There is a difference between an IPO for a CryptoCoin and selling shares of a website illegally.

Prove it, show your prospective IPO buyers that are in the US that its legal to buy these.

It's not illegal or legal. Cryptos are not regulated in the US. Websites are regulated though.

Prove it, please, Im interested, but I need proof, that in the USA, that according to SEC & FINcen ( polo is not ), that buying an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of a coin (Taxable property) in the US is legal.

I am just wondering why POLO is being singled out? Do you know that other exchanges are doing the same thing such as Bittrex.com?

Yes I believe ( from what I hear, i dont trade there ) Bittrex has or does the same IPO offerings & is US based

Then why not make a single separate thread that bid warning of this news that you consider such as this. The OP has already pointed out that US Websites are regulated in such a way and not Alternative Currencies such as these. You are asking for proof, in which you are not certain then to back up your claim too and you keep repeating the same post on only 2 IPOs which occurred at POLONIEX.COM. I think its only proper that you do that rather than posting like this, it makes a like a good old FUD and playing around with other Traders' investments.

I would just like to see in text, on a US government website , that buying a coin in its IPO state , from a US based exchange , does not have the potential to imprison me. I dont know everything, but that SEC stuff scares the hell outa me. As I understand it, its applicable, if you could point me in another direction, I'de actually be thankfull, I'm a US resident, and dont want to go to jail over an IPO buy today , tomorrow, or 10 years from now. Toss me a SEC link if ya have one PM is ok too.

Edit: Or fine me.

The thread linked to below has lots of links to stuff about this.

Yea I kno I posted there too..and if SEC considers BTC 'property' & Taxable, any alt is identical by definition..is why im asking these questions.. it SUX alot.. but.. im NOT going go to jail or get fined, for trying to make 5 lousy dollars.. Im just looking for answers & figured the people offering these IPO's would know 1st hand if its safe, with proof.. but.. I dont see any, just a few that say its 'just BTC' thats affected, well.. any alt thats an IPO that is offered for purchace WITH BTC, in its pre-mineable state, must be held under the same rules & regs I would imagine?

For me I am still looking for clear definitions and answers, as everyone else is. Its the used of "IPO" thing to mostly all this newly launched coins. I do recommend to continue the discussion of such topic on the right thread which wast posted a while ago https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637879.msg7119152.0 and not here for the time being. Yincoin/Yangcoin was not launched via "IPO" and Harmony coin has no made formally yet.

Thank you.
