much. Streets (y-axis) increase in number going north, Avenues (x-asis) increase going west.
