in order to learn more about them, the term to look for is "securities law"

I assume you aren't asking that person to "explain" all of securities law in a HN comment

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the history, did they explicitly say that crypto were not securities?

explicitly saying they are is not necessary for them to be.
