The rule that only accredited investors, which means people who are already wealthy, are allowed to participate in certain ICOs is senseless imo. It's like saying "YOU'RE NOT WEALTHY YET, SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE WEALTHY." Stupid society, with obsolete rules, we're living in.

Disclaimer: I'm not a US citizen, and I've not read that law

Really? Is there a rule that implies what you have said? Is there any link and proof about your accusations. It is not about being wealthy or poor to invest in ICO as long as you have the resources to invest and buy tokens in ICO then you are always allowed to invest.

He did not say that the requirements to participate ICOs are being wealthy. In our society there is no proper allocation of wealth. We are all in a capitalist economy where in fact, poor will become poorer and rich become more wealthier. Just imagine that you have nothing and you knows a lot in cryptocurrency, what will you put in ICOs? So, be practical. World is full of unequality and to avail wealth you need to sacrifice. Wealthy person are lucky, they are born to become superiors. They can buy what they want and get what they don't have without thinking for a great loss.

Equality cant really be seen as long there are people who are on the top they do really have the advantage on anything since we are talking about ICO investments then they do really have the edge since they are capable on any actions been made according to it.They would really earn even more money since they do risk big unlike on average joe which do only put up small amounts so its normal to think off on what would be the outcome. This is always been part of this sad reality.

But looking at the big picture, they have gained massive profit because they risked a lot of money and if the ICO they invested into fails, then they also have bigger loss. What I mean to say here is that it is only fair for it to be that way they didn't get their money out of thin air right? They worked hard for it and it is up to them how they will accumulate more using the money they already got. Do not put equality on the discussion since in the start all are made equal, it's just that those who descended from people who exerted more effort(I'm referring to their ancestors) and those who live now also works hardr to multiply their wealth.

It happens with start-ups, only accredited investors can have access to it, because of it:


But I don't know if it has any relation with ICO investments. If so, it's a pitty, as Crypto Currency came to give everyone the opportunity to invest, doesn't matter if you have $100 or $1.000.000. Maybe OP should provide some link about it for us.

if we dare to take a big risk in our lives not always the poor will always be poor. you do not complain to be born poor but regret is dead in a poor state. because not always rich will always rich and the poor will always be poor if you want to work hard and try then the road to success will always be wide open.
because the road to success is not just in one place there are still many ways that we can be successful. now depends on each of us whether we dare to take big risks and change our lives for the better / worse or just stay on the spot.
equality will never be seen among humans except in the presence of the creator. because every human being is equal before the creator.

I think we are all have a dreams to become wealthy someday dreams are for everyone we can all become wealthy.If we dont have a wealth maybe we can ingage to the things that are really productive to gain more profit.I believe that we have all the same apperance and brain to think positive that is why i believe that we can all become wealthy if we want with a hard work.

Huh what do you mean? Where's that?

ICO'S system are free to access even you are poor or rich person, as long as you can understand international laguage, many poor people today are educated already, and they can easily understand specific method on how to access different businesses that involves initial coin offering. In this certain business many poor people became a rich because of their knowledge that they used, and even you are a poor person but you have enough strategies and ideas it is not impossible that you will become a rich person. We know that poor people cannot afford to invest large capital but what i mean is the knowledge are the main key to become a successful person.

Some people who are risktaker falls under depression. They underestimated what life is, but how we will become successful if we are not going to risk? Our life is a matter of sacrifices and luck. We do not deserve to become successful if we did not undergo from different failures.
The truth of our society is that, in order to be part of the world you must prove to them that you can reach your dreams.
ICOs is made in a fairly system, everyone of us has the right to be part of it. As long as there is an opportunity, we need to grab it. It is better to know your failures than to quit trying those things. Failures are the first step to success!

Why is that so? I do not completely agree. You may not be rich yet which means you are not rich. Currently I am still poor but I try to work. The future I will be rich is the rich in society.

Why not ... dibitcoin this community given the opportunity to develop life for the better. In this bitcoin do not see rich or poor which is very important and willing to work hard. In addition to the knowledge in the field. With our efforts will be more advanced and life will be more focused.

I don't there is such certain rules and laws regarding the one's you are saying because everybody can be riched even if they are not born to be rich, because if there is a rule for such then are we not allowed to invest on our own, are we not allowed to be promoted for the best things we do at our job, and are we not allowed to established on our own. Basically it's all about putting on a great mindset.

It's not appropriate to stop people from wanting to be wealthy. It's like removing their will to live. There's a saying that, if you were born poor, it wasn't not actually your fault, but the moment that you die still poor, that when it will be your fault.

Whether you are already wealthy or not, everyone deserves to be one. Aa long as they can handle it in a proper way.

Filecoin was such an ICO and there would be more ICOs tailor-made for the rich only, accredited investors. IMO such ICOs no matter how good their project and potential is, it would be a medium for the rich to get richer. Majority of the ICOs have no restrictions, works on the principles of free market, global participation, and decentralization. As far as you do your due diligence and invest into a sound project for either making a short-term profit or into the long-term development of the project, irrespective of wealthy or not, you will still make some profit. It's more like ICOs are making an average person rich.

What kind of saying is that? Everyone is entitle to be rich if given a chance to be wealthy by chance or by mean. If BTC can help one to be wealthy why not? This is a free world, no one can touch you if you want to pursue your dreams and become wealthy. You will the one to work hard anyway so just go on and have the moves to express yourself outside and advertise the good deeds of entering bitcoin world. At the end of the day you will the one to collect and savor the fruits of your hard labor. But if you think of getting wealthy without any work, I think it is another story.

Your social status should never decide for your future. If your still not rich nor wealthy, it doesn't signifies that you are not allowed to be one. Lots of wealthy people start with nothing until they gain everything. Don't let society dictate what you should do.

I think about this, that this is not true that there are some ICOs implement this. If some ICOs do this kind of strategy well they will never become successful. People are worst when they think about this. Because as long as you have money you have the opportunity to invest. Wealthy persons are not only the investors but there are many too. I think this will never be happen since ICOs is open for all of us who wants to invest in it.

What? Where did you got this idea that people who are wealthy are the ones that can join ICO's? There's no such as accredited investors, you don't need any permission or status or you don't need to be verified just to be an "accredited investor". If you are willing to invest and you have the fund then you can invest and you can be labeled as an investor. You are understanding those quotes you mentioned in a wrong manner, anyone who's dreaming and working for his goal is qualified to be a wealthy one.

Rich get richer, yes. Most societies are run in this way. I'm from the UK, and the "Prime Minister" is essentially the CEO of UK PLC. The country is run like a business, even the national health service is being moved into private hands, so that the rich can asset strip and provide the bare minimum of service whilst paying huge dividends to their friends. Everything is geared towards making sure that the rich keep their wealth. Even taxes are optional if you are rich enough.

This is why bitcoin is so important.

Then start an ICO of your own with a new mechanism.

The less money you put in the more stakes you get! Break those obsolete rules of society!

I feel like there is a slight problem with it but I'm pretty sure you are going to fix it if you put your mind to it. Doesn't matter that it hasn't work in all human history, you'll do it!


And what is Bitcoin going to change ? What will be different if you switch from the sterling to BTC ?


You don't understand his frustration!
When rich people gain money from investing, they are damn bastards because they make money.
When rich people lose money in an investment, they are damn stupid bastards because they are losing money.

