#Amazon is under time pressure ⏱️. The license issued by the US regulatory authorities for the operation of #satellite internet in 2020 requires half of the satellite network to be completed by 📆 July 2026. The rest must be in orbit by July 2029 ⏳. More than 30 additional launches are planned with other companies, such as #Arianespace and #BlueOrigin. Even the competitor #SpaceX is helping out heise.de/en/news/Amazon-launch

People should understand that companies going forward will just issue crypto tokens instead of deal with the securities regulations that have protected investors for a century. There will be no disclosure of things like income, assets, ownership structure, and risks.

The #SEC has already changed the rules so that a company that wants to issue a token to raise money can just say "this is not a security and thus is unregulatable" and if the SEC does not object within 60-90 days then that company is in the clear permanently.

Mark my words, we're going to see #SpaceX, #Tesla, #OpenAI, and all the other opaque private companies burning insane amounts of money issuing tokens in the not to distant future.
