It's been far too easy for scammers to defraud people in this space. Regulation is a good idea but please don't make it so that Crypto is equated to Venture Capital and have crazy minimum limits on the amount you can invest like there is now.

Yeah totally agree with you man, the crypto community is dying to get some good regulation, that is why this SEC activity is necessary. But after all the main reason why those companies are leaving IPO for ICO and choose cryptocurrency is because the regulation of traditional investment is not investor friendly and at the same time it limits the potential earning of the company. And this make the investors leave IPO and move to ICO, and demand company to do the same.
