I'm seeing a lot of confusion. Here are some key takeaways:

  • LBRY Inc is shutting down.
  • LBRY (without the Inc) isn't going anywhere. It's decentralized, they literally can't shut it down.
  • Odysee isn't going anywhere either.
  • LBRY Inc is apparently being shut down for "violating registration provision in securities laws", whatever that means. I think they were handling crypto funds in a way that the SEC argued was illegal, and they lost in court.
