Just wait til we hit Polo.
Mal, as a prominent non-shitposter in this thread, I encourage you to be more responsible with the Poloniex speculation/hype.
Here are the absolute facts:
1. Poloniex is a Delaware Corporation -- a U.S. company.
2. Poloniex takes regulatory compliance
very seriously. See for example
New Hampshire action in quick response to new law.
3. ICN are, beyond doubt, a
security which is currently not registered with the SEC. ICN are not in any way legal to advertise or sell in the United States.
SEC could force Poloniex to shutdown, or put the hurt on them, for listing unregulated securities. Kraken seems willing to chance it for some reason.
The idea that we'll suddenly see a "ICN now trading on Poloniex!" announcement is pure insanity.
Iconomi put the cart before the horse by offering securities to U.S. buyers before they were registered in the U.S. Now I presume they're paying expensive NY lawyers in an attempt to retcon the whole deal and make it kosher with the SEC. We will see/hear administrative shit with the SEC, and a firm announcement of ICN's legal status in the U.S., before we see ICN listed on Poloniex, if ever. Anybody thinking that ICN will be on Poloniex "soon" or that the announcement will come out of the blue is delusional.
Please do your part to contain the idiocy that infests this thread.
I asked Poloniex where their offices are located and which regulator they report to. They refused to provide that information.
