I have been holding btc and alt coins since Q1 2013 and reading about BTC more or less daily since late 2012, I am not a developer, but in the physical world I am good at what i do. I started reading bitcoin securities and bought some shares a couple months ago. I am disgusted by the way the securities community acts in the bitcoin "world". and more over i fear for its future unless asset issuers and holders have a mechanism to seamlessly transfer ownership and allow for price discovery unhindered by bullshit nanny states and super sketchy exchanges. The bitcoin business industry needs the ability to offer shares and IPO's in order to generate funding for projects from within, thereby providing a mechanism to build momentum and weaken the cryptocurrency pair with fiat (I know that's a long way off if ever but i digress). there are projects that I would invest in today that i wont because I am just not prepared to get involved with A) exchanges and B) assets being issued without cryptographic proof of ownership. We need colored coins. Besides throwing coins at it and name dropping "colored coins" everywhere, I'd like to help.