Is there an ICOS regulation that mentions rich people who can join ..?
I think no, I mean They work hard for it and it's up to them how they will accumulate more money they have.
After all, if the rich, do not want to work. because everything is there
Everyone who works is a sign of the poor, still want to enrich themselves.
If we dare to take a big risk in our lives not always poor will always be poor.
all about the fate of the bet.

I agree. There is no use to discriminate those who are poor. Poor people have the ability to be rich through their hardwork, patience, and sacrifices. Not all rich people are rich because they already born with gold spoon on their mouth. They also start with nothing to have anything. They work on it as we work for our own to have wealth.

That's the reality. Life is not equal. Being a poor you must need to do more than to prove that you are intelligent enough to be in the society of rich people.
In the ico, the rich people are always a priority to the organizers while the poor people can only join if the hard cap is not yet reach.

It's not even a requirement in ico that you have to be wealthy first, i've known many who started in cryptos as poor and yet they become rich. Change your perspective so that you'll attract more positive vibes. Just have to be patient and do your job.

I know for a fact that this is not only limited to the wealthy people and there is nothing that prohibits people from joining this ICO even if they are not. I refuse to believe that only the wealthier can get rich and I think that its really up to us in how we manage pur resources and how we can be able to maximize all that we can earn can dictate whether we can join the upper echelons of society

All the investments programs are not only meant for wealthy people as even the people will not risk all their money in one single time. So we cannot climb wealthy people are getting wealthier due to investment oppertunities.

We need to note here ICOs are also providing opportunity to earn their tokens/coins for free of cost by participating in their different campaigns. We do not need to spend any money to contribute in their ICO in this way. So, how we can call it only wealthy people are getting wealthier. In my opinion it is completely meaningless as I am in real life experiencing this because I'm hating investing into new projects but I love social media campaigns.

I had no idea there has been any serious rule like that. I actually thought the OP was referring to a general life rule. However, our society and nature normally has always given the richer dudes the chance to get even richer, so there is no point dragging this anyway. The rich have the funds to invest more into any opportunity and they obviously will keep getting richer, while we the little guys down there just have to live with that or probably try hard and smart to get up there as well. The world generally is not fair, so you have to make it fair for yourself which is why you just have to GET RICH OR DIE TRYING. Keep working smart and may be you will get there.

With respect to ICOs, I have seen a lot of them having a limit to what you can invest so far, though not that bad for investment compared to the real world, but for a common man who may not have at least $200 to spare and risk, I guess I feel where the OP is coming from, so at the end, the poor ones are left out anyway and like I said, this should even stir the poor ones up the more, to keep persevering, being diligent in their doings, and smart as well, who knows? the opportunity to be wealthy may just surface one day.

Yes I'm not, yet. Soon. Never say no to steps on getting wealthy. Sow now and sooner or later I'll harvest it.

I agree, being wealthy is not required to be rich first, not all people start that have money actually many rich people i know start without nothing, like in bounty if you participate you can earn coin or token, in real life you need to work hard to become a successful  .

Anybody who have money can join ICOs there's no discrimination even thou your the richest or not there's nothing to do with the status in life even the poor one if they have money and want to invest why not.

No, everyone can invest, no matter your financial level. The thing there is that it is difficult for someone who is poor to invest in ICOs when they don’t even have the money. So the rich ones are those who get the opportunity and use it to get more rich. The poor ones just study and learn everything, but they still get anything. It’s just like it is in the world, poor people go to school, but finds it hard to get their favorite job (sometimes they get none) but the rich can get most of the things they want, without even going to school to study for it, just because they have the one thing they call Connection.

No, all people wanted to engage bitcoin are welcome to join bitcoin wether you are wealthy or not as long as you have the knowledge and ideas that you can impart on all the topics given and a chance to join campaign and earn maybe its a good start for you to be able to invest from the salary you get. In reality there is unequal distribution of wealth, mostly the rich have the power on everything specially when it comes to money matter so they become richer and the poor people become poorer. But for me as long there is an opportunity to become wealthy why not work with it harder to reach what we wanted in life.

Trouble is slow ICO's are starting to move in the direction of selling out in private sale as it is easier for them to do this than to sell to many individuals. Really hope the best ICO do not go down this route.

Crypto was build to make the people have the equality with the money, Bitcoin the father of all bitcoin was created to give the people a nice way to hold a currency. if that is your statement, they are disobeying what Satoshi Nakomoto wants to have for the people of the world.

Actually the statement you have said is hard to believe as from what I know and what I have experienced ICOs and even IPOs in the stock market are great ways for a poor person to become a wealthy man. There are no laws or discrimination when it comes to investing as literally anyone even the minors can imvest in everything. Believe me a lot of people became rich because of investing there money on something that appreciates.

All people have freedom to be wealthy, but it's impossible  because  not all  got lucky in this world. Speaking of reality and logically everything has an opposite. Whoever wishes to  become wealthy must learn on how some several people became successful in their  business or career.  Not all rich people have the same power and authority  just like a basketball team not all superstar.

Agree with TS. So much laws in different countries appear that only experiences investors can participate in ICOs. And I'm sure all the politicians, bureacrats are considered as "expereinced investors." It's 100% unfair.

i am joining bitcoin so that i could be wealthy someday so who told that if we are not wealthy we are not allowed to join that is very stupid suggestion,all of us have a chance to be wealthy if we will be a hardworking and have a patience in life so guys just be yourself and be practical for everything you do.

 :o

I do understand this feeling man, As we see many many times ''market is made to take money from the many to give to the few''

Cryptos are the hope to those who didn't manage to get their share on the well established classic market..

maybe you are right, but I think every ico should be supported by people who have a lot of money (rich investor) now I want to ask you if you want to establish a building whether it can with zero fund ?.

I read that also that in the US only accredited investors are allowed to invest in securities and to be an accredited investor you need to hold a certain amount of wealth already, this just eliminates the little people from ever becoming wealthy and probably why society in these countries will always  have the huge divide between rich and poor.

I can't remember where I saw this but it was in relation to the SEC shutting down arisebank, it was a linked document.

nobody is perfect so don't hesitate the people who are not wealthy yet to join here in bitcoin because someday they will be an instant millionaire,this people have a patience in life to do hard working and soon they will be one of the wealthy people in this world.

I understand this point correctly, those of us who are not rich always live in a constant stress. Probably at this moment we are always observing graphs in case the values ​​of altcoins or btc decrease, because we know how this affects our small investment, while they, the rich, if they lose an investment they would not really lose a lot of wealth, they could continue with their lives perfectly.

I do believe this thing is not only happening or can be seen on US alone but for sure on some countries globally do have that kind of restriction for those people who arent capable enough when it comes into engaging to investments. This is always been part of the reality on where rich people or do have financial capability would really have always the edge any among other people. Theres no equality on most cases.

Well, back then it was easy to invest as little as few dollars into ICOs. Check around, things are changing now and most of them are gradually trying to eliminate those with few cash to invest. So it is either you are ready to risk a lot or not.

We cannot fight this, it has been there and everyone can decide to make the decision they want on how they want to run their company, therefore, the poor ones can look for an opportunity to work and earn it, at least which is an opportunity, rather than complaining about how the world is unfair. A lot of people had to work hard and pretty smart before getting to that spot of being wealthy.

