just tell them you have a pistol in your briefs and they don't want this brief message...

but yes for the most part thats true. if anything they need to regulate the exchanges and we the people regulate the regulators. also, keep in mind we have the power to elect our state representatives so we need to be more pro active and not watch from the sidelines. now more than ever we the people have the connectivity and power to take control and not let these greedy self-centered sharks own us. cryptocurrencies are allowing us to take control of another aspect of our life and they hate it... by them i mean the people in the shadows... 

In my state there is one very convenient ATM to withdraw from about 1 hour away. The exchange rate is ridiculous and the daily max is $7,000 dollars. There's more ATM's available to buy bitcoin but only one to "sell" your BTC. The ATM is not all that bad since it gives you the option to also sell your LTC.

Para mi protegiendo al inversionista es una preoridad que deberia ser tomada seriamente por todas las cryptomunedas pero eso no es el caso siempre. En fin, son unos paso extra para protejer al inversionista y si eso se ve como un problema entonces el lavado de dinero o invasion de inpuestos seria la uniqua razon por cual no quieren regulaciones. Afuera del ICO ya no se necesitaria tanta regulacion si el fin del proyecto es
descentralización.

Lo que me interesa mas a mi es, sabiendo lo que dijo la SEC, horita seria el tiempo correcto para hacer un ICO en USA?


 

I would recommend BTC but your returns are not guaranteed due to the volatility of the market. If you want to go the ICO route make sure you can participate. I would be inclined to participate in ICO's that have soft & hard caps and have some sort of protection towards the investors in the case they don't meet such caps. Want to get your feet wet? Try looking for Bounties or Air Drops, great way to participate in ICO's without having to invest, just your time and effort. Many ways to get involved in the crypto world. Best of luck.

This might seem frustrating to you if your only beginning. I've been on both ends of the spectrum lol the way i see it is, if there's no relevant news that goes along with such "pump"  then most likely these whales are trying to shake hands by placing FOMO on buyers and forcing new buyers to buy and they can sell at relatively new highs. Mini pumps is what i call them. At this point you might as HODL and try and keep your loss at a minimum. Best of luck

At the end of the day all ICO's will be regulated as securities by the SEC until proven that the given coin is fully decentralized. I feel like ICO's avoiding US soil are pretty much all conceptual coins and or are trying to scheme investors out of money and for the most part people seem to be getting tired\aware of those type of ICO's. The purchase of Keystone by Coinbase seems to be a move to be able to list more securities but still need regulatory approval. Overall it still seems premature but it never hurts to wonder  

So I know I'm kind of late on this, but I was wondering the other day- based on what the S.E.C ruled on bitcoin and ethereum, does that allow for an ICO to launch on U.S soil? If you use KYC\AML forms, file as a security and work towards zero use of 3rd party companies, can you operate on US soil? Or would handling ICO outside of US still be best option? As far as US residents go, shouldn't participating in ICO's be easier? At the end of the day, IP addresses were being blocked due to the uncertainty from the S.E.C - not the S.E.C banning ICO's.

Any and all help will be highly appreciated. Not expecting legal advise but anyone's input\thoughts on this is welcomed.
Thanks and enjoy your day!
