In a way, we all have the chance to become venture capitalists in Bitcoin with any small amount we are willing and able to throw in. Usually these kinds of investment opportunities are not available to the "little people" or people like me with very little money to throw in. By the time we get the chance to invest in the best companies, the VC's have already made millions and moved on to the next investment. These VC's are the risk takers. They throw money into companies that lose everything. However, for the few that make it their reward is beyond what we can imagine because most of us do not get those kinds of opportunities.

She gets it - BTC is the first truely public IPO in which we could see the actual price and be a part of.

The government tries to protect investment aficionados such as yourself from losing all of your money, as is already the case for many in this thread.
Not because it cares about you, but because it doesn't want to support you when you come begging for assistance after your money's gone.

Thank you government for "protecting us" from great investment opportunities and only letting the ultra rich, that already have plenty of money, take risks so that they can make even more money. I really appreciate that!

But it is legal for the poor to go to Vegas or buy lottery tickets and gamble it all away. Undecided

Some of us are aware of the risks. We are taking some "risks" but that is part of the freedoms we have a right to as American's I would like to think.

Your investings are a few magnitudes of absurdity loonier than going to Vegas (and expecting to get filthy rich).