People are like this who arent easily give up on this reality will mostly get their goals in the end. Working hard and investing smartly together with your experience and knowledge will really lead you there. Even though there are limitations or blockage because of those people but yet its not the reason for us to completely stop and just let them to give the chance on making money.

My Friend be careful for what you have said because many bitcoiners in this forum was offended for what you have talking about.Just think first before you've written this post to avoid any conflict of the others.Just friendly advice.

In case of crypto currencies, there is nothing like that. All you need to have is your own personal interest along with the required amount of knowledge about different kind of things related to that of crypto currencies. There are several people who are now making some very good amount of money without investing anything into this stuff and all is because of signature campaign and different other campaigns.

Crypto is for everyone who intends to go out of their poverty. Just do whatever you want and let those people say whatever they want to say and just focus on your own goals.

Its not a rule but somehow there are specific ICO that I have also seen which went on that principle. I was literally shocked when I wanted to get into such projects but the minimum limit to invest into the coin was around 5K USD and in some it was around the 10K too. This happened with the well known project like Jibrel Network, IndasHash and also recently with the Insurepal. These guys were like rich bastards who only too the other rich bastards on there ship and went away. But I keep in mind that such project do very well in the later stages because they earn huge money and the spamming chances are reduced a lot. We can always participate them in the later stage of exchanger listing but only disadvantage is that we get the higher purchase prices and that cuts down our profit margin. But yeah there are many ICO like that who needs wealthy people.

Well I think everyone's has an opportunity and wealth is really depend on the person it is not depend on the words that says ordinary people are not allowed to be wealthy because everyone really has a chance to gain huge profit and it depends on them on how they do work with bitcoin in a most profitable way.

Most of the potential developers which have a big reputation and if they are planning to come up with a coin or a token,most of the times they are conducting these crowd funding privately and then allow the public to get into it,that is what happened with BAT and that is what is going to happen with Kotak, there is nothing you can do, so why arguing about it.

Crypto doesn't miraculously take you out of poverty. It's almost funny how a lot posts hint at investing in this or that will make you wealthy, while that's not the case at all. Crypto opens doors, but it's still up to people themselves.

The general thought here is that crypto is some sort of a money tree, but the ironic thing is that these are exactly the people ending up losing badly in this market. Making money requires knowledge and effort, and some luck.

Get rich mentality is destructive. If crypto was a poverty stopper, half the world population would jump into crypto without hesitation. People just need to accept that the majority here won't get rich/wealthy.

If you want to make an attempt to be less fiat dependent, convert a portion of your capital to Bitcoin. Bitcoin's long term potential will allow you to experience growth, and thus not lose purchasing power like is the case with fiat.

It's a first but very important step, because as long as you keep the majority of your savings in fiat, you'll be losing year after year. It's a very easy choice for me, and that's why I have done it a long time ago already.

I disagree, its kind a selfishness, in the world of crypto, everybody is welcome,its for everybody, and everybody deserves to be wealthy as long as they / you work hard for it.

I think this rule will never be require in an ICO rules because every ICO will need every participant and investor to support their projects in order to become talk of the town and to attract more investors. Most ICO sometimes they reduce their CAP and token value to keep it alive therefore i assure you that no ICO will become successful if they impose this wealthy rule in which looks like a descrimination to me.

Well, you can't really participate in ICO's if you don't have money to put into. They also have a minimum amount of btc/eth requirement before you can participate. It's because for the money to jump-start, they need the funds for the project/company to succeed within the time limit. So for those who can't participate in ICOs including me, it's better to join sig campaigns or bitcoin trading.

The silly rules make the gap between the rich and the poor more distant. If you do not invest, you will not fail, and you will not be rich. You may not be rich, but it does not mean you are not allowed to spend. Take risks and try to invest in a project though it does.

I am also with you in this matter because if that was the case Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many other tycoons of Technology world would be still  poor people or mediocre of the society. But we all know how rich these people are. Erik Finman also belonged to an average family but became a millionaire by investing in right place i.e. bitcoin at right time i.e. in the start. Some people say that he was lucky while in my opinion, he was smarter than others.

Well, if you haven't read the law, then i think you must also include your proof as to where you got this information. If you only heard about it from someone, then maybe you didn't hear it right. Maybe that only applies in some cases but not really as it is that only those wealthy person can invest because afterall, everybody can invest.

I as well, in this matter, what I see is that people really do want to get rich fast and doesn't want to work hard to achieve it. But it does not only take people to get rich because they're smart. They've put a lot of effort and work for it to get to the place they're in. In the case of Erik Finman, like what you've said it's possible because that he might have foreseen the real worth of cryptotechnology (Bitcoin) in its very early stage and thought more about the future of this technology as it becomes popular.

I think there's a misconception there. it's just that they have a minimum amount to buy for you to participate in the ICO. Let's say 0.1 ETH or 0.05 BTC, it really depends on the ICO. But look at it like a fundraiser where when you can't reach the specified goal, the project will not be put into realization unless the company has their products used already and it's just the implementation.

Well, now a days most of the projects are raising enough money for developing their product in the market and it completely depends upon the investors how much they want to invest into the ICO because most of the ICO are accepting from 0.1ETH.

I wouldn't go as far as say something like this as I find it really discriminatory and yes, I know these are not words of the person who started this thread. I know some people who have improved their way of life through sheer hard work and determination. Along with it, they were smart in their investments and educated themselves in the process. Also, even if they've improved their way of life, they didn't stop with one investment. Some have as much as 2 or 3. It really depends on what you want and what you do to get it. No one is really doomed to be at the bottom forever. Proper mindset and ample action helps. Will it work always? Probably not. . .but it doesn't mean one has to stop in the midst of a single failure.  :)

It is a just a general rule of the society we are living in. Nothing special as the rich would always keep getting richer. They have the funds, the capability of not mincing anything when they see an opportunity. For example, you have that little signature which you are hoping that when you are paid something from it, one day, it would grow and give you something substantial to at least live well. A rich dude, will not think twice investing something you will never be able to get from that signature and even get more in return later on.

Probably it is a crazy society, it has been like that from the onset, and there is really nothing anyone can do about it but to keep working hard and smart and hoping that the luck of wealth shines on him or her.

The rich have enough to invest and keep making themselves richer, and vice versa. That is the world we are living in. Except for those born into wealth anyway, which some of them do not really know the value, some of them worked their arses way up there, and I am sure they do not have two heads.

I don't agree with what the OP is saying. wealthy people don't get wealthier just because they have a lot of money. It's just that they have access to many resources that average people can't. That being said, that doesn't stop a person to achieve greater things or become wealthy just because they're not wealthy. It really depends on how content they are in life, how much their desire to aim to the top and how they're going to do it.

I think there's a misconception. It doesn't mean that wealth is associated only with rich people. There are rich people getting poor because they don't know how they will handle their money and assets and the same can be said to poor people not doing anything to achieve something. Wealth is only associated to those who has the will to attain financial freedom and those who will do anything to succeed.

