Newbie here, but would like to know the opinion of other experienced users/anyone with an opinion (everyone) here

With the recent bans, and news of crypto tightening regulations, some coins (mostly those which are modeled as a security) are beginning to move more into an accredited investor/institutional investor-only ICO.
Do you guys see it as ICOs/blockchain defeating its own purpose by being open only to individuals with the big bucks, a needed measure, or there is way for us to agree on a middle ground?

What country is regulating? I haven't really noticed anything but if the ICO scene does move a to acredited investors then I will probably look for a different coin alternative to the alternatives, I'm not gonna buy stocks from people with 10 million-100million or a billion dollars.
Then the whole market can go F**** itself it will be a wall street game.
Ok granted, governments have mentioned they will regulate, no regulation has been done, except for China's ban. Singapore, South Korea, just to name a few.
But do you think ICOs structured like BCAP/Science blockchain has to have an accredited investor-only offering, while there still exists room for ICOs where tokens are part of the fundraiser's system, to be open to retail investors?
