Crypto Skeptic SEC chair Gary Gensler might finally be on the way out!
US government representatives appear to be ganging up on old Gary and trying to have him replaced. They’ve accused Gary of being incompetent, abusing his power as chairman, and driving the crypto industry overseas.
Their proposed legislation aims to ‘’fix the ongoing abuse of power and ensure protection that is in the best interest of the market’’.
In their press release, Representatives Davidson and Emmer fired shots at the ‘’hotel california rule’’ for crypto, which provides ‘’NO resolution and NO clarity’’. They even criticized Gensler’s political gamesmanship, calling him a tyrannical chairman.
But there’s more, because SEC commissioner Hester Pierce aka ‘’crypto mom’’ has also objected to Gensler’s rulings in the past. So it appears Gensler is feeling the heat from both the government and within his own agency.

In this week’s episode we speak with Jess Sloss, the instigator of Seed Club, a DAO that builds and invests in community tokens. We talk about the emergence of the social token economy, and how that’s different from the creator economy or the gig economy; the difference is that social tokens and DAOs allow individuals to create wealth rather than create revenue. They’re tools for creators, and importantly, also for creator’ fans, to build something that’s similar to equity in a company, instead of having a salary. Another concept that describes this, Jess says, is the ownership economy. This is the idea that creators and fans can have actual ownership of their communities and platforms. Jess says we’re about to see billion-dollar communities on the internet.
We talk about the difference between personal, creator, brand, and community tokens, and how value accrues to these instruments. Still, we are in the very early days of this new economy, and there aren’t any tried and true recipes; everyone is still figuring it out together.
More broadly though, DAOs and tokens enable the ability to direct resources, Jess says. They allow people all over the world to come together, pool their resources, and leverage those resources in pursuit of something greater than they could achieve separately. Those communities become valuable in their own right and tokens unlock the potential for every member to benefit from that value. The exact, best way to unlock this value, is still an open question, and the opportunity to discover that, is what’s so exciting to Jess and a growing number of creators.

It’s truly Solana Memecoin season and the Solana ecosystem continues to froth - with TVL, trading volumes, and the price of SOL having increased dramatically since last October, when $SOL traded for just $20 per token. Despite a slight pullback yesterday, $SOL reached as high as $209 and the ATH of $259 is not far off.
The Solana network, which is usually fast, cheap, and scalable, has been experiencing congestion and withdrawal issues as degens pile in for the memecoin trading frenzy sending tokens like WIF, BONK, BOME, and SLERF parabolic! But there’s actually a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to the Solana Blockchain and its vibrant ecosystem of dApps, its projects, and its communities, which you can still explore.
So take a deep breath, because today we’re diving deeper into the Solana Ecosystem to understand the hype, the technicals, and the fundamentals in this Beginners guide to Solana in 2024.