I want to become rich, and I was introduced to Bitcoin for my life, I have called for interest from the wealthy and have experience doing business, and they show me how to become a money person, By participating in Bitcoin, I learned a lot of experience, and now I have succeeded

But if we look the bitcoin real picture we will see a lot of people who are not rich but they have gained massive profit in very short time. People will have to risk a lot of many to get profit or to increase the profit. Now it is said to be the best investment because price of bitcoin is getting high. People who are not having any money to invest they will have to use the signature campaign and bounty campaign to earn money and invest.

In some sense, we all need to agree with OP as the whole world is working in the favor of rich people. But honestly I do believe ICOs now a days working with various bounty programs and airdrop too hence we do not need to be wealthy to participate into their ICO. But all people will not have eligibility or time to participate into above programs except buying with ICO.

For those people, this type of anger is completely meaningful and lead to discussions like this. But, what we can do. Our traditional systems are working this way hence ICOs too... :(

In the world of business there is sometimes a discrimination, to think that like what you talk you're not yet rich so why we accept you.? Our company is not sure with you if we have something to gain from you. We cannot void this in some business because they look for their advantage not in disadvantage. This is happen almost in a super big companies. Ofcourse they are looking for big fishes to be their investors and sometimes they made it partners. You should know this. We as not yet rich can participate in ICOs that welcome such simple person that want to invest. All can experience discrimination so chose the ICOs that looking for someone who wants to join.

I dont think that there is a rule on an ICO that only wealthy people's who can participate. I have been participating on many ICO's and they are all accept me even if I'm not reach. I think its not an issue about being wealthy and poor to participate or invest in some ICO, as long as you are qualified to meet and fulfill their task by working hard. Furthermore you can also invest to them as long as you have the resources to qualified.

Non sense , All we need is to help each other those people who are poor we need to let them and feel that they dont feel loose hope . Everythings has a reason and soon they will be the time they can experience to be wealthy. All people are allowed to become part of bitcoin.Whatever status you have in life.

I see it as the same picture. Someone who has $2000 savings and decided to at least invest $500 out of it is also taking a huge risk and in fact more than someone who have a billion dollar and decided to invest probably around $500k in such ICO. You think the billion dollars’ worth business man will feel it if something happens to such ICO negatively ?

Moreover, he would not even invest in something he does not believe in anyway. So at the end, when such ICO gets better, the rich guy will end up having more than the other.

I believe that God has created everyone on equal basis and none is superior to other. Everyone is unique and has some talent that is different from others. So there is no need to be perfect. We just need to be what He made us. The success and prosperity of a person is directly proportional to his efforts, time and passion. Anyone who works hard will always be rewarded. It stands true for crypto currency world also. Bitcoin helps us only if we show some work before.

This is one of the bitter truth that in our society, the richer is getting richer while the one who is poor is getting even poorer. The fact is this is not the justice as everyone has equal rights of having some good living by making more money, thus getting a chance of changing his life in some manner. Everyone is allowed to make more money using his own skillset and personal efforts.

Is there any rule regarding wealth in life even if you're not wealthy enough as long as you have money you can invest on bitcoin also you can trade because anyone have the opportunity to become wealthy in life and anyone can do this in his own effort and capability in achieving it.

Unfair thinking toward others whom do dreaming to be wealthy in the coming. No one is allowed to say or implement that kind to anyone who live with freedom.

We see that people who are not so well off, are related to this bitcoin business are getting benefit from it. Because this is something that does not demand very huge amount to money to get yourself started, we see that the students are also part of this business just as their part time jobs or to know about the crytocurriencies.

You just need to have some basic information about bitcoin which of course is available on internet and then you get started with even very little investments. The point is you don’t need to be already wealthy to get yourself started with bitcoin.

Yes it’s true, and it happens all the time. They can even take advantage of the poor on the society to make themselves more rich than they are. Some poor people who invest in Bitcoin even end up losing their money cause the rich people always invest big money and also withdraw huge sum of money that turns everything upside down.But if you’re very smart and does everything at the right time, you won’t have to suffer this nonsense being caused by the so called big whales.

although you are now succeeded to have bitcoin, I think you still need to do more to get more bitcoin and don't feel satisfied when you already reach one goal. I think you still have another goal that you want to reach and this is why you still need to do another job related to bitcoin. but if you don't have another goal, then maybe you can enjoy what you get from bitcoin with your family.

Your wrong with that, not just wealthy people who can join in an ICOs, if you are hardworking and joining a lot of free site that can get bitcoin, then you can join in many ICOs. Hardworking poor people can be wealthy also if they work hard for it then they can also have their own wealth.

The system is rigged to reflect the needs of the wealthy, because they own all the influence. In a capitalist society today, working 8 hours a day isnt enough to get by if you're earning minimum wage. And that's why we have payday loans that literally preys on the poor for the benefit of the rich. The poor are allowed to participate in ICOs but they're not equipped with equal opportunities to do so.

This saying Youre not wealthy yet, so youre not allowed to be wealthy it is not a motivation to those people around the world who work hard and believed that someday they will experience to become rich. Dont ever believed that quotation it wont help us to become successful and fullfil our dreams in life by means of working with bitcoin.

Yes i'm not wealthy yet but that doesn't mean that i'm not allowed to be wealthy. Yes i'm doing bitcoin to be wealthy because i want to have a great future ahead of me, i want to give my family the best life as i can. Being wealthy doesn't mean i want to be a billionaire i just want better life, better in the way that i can enjoy and have fun for myself and spend a little to.

It's sad to say that the rich really have an upperhand because wealth comes along with power and privilege. They may have some manipulation and this is because of how society works. There's really no easy way to get rich. Everyone has to work hard in order to get to the top and sadly, if you are at the bottom you hardly would have any resources for you to get on top. People who are rich are already on top and have unlimited resources which the people at the bottom do not have access to.

There is nothing surprising in this. After all, there is a simple rule that says that earning $ 100,000 is many times simpler if you have a million than when you have only $ 100

If we think about the price of Bitcoin yes only rich mans can afford it since we know that it's like pennies for them, I think so. If that will be the case well it's not all of us become wealthy but still there are some. But if do think about how we dedicate we are when it comes on getting our dreams through crypto and through the strength that God sustain to us we can do this :)

I believe in the rule of equality, in which poor people has the same right as rich people. Being poor is not a hindrance for being an accredited investor that are allowed to join or participate in certain ICOs as long as he believes in his own capability to join. Besides, there are many other ways to participate in ICOs other than investing or buying tokens.
 

Who said that? If I'm not wealthy person now, their is no chance to become wealthy in coming year? It depends to person if he/she work hard for life, stay humble, kind and generous person then someday they reach the goal to become WEALTHY PERSON.

This stuff works in books for children still in kindergarten and in low budget movies.
In reality, if you're poor and you're generous there is no way you're going to become wealthy, chances are you're going end up penniless.


You see, this is the problem. Poor people, juts like any other people  shouldn't invest more than they afford to lose , and till now with all the crashes those that have hold their coins and not end up panic selling have made a profit.

Besides, your point of view is biased.
You forget that when "rich" people invest money, they also drive the price up which is beneficial to you too.

It is pretty much like that, it works under the assumption that if you have money you can afford to loose it and also that if you have moeny you know about finance. The opposite is also true: If you don´t own 1M USD then you don´t know enough to invest.

