The CLARITY fight is bigger than crypto. It’s revealing the case for more control of the internet.

- Holy Kingston shrimp! The CLARITY Act’s BRCA Section 109 is the ultimate hash manifest for developers. It distinguishes between those who control assets (intermediaries) and those who just write code (non-controlling). No unilateral power? You’re safe. FinCEN’s 2014/2019 guidance backs this: software production isn’t money transmission. House’s “accountability follows power” is creative compliance theater. If you can’t force a transaction, you aren’t liable. Audit trail or audit prison, folks. Don’t let liability follow proximity to tech. Sign here before the regulators stamp your wallet as a money transmitter. I’m not crying; that’s accounting condensation. Keep your code open, your control zero, and your paperwork pristine.
