📊Snowden calls for decentralization, criticizes VC influence on Solana 📯
Edward Snowden highlighted the importance of decentralization, sharing concerns about AI-driven surveillance and the influence of venture capitalists on blockchain.
🧑⚖️ Edward Snowden, the privacy advocate and former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, addressed decentralization during his appearance at Near’s Redacted conference in Bangkok, Thailand.
Speaking on topics like cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, Snowden also addressed the impact of venture capital (VC) on blockchain projects, using Solana as an example.
He described Solana as “born in prison” due to its heavy VC funding, suggesting that financial backing can impede a blockchain network’s ability to operate independently.
While he acknowledged Solana’s rapid growth, Snowden expressed concerns that too much ownership has been ceded to investors, though he noted Solana could “become something” in the future.

Crypto Dad’ squashes rumor that he could replace Gensler as SEC chair
Former CFTC Acting Chair Chris Giancarlo said he’s “already cleaned up earlier Gary Gensler mess,” shooting down speculation he’d replace the SEC chair.
Chris Giancarlo, the former United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission chair, refuted rumors that he’s in the mix to take over for Gary Gensler as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“I’ve made clear that I’ve already cleaned up earlier Gary Gensler mess [at the CFTC] and don’t want to have [to] do it again,” Giancarlo, widely known as “Crypto Dad,” said in a Nov. 14.
Giancarlo was a CFTC commissioner between June 2014 and April 2019, joining a few months after Gensler left his four-and-a-half-year tenure as chair of the agency in January 2014. Giancarlo was later appointed as the CFTC’s acting chair from January to August 2017.
“Rumors that I’m interested in some crypto role [at the] US Treasury are also wrong,“ he added.
