I'm puzzled, why is it that BTC is not classified as a security? Given the nature of cryptocurrencies and their volatile prices, I would expect them to fall under the umbrella of securities, similar to stocks and bonds. After all, investors purchase BTC with the intention of profiting from its potential appreciation in value. Could you please elaborate on the reasons behind this classification? I'm interested in understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern cryptocurrencies and how they differ from traditional securities. Thank you for your insights.

Ah, Polkadot... quite an intriguing project indeed. But I'm curious, how secure is it really? Given its ambition to connect multiple blockchains, doesn't that expose it to more vulnerabilities? How does Polkadot ensure the safety of transactions and data across its interconnected ecosystem? And what about its consensus mechanism? Is it robust enough to withstand potential attacks? I'd like to hear more about the security measures Polkadot has implemented to safeguard its users and their assets.

Could you possibly explain why Polkadot is no longer considered a security? I've been following the crypto space closely and remember when Polkadot was first introduced, it was often grouped with other securities-like tokens. But lately, I've heard different opinions on this matter. I'm quite curious as to what has changed? Is it due to regulatory clarity, technological advancements, or perhaps a shift in the community's perception? Could you elaborate on the reasons behind this shift, and how it impacts the future of Polkadot within the cryptocurrency and finance ecosystem?
