Steven gives insight on Ethereum and what it was like structuring the utility for ETH. Also, Steven discusses some of the struggles they faced when dealing with the first ICO law. We talked a lot about what the STO law model will look like and why he believes Security Tokens will be extremely important for the ecosystem.
