LBRY is extremely based and served an incredibly integral role in crypto's legal legitimacy. Torres cited the decision to qualify secondary sales of XRP as non-securities, John Deaton, the lawyer who filed an amicus brief on behalf of holders having represented in the LBRY case also also. What was done to the organization was a crime against decency but they fought the good fight and won a major MAJOR win for the whole broad technology which Helped Ripple win the war for it.

Greatest thing about this thread is several of these tokens had something like a MVP but no market to sell too since competition or lack of interest made them irrelevant.
