This argument makes no sense at all. They never offered to sell the gold. It's more like they offered to sell a share of the gold mining venture. Where the token represents a share of the business.
By that logic we should shut down every company in existence on the basis that there is uncertainty in their future. Especially now with the COVID-19, every airline company's survival is pure speculation; does that mean it should be illegal to buy shares of airline companies now?
I don't care at all about TON at all. But in the context of corporate America, this is completely arbitrary.
- djrogers 6y agoAll of those companies that you’re talking about “Shutting down” are registered with the SEC, and follow SEC rules and guidelines for selling their securities. If telegram had done that with tan, this would not be an issue.
- cryptica 6y agoThe SEC is wrong and so is the notion of an accredited investor - The founding fathers would have been appalled at these ideas; they're twisted beyond what they could possibly have imagined at the time. These laws sound totally anti-constitutional. Doesn't resonate at all with the "Land of the free" idea. People are not free to start certain enterprises. They are not free to invest in certain enterprises. The only thing they are free to do is accept the fiat money which was printed out of thin air by their corporate masters. If you live in the US and you're not an accredited investor, I would recommend that you leave the country ASAP before the government puts chains on you.

Enterprise is, on average, far freer today. > laws sound totally anti-constitutional They’re not. Congress has vast Constitutional powers to regulate interstate commerce. It used these laws to curtail securities fraud in the 1930s. Those are the laws being violated here.
- duxup 6y agoI have trouble believing the "founding fathers" had much of an opinion on anything like the finical systems of today, let alone how we got there. I'd be surprised if they were able to observe things over time if they felt there should be no limitations on something like TON.
