Your 'investors' are not governments, so it is not the government I am worried about. To the investors HBD does have value, we try to peg it to $1. Hive as a project decides its value.
The rub is that you 'asked' for investments, and you can't, legally.
You can ask for money to an individual, privately, but you can't to a group publicly. Trouble is blockchain keeps a record of this and I am telling you, you can be in trouble for this. Not today, not tomorrow, but maybe someday. And for what? Is it worth it?
