Title: Will you buy overstock crypto shares?
Post by: cuddaloreappu on August 02, 2014, 04:21:00 PM
If overstock issues crypto shares, it will be the first company in the world to issue shares in blockchain..

will you buy it just to participate in this historic moment?

The dawn of an age where anyone anywhere in the world can buy shares of a company/project even with very less money and no middle men.

Why not? It seems like a cool idea, its been discussed a few times here in the past. Some members have even theorized this type of exchange, it would be nice to see something like this.

I always think back to when my Grandfather told me about having the opportunity to buy shares in General Electric from a door-door salesman many many years ago, he told me he just sent the salesman on his merry way.

More like a publicity stunt than anything else. They need to comply with SEC before doing something this drastic.

Yeah! Them bastards! Soon, Overstock will be accepting p2p money in lieu of fiat. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if those fuckers issue their own Overstock Coin (OSC), used as a rewards program for those who opt to pay with Bitcoin, et al.

I thought there is some doubt as to whether the SEC will let this happen
Is there any update on the SEC's likely thinking on this?
