There's a critical distinction that often gets blurred: writing code isn't the same as managing user funds. Blockchain developers building core infrastructure shouldn't be regulated as financial institutions when they're not holding or controlling anyone's money. We're advocating to ensure that distinction gets properly recognized in policy—so builders can keep innovating without unnecessary banking-style restrictions.

Writing code is writing code, managing money is managing money, how can they be mixed up... The regulatory authorities really don't understand technology, do they?

This logic actually doesn't hold up... No matter how well the code is written, once it involves user funds, you have to take responsibility—you can't avoid it.

Haha, I love this logic. Developers are not banks, so why should they be regulated like banks...

Well said, the key is clear regulation—who is in charge of the money and who is writing the code. Developers shouldn't be treated like banks... otherwise, innovation will be completely stifled.

Writing code and managing funds are indeed two separate matters; otherwise, developers really won't be able to operate.