I think everyone is clearly forgetting about a point. It does not depend on people but they are poor or not the main thing is they are literate or not and if you are not literate then how are you even here right now it definitely prove that you know how to read and write and how to earn from the online world and when you are planning to invest on something then I don't even care that why there are even rules you have the money go and put that money anywhere you want you are going to only face the rules when you are going to make profit. I still think that rules are not necessary which relates to the wealth of a person.

I really think that since cryptocurrency has came up, and a lot of ICOs started popping up, it really changed how the society works. Before people can invest on projects such as ICOs, only people who are wealthy can invest on stock and large companies. When cryptocurrency boomed, even a normal citizen who has knowledge on cryptocurrency can take part of a great project and earn money with them.

The belief on only rich people are capable of getting richer and the richest makes more money is absurd. This is just an excuse, I've known people who are wealth now that came from a very low key life and lived to a poor location. And if someone's who is not that rich enough wants to join ICOs and he wants to make richest with it, he can do it if he has extensive skills in trading and with other source of income too.

It's not entirely true. Yes, crypto offers more opportunities for those with a smaller initial capital (in terms of investing in a booming coin), but at the end of the day, everyone has an equal amount of opportunities in both crypto and stock markets. It's more a mentality thing that makes people think stock markets are only for wealthy people. Just like right now you don't have to buy the most expensive crypto coins, in the stock market you don't have to buy the most expensive stocks. If you look around, there are several active and volatile stocks available that would have provided you very solid returns. If you avoid the traditional stocks, and just focus on the newer stock generation, you'll be getting great future potential as well, and that even with a low initial capital.

Look at the solid returns of these relatively smaller stocks -- https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4111246-best-performing-stocks-ytd-q3-2017

This rule is one of the stupid rules Ive seen conducting ICOs it only shows that developers who are enforcing this kinds of rules are too greedy I can see some ico like this before and I totally ignore ICOs which has rules like this If some friends asked me if its good to invest I really told them to stay away from it we are in a decentralized world now everybody must have a right to join in ICOs even in a  small amount like $10. 

I am sure that there is another ICO that will give good benefits to us and we don't have to invest in ICO that is not give benefits to us. people could join in any of ICO and they could select the best ICO that they think could give much of profit in the long term and there are no rules that will stop people for joining the ICO. but we still need to know the details about the ICO itself before we decide to join in the ICO project and take the profit after the ICO is finished.

Have you been rejected to an Investment in ICOs? I think there is no rule like that, and I had never seen such. Investing in ICO chooses no one. As long as you have the capital, you can invest in crypto. The main good thing about crypto is your anonimosity. ICOs need investors and they dont reject. Please provide me a link about your claim.

I comprehend this point effectively, those of us who are not rich constantly live in a consistent pressure. Most likely right now we are continually watching diagrams on the off chance that the qualities of altcoins or btc diminish, on the grounds that we know how this influences our little venture, while they, the rich, in the event that they lose a speculation they would not so much lose a ton of riches, they could proceed with their lives flawlessly.

That’s true. The rich ones are used to taking advantage of the poor ones.  Well, nobody wants to be the loser here, even if it means making others lose while you win,  people are ready to take the chances. If you’re  rich, then you’re lucky and I won’t blame you for getting in an early time before others and earning every profit that comes later on. Sometimes we just have to blame these ICOs that first gives the rich dudes an opportunity to buy in first before others. Things should be done equally.

There is no such kind of thing that someone who is not wealthy has no right to be wealthy. In fact, there are number of living examples of so many people who proved this thing and now they are amongst the world’s wealthiest individuals.

The thing you just need to believe in yourself and that you need not to lose hope. Keep on trying as much as you can and then avail every single opportunity which you get.

That was disturbing. But in reality, we live in a society that is comprised of two classes called the rich and the poor with a lot of differences. Some have labeled it as haves and have-nots of the society. We just can't deny the fact there will always be that boundary.
Bitcoin community gives us the prerogative of anonymity. Notwithstanding that boundary, this community allows us to reconstruct our phase of life. It gives us the prospect of finally creating a new chapter in our book. In due time, i will change my status from have-nots to haves.

You are allowed to be wealthy even though you are rich or poor, you are wealthy or not. That is the simple rule, you are allowed in anything as long as it is for good and it will give benefits to you and also to others. Getting into the state of being wealthy is not easy but if you pay a lot of attention and put a lot of effort and focus then you can be wealthy.

I don't think so. Whenever an ICO starts, you can invest on it even with a small amount of money as long as you reach the minimum. Maybe what you were trying to do is to join their team?. If it is, then you need to know if you are qualified and you meet their standards. If its me, I won't even try to be part of the ICO team because of the hustle and commitment. I will invest and hope that everything will be fine. I will do some research before doing this. I want to know where my money is going.

True, we have the freedom and opportunity to be wealthy. All of us had the chance to become wealthy in our own way by doing effort, patience, and determined to achieve it. Therefore, in investing an Ico we have to make sure that everything we invest are legit and can give a profit.

I hate that rule if it is a rule. I may not be born wealthy but someday i will be one. I will work hard to achieve my dreams in life and a better future. Hardwork is the key and always pray for guidance from up above.

so if i was born poor so I'm not allowed to be wealthy, that's so disgusting. It's not my choice if i am the product of not wealthy family, but it's my choice of what i am now to be wealthy or not, I am the one who make my future so if I will work hard in btc and with a strong determination to achieve my goal so I will become wealthy.

Here in our place there are so many people who become wealthy because of cryptocurrency. First they join campaigns. And when they save enough money they start to trade. Because of this they become wealthy. So even if you are not wealthy there is a high chance for you to become wealthy. Because of cryptocurrency.

I think the point is not clear if you are not wealthy right now then the life is not finished if you start now then the time will come when you will appreciate your effort and the best decision which i can gice you is to earn bitcoin by doing online jobs and this way you can true your dreams it is normal when you look for the future in your dreams but the effort for future is necessary and if you are not wealthy right now then utilize your skills and abilities you will be Wealthy in the future.

Cryptocurrencies especially the signature campaigns or bounty campaigns are the key for the people mostly in the different countries to become wealthy because they can just get into the bounty programs and work there and save their earnings and sell it once they are done waiting for the right amount of them to cash out.

NO everyone have the right to become wealthy and no one can tell that words to anyone,just pursue youre dream to become wealthy,and that dream is become true.

I think so too it seems he is butthurt over rejection or something like that because afaik there's no rule in ICOs on who can only invest in their project and if such rules are existing a link should be provided to back up his statements.

There are various ways to earn here in cryptos so dont feel bad if you are not wealthy enough if you cant afford to invest in those project.

Agree. Actually, not all people investing in ICO are wealthy people. Some of them are an average person who is not earning much but took the risk to invest. So I guess you shouldn't talk like that. But yes, not all everyone is allowed to join because there are countries that do not allow their citizens to participate in those. Every one of us can join ICO as long as we have the money to invest in.

 :DI haven't seen that rules since i've join in this crypto community because everyone here is welcome.Most millionaires here was created from different ICO's in this forum.Low rank has already opportunities here and i don't see any reason why this was posted where many people benefited in this forum that changes their life even mine.Opportunities were open for all and theres no exemption if the person will show some interest to learn in crypto business.
Being wealthy is a matter of choice thats why we stick in this forum because we all wanted to become a millionaire  when perfect time comes.

