Your job is to work with the regulators to stop it from happening bro. Why you throw the towel? It doesn’t give any points to people that actually know that good regulations will help the industry to get more adoption.

Yield isn’t the only issue though. There’s a lot wrong with that Bill. I’m surprised there’s not been more discussion in this sub. Guess the whole decentralised, be your own bank ethos is no longer part of the narrative. Few seem to see the irony of a middleman fighting a bill on the issue of yield.
