The SEC provides NO guidance on what is or isn't a security. We have the Howey test to go off of. There is no way to register, no legal way to achieve anything that should be legal in a democratic capitalist society. You just have the threat of an SEC lawsuit on nebulous terms. It's completely fucked up. Another incredibly important point is the $1 million net worth and $200k income based test for becoming an "accredited investor" is racist, classist, sexist, and evil. People should have the right to invest their money how they see fit. If you want people to sign some kind of disclosure, or some kind of term sheet that makes it very clear to a retail investor what they're getting into, fine. But the law as it exists is outrageously undemocratic. In regards to the SEC, a system that was built for 1933 is not even relevant in a world where you can spin up a million new tokens in 10 seconds and deploy to 24/7 worldwide markets in 5 minutes from anywhere. Keeping the 1933 SEC Act in tact in 2023 is like trying to keep Prohibition going even though it's raining whiskey from the sky.
