Женя Трифонов написал отличную статью про Meta и современное состояние виртуальной реальности. Я рассказывал вам раньше о своём опыте игр в VR, но Женя исследовал этот вопрос всеобъемлюще. Почитайте, очень интересно, независимо от вашего отношения к VR.
А я расскажу вам на эту тему вот что. У Айзека Азимова есть книга «Обнажённое Солнце» — часть цикла романов о детективе и роботе. Автор описывает в ней планету под названием Солярия. На Солярии очень мало людей, и у каждого есть огромный участок земли с домом, а также сотни и тысячи роботов, которые занимаются реализацией всех необходимых человеку потребностей. Общество Солярии построено так, что люди не контактируют друг с другом физически. Каждый живёт в своём доме один, и на сотни километров вокруг других людей нет. Работа и общение у них происходит по супер навороченной голографической связи, которая визуально не отличается от реальности.
Физическое присутствие рядом с другими людьми для солярианцев стало сильным стрессом. Они чувствуют себя в такой обстановке очень плохо вплоть до потери сознания. Для них это буквально кошмар, насилие над собой и ад наяву. Если одному из жителей планеты сказать, что ему нужно с кем-то встретиться лично, он воспримет это как пожелание страданий и смерти. В обществе, как следствие, любое упоминание и предложение физического присутствия стало табуированным и оскорбительным. Это просто что-то неприличное и даже постыдное, о чём могут всерьёз рассуждать только абсолютно невоспитанные люди.
Супруги живут в одном доме, но разделённом на две половины, и физически взаимодействуют только несколько раз за всю жизнь, потому что это неизбежно для зачатия ребёнка. Делают это с плохо скрываемым отвращением, кстати. А выращиванием и воспитанием детей занимаются роботы.
Книга написана в 1956 году. Хорошо, что это вымысел.

⚡️ SEC is changing the rules of the game
At the OECD roundtable, #SEC head Paul Atkins presented a new strategy - Project Crypto
🟡 Onchain capital raising without endless legal barriers
🟡 Allowing the format of "super apps" for trading (trading, staking, lending in one place)
🟡 Most tokens will not be considered securities
🟡 Abandoning "regulation by coercion" in favor of clear and predictable rules
🟡 Emphasizing international cooperation (references to MiCA in Europe)
⚡️⚡️⚡️Unexpected from #SEC: Spot Ethereum ETFs are about to be approved
Exchanges wishing to trade cellular Ethereum ETFs have received an urgent request from the SEC to update Forms 19 b4, Coindesk reports. This may indicate possible approval of applications by Thursday.
However, according to Coindesk, S1 applications also need to be approved to start trading, and SC can consider them indefinitely. One company that spoke with the SEC noted an improvement in the approval process, although it previously believed that the regulator was delaying the deadline.
👌Bloomberg analysts have increased the probability of approval of the spot Ethereum ETF from 25% to 75%. A decision on VanEck is expected on May 23.
Before approving the spot Bitcoin ETF, the regulator asked the exchanges to take similar actions.

🇺🇸 American banks have applied to the #SEC for permission to store #Bitcoin
The ability for banks to store $BTC will immediately allow them to start selling their banking products to all consumers — which in turn can lead to a significant increase in demand 🚀
#SEC backs down — tokens have never been securities 😅
The SEC stated that it had never directly referred to tokens as securities. This follows from a footnote to the regulator's lawsuit against the #Binance exchange.
By using the term "crypto asset securities", the Commission does NOT mean a token as such, but a complete set of contracts, expectations and agreements.
The regulator "regrets" any confusion that may have arisen in connection with this and undertakes not to use it anymore.
The $UNI price plummeted by ~16% (7H) after #SEC warned to sue @Uniswap.

A post for those who like to figure it out 🔩
Yesterday, the US Supreme Court limited the SEC's right to hear cases by "full-time judges" (the procedure has been used for cases of securities fraud and financial penalties since the 2008 crisis). The restriction was introduced by 6 votes to 3, there are dissenters.
☝️ Now, in order to consider the case, the SEC must necessarily apply to the federal courts of first instance with the participation of a jury.
❓Why is this important for the crypt?
Some cases "against cryptocurrencies" were considered by the SEC in a "simplified manner," including "incorrect indication of the fund's assets."
Potentially, this restriction will also apply to the definition of assets in the #ETF for cryptocurrency. After all, the SEC believes that a cryptocurrency ETF is an ETF for securities, while the cryptocurrency itself is a commodity/property.
Look at how everything turned around in this election race! The presidents, in pursuit of the votes of the cryptans, are now gradually beginning to put sticks in the wheels of the regulator - the SEC.
Either this is a "circus with horses", or we are really close to masadopshn as never before…
🔹#SEC closes investigation against #Ethereum
The regulator will no longer bring charges, claiming that the sales of #ETH are securities transactions.
This news gave rise to the crypt.
#BTC made a potential retest back to the Major Support zone as expected. Well, this was due to a Positive tweet from Official X account of #SEC on #ETF. This was a fake news as it dropped when came into highlight. Also, mostly event aligns with Technical most of the time. Now today we've to wait and watch for the news to kick in momentum into the market.
