We get it, you're a sovereign individual. That doesn't mean we shouldn't educate people about what exactly they are buying and the risks involved. There is a real risk here that many of these ICO teams get heavily fined and shut down by the SEC, regardless of if you think the SEC existing is a good thing or not. Spreading this knowledge is the right thing to do, trying to get people to turn a blind eye will only make you look more like you're trying to promote a ponzi scheme.

Again, this comment implies no notion of ethics in the existence of the SEC or the tokens. I'm only promoting buyer-awareness.



IMO "a sovereign individual" / "accredited investor" / compulsive gambler / etc. should be opt-in vs. opt-out or rich-only-opt-out


That's actually fair, I haven't invested in any ICOs because I agree most of them are bad investments long term.
