is that true? I thought most states had age requirements for trading securities, usually the age of majority.
Unless you're not trying to say that "most american teens can own stock".
- arcticbull 7y agoBreaking the law is not a good reason to have a blockchain. If the law is bad it should be revisited. I've got me a theory the law is good here.
- wgerard 7y agoI'm not arguing for a blockchain solution here, fwiw. Just pointing out that people under the age of majority are, in fact, restricted from trading securities (for obvious reasons).
- AaronFriel 7y agoAh, you're probably right there. Okay, people of the age of majority in sub-Saharan Africa can own stock. I did mean "most Americans", not most teenage Americans. I think OP was probably making a point about access to resources and markets, not age related legislation.
- gamblor956 7y agoThe US does not have age limits on stock ownership.
- wgerard 7y agowhile true, most brokerages have age limits on executing transactions (which effectively results in the same thing)
