it is remarkable to see how easily they can get "esteemed" publications like WSJ, Bloomberg and The Economist to dance around like town-cryers, in unison, for the pump 'n dump turning bitcoin into little more than yet another chop stock. Securities fraud is still securities fraud however, no matter how high the corruption runs.
Bitcoin is not some securities.
You'd still be in full control of the ones you own.
21m cap and high network security is the deal, the rest is noise so just let the maniacs do what they always do.
didn't the SEC recently (and CFTC previously) both claim they had some jurisdiction over bitcoin trading in USA? Pretty sure a pump 'n dump is securities fraud.
But, yeah I agree it is a lot of noise in the big scheme ... but still interesting to note how thoroughly corrupt and rotten Wall Street is and now they are here inside bitcoin with their usual scumbag criminality, just shows what total fraudulent joke BitLicense was.
