LBRY loses to SEC - Implications for crypto industry
LBRY just lost the SEC's summary judgement motion that its offering of LBRY credits breached US securities law.

https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/secvslbrysummaryjudgementruling:a

The Court rejected the utility tokens are not securities argument.

Expect a purge of utility tokens where they were offered in any aspect (even small) as an investment. 

The United States is clearly an anti-crypto jurisdiction - the establishment won't let go of their power easily.

Only completely decentralised blockchains like Bitcoin and Hive will survive.

My recommendation to all US based crypto companies is to move out to more friendly jurisdictions ASAP. 

El Salvador has fixed its crime problem has a legitimate President with massive genuine popularity and its economy is booming. See @edicted's [recent post](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@edicted/current-events-stop-drinking-the-kool-aid).

Also a recent Court decision in Australia on funded class actions has significantly narrowed the scope of Australia's securities laws with application to cryptocurrency. A "managed investment scheme" (equivalent of US "security") is much narrower and thus many crypto projects that would be illegal in the US may be legal in Australia.

what happens now with the LBC tokens? Are those frozen or what? Odysee interface seems to still work.

I think that the LBC tokens will continue to exist but that the company LBRY will have to return all funds raised from sale of the LBC tokens and thus may sink them.

If they haven't decentralised the LBRY blockchain sufficiently and created a sustainable rewards structure for people running nodes then the blockchain will die without the external support the LBRY company was providing.

It may lead to a new decentralised blockchain or they may die. Time will tell.

somehow it is quite open, which level of decentralisation is needed...

They fear what they don't understand.  The US dollar has competition and they don't like that.

RE: LBRY loses to SEC - Implications for crypto industry
It's too bad to hear that this happened. Can't Lbry appeal this decision? I guess it could be costly though.

They can't ban crypto outright, so the tactic is a death by a thousand cuts.

I heard that El Salvador and the BTC Experiment have failed in the general news cycle, meaning it has really worked quite well probably.