Not being allowed to be wealthy is the wrong term being used here. It's less likely (better term) for you to become wealthy due to the circumstances where you are being raised. It's a fact that in an environment with economical problems (could be state specific), the younger generation will face far more obstacles that it needs to overcome in order to achieve the same. In most cases the major part of the younger generations don't make it through all these obstacles, and resort to other ways to obtain an income, which is the illegal way.

I like your way of thinking, and you're absolutely right. If you are willing to work hard for your future, and not get distracted by all the bad influences within your living environment, you eventually will have a much higher chance of succeeding than the average person living in the same circumstances as yourself. Everything in the end requires hard work and dedication.

everybody deserves to be wealthy, that thing that they say "your not wealthy, so youre not allowed to be wealthy " this kind of saying doesnt exist though we should not believe on it just because if you really want to become wealthy you should have hardwork and make that dream do come true ,what kind of society was that, everyone deserves to become wealthy if only they know what to do.

Well said.Bitcoin has been here for almost 8 years and it is known to everybody here that the opportunities it is giving is open for everyone here not just for the wealthy ones,but also for those people who have nothing but pennyless and the only way they can gain bitcoin is through their brilliant minds.IMO poor people can be wealthy with bitcoin too if they can make use of their bright minds how to make huge profits in bitcoin.Thus making them much more financially stable than those who claim wealthy in the first place.

Yes I agree. Putting limits like minimum investment will not allow less fortunate one's to paticipate in such investment therefore, only from mid level status in the society and up are able to have the ability or chance to make profits with ICO's. That is pretty unfair for us in the lower status but still not a problem as of now because of bounties and airdrops from ICO's where we can invest our time without the possibility to lose money. But still it is unfair for me and I think game like this is only for the wealthy individuals.

I don't find any law or rules that exactly on what you're saying into your quoted post. There's no rules that implemented on what you're trying to say. Wealthy people can be wealthier and poor people can also be wealthy in time. All of us are equal, it is based on your choice if you decided to be poor in your entire life. We invest even if we're poor or rich. We all just need to make our money profitable to earn enough and get enough income that can provide our needs financially.

You're not wealthy yet,  so you're not allowed to be wealthy? What? I believed that if you don't have money you cannot invest, but if the poor person is intelligent and full of knowledge he can use that to be wealthy, if you are poor and die poor it's your fault because you did not use your talent to become wealthy. So even a poor person have the right to be wealthy it's just a matter of strategy and knowledge. We all know that knowledge is power.

i think it depend how much they are selling it if you can afford the value and the limit of their investment you can participate on it. so "YOU'RE NOT WEALTHY YET, SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE WEALTHY." is stupid thinking only, try it so you can prove that not only rich can participate.

We all deserve to be wealthy, how? Maybe by hardwork strategy. I don't think there is a rules to invest as long as you have money and past all the requirements.

They usually say that it is easier to make 10 million once you have 1 million than to make 10.ooo with 1000. I think that the reason is that most people have 1000 so opportunities for small investments are limited. That is, until crypto came.

I believe that everyone has allowed to become wealthy, but the difference is that the wealthy person can afford to put a big capital to gain more profit while the simple person cannot afford to put a big capital and only gain a small amount due to the issue of the capital amount. But everything is depending on how person handle their decision on the field because crypto currency is not really all about the issue of pitting a huge capital to gain also a huge amount. I believe that experience and you're way of thinking or facing the situation is really the key to success here because in crypto timing is the best key to success because we can earn here without an amount of capital involve.

Well, it is clear that if a person is personally engaged in crypto-currency, he has already been given the key to his success. here you can say that the person himself already disposes of his destiny and his capabilities.

No,  who said that if your not wealthy you are not allowed tp be wealthy?  If people work hard for their life so their is no reason that someone stop him/her to become wealthy.  If you have a good heart, kind,  and honest thats the number one to become a wealthy person. 

I think it is not about limiting countries because they are already rich, but it is about the rules that govern them. Many are against bitcoins and they are many in the US. This is one of the rationale of cryptocurrency owners since security is not that good.

Are you sure of that rule? What is your basis? The thing is I don`t care about that rule wealthy or not, I can be wealthy because I am in crypto world.

I assume you are not an US citizen or resident. You are not familiar either with the term accredited investor and the law behind it. I suggest you google a little bit, for your own personal knowledge.

I comprehend this time effectively, those folks World Health Organization don't seem to be wealthy perpetually sleep in an even pressure. presumably at once we tend to area unit frequently observance diagrams on the off likelihood that the qualities of altcoins or btc diminish, on the grounds that we all know however this influences our very little venture, while they, the rich, within the event that they lose a speculation they might not most lose plenty of material resource, they may proceed with their lives cleanly.

If you are in a traditional currency then that would be true, but when you invest in crypto currency the you will have an opportunity to be wealthy. Being sarcastic to any nation will not help us get wealthy but will bring us all down.

There is no law regarding that. Anyone can invest in a certain ICO may he is poor or wealthy. But how could you know that the one investing in your ICO is rich? We are in a crypto world so everything is anonymous unless they will be requiring KYC.

Just do what you want and let the people say whatever they want to say and focus on your own goals. Because Crypto is for everyone who wants to get out of their poverty

You can be an accredited investor without money, just by showing (or stating) you have some qualified studies or financial experience in the domain. So... yeah, not about wealth only.

First of all, try to know that anyone you see on top started from level #1. You don’t just come out and BOOM you’re already starting level #100, nope it’s not possible. So there’s no rule that says that as long as you’re poor, you will remain poor. The reason the poor keep on having problem is because the rich people are very greedy and they never want to do anything in favor of others, they prefer to do things in a way it would favor them, and will also take advantage of the poor guys around them, which is pretty bad.

yes i'm not wealthy yet but i know everyone is free and allowed to have a better life. Being wealthy means you put hardwork and passion to have it.

Me i'm not wealthy i want to be one, it's not bad to be wealthy because you just want to have a better life that you can never imagined to happen, i want that for myself.

only ourselves can change fate. for that as long as we are sure and willing to work, i think that is not impossible. many ico which have a small limit to be invested, which is important we have skill to analyze it

Well some people get more chances and opportunities than others so if ever you get an opportunity, better to waste it. Be diligent and learn how to handle your money. Probably in time you'll be wealthy that way. One thing that separates wealthy people from regular people is they know how to handle money and are not afraid to take risks once an opportunity presents itself

We manage are own life and nobody can tell us what we must do or not. If we want to invest, as long as we have the capital, may it be a small amount or big amount, then we can invest. We have the freedom to do what we want and what we can, long as we are not doing crime. We are the only ones who can decide our fate.

well, that's kinda true that many ICOs minimum amount of investment is kinda high. i thought that thing is to prevent the ICOs from any dumper. but, i think there's a way for us the POOR that want to invest too in their ICOs. You could gather some people that want to invest too, and then after some calculations and fund gathering, you could do the investment. well, there will be a way if you want to do it.

There's something not right in thise post. You should have a valid proof to support what have you said. Many ICOs out there and many forum members are joining it, with just simple rules to follow. But i dont read any rules about being wealthy is a must to join one. If ever you really saw some rules that needed to be wealthy to join that specific ICOs, do you have to show some bank statement just to join in that ICOs? I guess if you have the capital to join eventhough you are not wealthy, everyone is welcome to join. ICOs are promoting their project and they targeting every market they can. Just saying.

