Yesterday's interview
Comments
SEC says "they are watching closely, the crypto and ICO space", interesting statement, not saying that they have a particular plan for crypto future. But also not stating that they have no plan yet. This way gov "covering their asses" once more, in case the whole crypto would go "tits up" so they can say: we warned you all, that this space is unpredictable etc.
As I mentioned in first comment, looks like gov is just waiting. They are just watching how the whole movement is doing. Also delaying important decisions. This is not a positive for people who develope blockchain, crypto, ico projects. As some of devs clearly think: that untill US is having a clear position towards cypros (securities, utility tokens etc...) until then there is great amount of uncertainty there.
On the other hand crypto space is border-less, unregulated, so smart capital easy can move to those countries who are positive towards crypto space: Malta, Switzerland, Gibraltar etc etc. So USA is not shuting down the crypto, SEC is shutting down the US from the innovations.
The saying "SEC is protecting investors" is more than ridiculous. What investors? Rich, accredited, registered investors? Venture Capitalists? When "only smart, and elite investors" can invest in early stages? ICOs and crypto, is when the first time ever, the normal average Joe can invest in almost any company, making ICO, and this way participate in the development of that particular company. And this investment can be made in almost any place on the planet, having smartphone and internet connection. This is where real democracy is implemented into masses.
