unaccredited investors, oh my! When you brush your teeth do you make sure you have government authorization to do so? Also, I hope the toothbrush and the toothpaste were OKed by a government bureaucrat, because thinking for yourself is hard!

- googletazer 9y agoGood luck being the world policeman and shutting down ICOs (most of which copied ethereum's model and are based in Switzerland), and the investors. The SEC is there to ensure bankers and early investors (those who by virtue of large wealth are "accredited" to invest early and make out with most gains) get the largest piece of the pie of any IPO. ICOs liberalize this landscape.