Actually, everyone can invest in the market so i do not get why you are saying that only wealthy can be wealthy, there are a lot of people who are working on the corporate world and they all change paths by trading in the market.

Look on the bright, the ICO price is not always the cheapest possible price that a particular token might see.    Often a price can drop below that especially if you are quite a small investor who only wants to scoop a cheap order on the exchanges book after ICO perhaps.

Its the largest investors who might struggle to buy as cheaply because their size is so large they alter the price when buying on most exchanges as speculators notice and start to bid up the price ahead of them.    Make the most of your advantages wherever you can and you should do ok

All people have a chance to be a wealth person, we are now a free of life whatever we do our life no one can manipulate us. As well as you have enough capital to invest go a head proceed your investment anywhere specially in digital currency like BITCOIN no selective person  required there or even in other types of investment no requirements for being a business man or investor.

Yes i purely agree, besides there are also lots of people who came from nothing and they rise to the top making their own names, they were so called from rags to riches. Technically in our society there are also discrimination when it comes to wealth, but it doesn't mean you are no longer able to become wealthy.

We all deserve to be wealthy, if we allow it to happen. Our dream does not end in a blunder, and failures are not the reason to give up. We are the master of our journey, don’t rely your decisions too much upon what everyone is saying or doing, be different and be willing to be persistent on your aspirations. To be wealthy is to know how to assess risks. In terms of finance, reinvest your profits, limit what you borrow, and always remember that even a small amount can turn into a greater wealth. Most of all, knowing what to work on can help you work smarter and harder. Success and wealth can be defined with the impact you have to someone, that's all going to matter at the end of the day, and that's the test of how you lived life.

I think is not right to base what we are because the important is to be hard work and we achieved the wealth we have in proper way. Yes some of us is rich but not all of them are get their in a proper way like some illegal doings.

No, not anymore as we can choose whether or not to invest with our own money or just invest our time through bounties. The reality about this issue in my own opinion is this, wealthy people can invest how much money they can afford to lose unlike those less fortunate people like me that only depends on bounties just to be part of the ICO without the risk of taking out my own money because to be honest it is too hard to invest if we have nothing. If I have to rephrase that, I will make it like " You're not wealthy yet, so you are not allowed to invest." I think it make sense now. What do you think guys?

everyone deserves to the wealthy by using many ways especially if they can do a good work. wealthy is not just for some people which have money, people which don't have money is allowed to be wealthy if they can work to get money. and by collecting money and keep saving and reduce their expenses, I am sure that person can be wealth.

and if it's related with the ICO, I think it doesn't make sense if one person wants to invest his money but he can only invest small money but suddenly, that ICO can get success so he can make more money, let say he can double or even tripple his money. so he decides to invest in other ICO with the same expecting which he can make more money and finally he can increase his money. so in this little example, if he consistent with what he did, I am sure that he can wealthy and he can be a rich person like other people.

If you are not wealthy , you have the right to be wealthy, in a democratic country ,every citizen has the chance to be wealthy , there is no law that prohibit anyone to be rich, so if you are capable to achieve to be wealthy then thats gonns happen in your life, and no one can stop it .

There is no law about this. So it doesn't mean that being wealthy is a requirement to join in ICO's. Everyone has a freedom to become wealthy and nothing can say that no one is allowed  to become waelthy.

I think we are all equal in investing to ICO, whatever your social status as long as you know what your doing no one can dictate us to do a thing

Participating ico requires minimum amount of investment,so i see no reason why youre keep on saying about this,or maybe im missing something here?or isnt it that creating ico is what you're implying?well i dont kniw but im pretty sure theres something wrong about something here

Don't know what country implemented that law but i think it is just unfair. Here in our country, if you are not wealthy but if you strive hard and word hard you have a chance to become wealthy. Everybody are allowed to be wealthy as long as your money came from legal business.

That's totally wrong. You are not rich, but you do not have to be rich. If you work hard, work hard with bitcoin, you will get rich quick. Please hope that you will succeed not to bury your life by poverty.

yes social status doesnt dwcide for your future, dont be arrogant i think they tell it because of the reason that  those who are not wealthy already doesnt have hardwork and dreams in life but rather i think people who says it those who dont believe to those that they cant do it.

Nobody could tell and judged what your future holds, never allow others to stop you from becoming successful. They have their own dreams in life, and so we do too. We are all entitled to have a good future, and it all depends on us how are we gonna make it. I believe crypto is a gateway to success if we just let ourselves believe its potential, and work hard for it, while being patient and positive to face any trials that may come along the way.

That is totally a discrimination of the levels of society and that will not work in this thing because luckily this forums gave us the opportunity to be anonymous and hides our idendities in a usernames. There are bad things in that but the good thing is mo matter what you are you can be wealthy in this because it depends on you if you will work hard and smart just to gain that money. Because if this is true identity other people will always said that especially those rich people who is insecure

Basically yes,everyone of us deserve to be wealthy,we have our own will of life,be just confident,and have positive mindset to all decession we make whatever it takes,never quits if ever we experience failures because failures makes your eagerness to be come successful and more wealthy .

Anybody can invest in bitcoin as long as he wants he can do it and as long as he have the money because there's no rule that forbid someone to invest if he is not wealthy enough.

This is our insulting law in the U.S. I have not seen it applied to ICO's, that's kinda funny. To be a "qualified investor" you must have a million dollars and be able to show that you will likely make some huge amount within a year. It implies that even if you had an advanced degree in economics you should be kept from trading because you are too poor to make a good choice. However any rich person literate enough to sign a contract is surely wise enough to be an investor.   

Crowd investing is attempting to address this, however the Power want's the little man working at the factory. It's your job to make money for the investors, not to be an investor.

I think it is opposite to the advocacy of the USA, which is freedom. Everyone must be fair wealthy or not, black or white, man or woman. So I do not think that it is true. Maybe all is entitled to join ICOs.

Everyone can start without a good amount of capital because this forum is helping different people who wants to earn cryptocurrency, you can always work on bounty campaigns to earn their tokens at the end of the sale in the market.

I think that your opinion is very pessimistic. Don't say so categorically. I think that every person who can set right goals is able to become wealthy. If you spend a lot of efforts and be patient then everything will be fine

All people are allowed to participate in an ICO. Not only those people who are wealthy are allowed. ICO's are for everybody. I have some friends here that improve their lives because they join ICO's.

if not yet rich, it has not got rich permission, but fate says change, all will change everything poor can become rich, kayapun can be poor it all because fate is decisive.

That's great for them
But in all my time here I've seen several big ico's that explicitly said they don't want small investors, or they have requirements of a minimum of 1 million etc. Something the regular people obviously can't afford.

Discrimination is always there ,wealthy people will think that the average one don't have the right to be wealthy but it is up to us if we will be affected and believe what they said or what there rules is. Everybody has the right to get rich even what status you belong, just never fear to take the risk and work smart with determination to reach your goals.

Reason why people don’t become wealthy is it never occurs to them that it is possible for them.  And of course, if it never occurs to them, then they never take any of the steps necessary to make it a reality.

Rich countries are not interested in everyone being an investor.
Therefore, they do not like cryptocurrencies and do not rush to legalize them.

Having a short of income does not mean that you will not be able to earn cryptocurrency, there are still bounty campaigns where you can join in order to earn altcoins or different types of cryptocurrency.

it is true that if not allowed to be rich it is not yet rich, although trying something with hard work if not permitted rich then it will not become rich. The important thing is we have the will to try.

I don't think only those "wealthy" investors are allowed to invest in ICO's, instead for as long as you have the money to invest then you are allowed to invest on that token. But there is I think an amount that you can or allowed to invest, like there is a minimum amount you can invest on that token.

It seems that the term "qualified investor" is not a misnomer here. You have to be qualified to invest in certain instruments. I assure you that in other countries there are similar laws and restrictions. And as I said, that division mostly refers to the type of an asset, meaning there are assets where no entry for common people is allowed, even if you have an advanced degree in economics. It depends not so much on how wealthy you are, though it is a factor too, but rather on how risky an asset is. People are quick to jump at erroneous conclusions without first coming to know the particulars and specifics.

To ensure future wealth, you must equally work smart. One way he suggests working smart is investing your money in the cripto market or a retirement fund that is, taking advantage of  compound interest so that your money earns money.

This is all about the inequality going on in our society where the rich keep getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The rich cannot entrust the poor with large sum of money unless you are in their clique...

Well said, think I agree with this on the basis that everyone wants to know what will happen next in the world but not everyone is open to the truth and possibly how it might not benefit them personally.  Just the power of knowing or having the correct anticipation and imagination possible growth in the world, this means alot especially in investment or even just trading.

We want knowledge but also humans can oppose truth because its alot to take in.   The truth is all of us here could have bought bitcoin five years ago and actually I was here five years ago but I failed to have enough optimism or foresight to save more of my Bitcoin.

I saved a tiny bit but if I had more belief and maybe done more homework I might have saved enough by now to buy a house or just be generally more involved with crypto and better off .  That would have been cool, can I correct my mistakes now and be more open to growth and have the right attitude to risk vs reward?

Only ourselves can prove our worth and nobody could predict what our future will be. Each of us has our own principles, and nobody can prevent us from becoming wealthy and in achieving our dreams in life. We are shaped by our good and bad experiences in life. This underestimating headline statement is an awakening call to strive more in life and prove those people wrong aboutpatient their judgement on us. Listen to their judgement and learn from it, but don't let it hinder you from believing in yourself. Nothing is impossible in life if we let faith and hope rise above all despite intervening fear and uncertainties.

agree, no one can stop anybody if he is going to become wealthy.If he work hard,then it is his reward.It is true also that there are people who are poor at the beggining but smart enough and work hard to improve their living who become wealthy.

There are many ICOs which do not have that rules but where many people can invest and can take part in that ICO so if anyone will invest in that ICO which is for everyone and where they will earn a profit then they will also be a part of the wealthy people and they will then also be one day be able to participate in any ICO. and if not then the remaining ICOs are enough to become a wealthy person and then to start any business and do not care for those ICO which allow only accredited investors.

but we are not much faster than rich people who can make money with their big capital, poor people just need to work hard and save on expenses and collect some of their income, then invest in ico that can potentially double their money, but like that you know not all ico can be trusted to be an investment place, sometimes we have to be careful in choosing it so it can avoid the things that are not desired

In cryptocurrency there is no difference between poor and rich.
Here all have the same opportunity to achieve their own goals.
Maybe the difference is the knowledge and experience in each member.

We have own law in every country but I think its not good that we look for wealth only. In my country we freedom so it's up to you what will happen to your life if you want to be wealthy or not. In crypto all people are allowed to participate  in any investment it's up to the people how to manage it.

Why can not I be rich when I'm not rich yet? I'm not wealthy, it's a stepping stone for me to grow and become richer, it's my decision, everyone has the right to make a fortune. and become richer

I don't agree with your idea, it does not bring a sense. Their is no rule about being indulge in this kind of activity. Being wealthy well you are lucky enough but if you are not wealthy you have a big chances that you can be IN into bitcoin. It is up to you, their is no discrimination being involved in these particular business. You are only the discriminator. You will be rich because of bitcoin it means you are lucky enough.

perseverance and patience can also turn a person into a rich person. does not mean the poor do not have the opportunity to become rich.

There is a famous quotation that I wanted to add up here that if you are born poor, that isn’t your mistake, but if you die poor, that is absolutely your mistake. We can earn anything on this world because human is so powerful. We can go inside the earth, flow over the earth, goes in space and anything can be done. But if someone says he is not wealthy so he may not be wealthy anymore, that is absolutely wrong.

Bitcoin talk is best way to get money and earn profit, as it will not ask you to invest your money, if you are well skilled and you have a lot of knowledge then you can earn money for sure. Here you will have to spend your time for making money and u can get profit by sharing your knowledge and skills making daily posting about bitcoin without spending your money.

I'd try to search your question in bounty ICOs but I didn't see or read that rule. But any way I do not believe that only wealthy people who are the right to participate in a certain ICOs. I think there is no discrimination involved her  as long as you can accommodate your responsiblility as a real investor no matter how Low your living status  as long as you have a strategy and skills in handling this kind of investment then you can have the right to join the ICOs you have choosen.

I agree. This rule is nonsensical. I cannot participate in good ICOs like blockstack and filecoin bcz I am not rich enough. I knw this rule is out of USA law and ICOs are doing it to protect themselves but this prevents income redistribution thing. An accredited investor is already rich and does help a normal guy to move up the ladder. The society is full of hypocrates.

Actually, the only problem in the government is that, they are banning cryptocurrency in their country because of the drastic change of economy due to people who are preferring to invest on bitcoins more than placing their money on the banks and it reduce the fund of government.

Well with the number of icos considerably rising, it's one way to regulate them. Try being wealthy some other way since it's natural.to think that some people who are trying to be wealthy at the expense of other will resort to releasing bogus icos

Its not really mean that if your not wealthy, you didn't allowed to be wealthy because as much as i know bitcoin is for everyone especially to those people who needed to earn money and we deserve it. We don't need to worries unless you do bad way and things in working. Just hoping that one day we will live a happy life without worrying and fear.

I am agree with you that bitcoin gives opportunity to all of us to earn and become rich not by investing but buy joining signature campaign and bounty campaign, it is free way of earning and for this nothing will have to invest so being rich is not important to be an investor and bitcoin user, if you have patience and money you can earn for sure but if you have time and knowledge you can definitely earn from bitcoin.

you need to wait your turn to become wealthy and meanwhile, you're waiting, you can work on many things to earn more money so in the right time and in the right places, you will become wealthy. wealthy is for every people which want to do something for their life and need a good attitude to get that rewards. and we can start right now to prepare our wealthy which will come soon and we will live a happy life like you said.

No its not like that, you can always invest on cryptocurrency and start trading in the market in order for your coins to grow even more and profit, you can also work on bounty campaigns by promoting their platform and earn coins after the end of campaign.

there is no rule that only rich people can invest in ico, it all depends on your own, even if you are poor but have money to invest in ICO yes no problem.
you have money, please invest only.

Stop blaming the system. there are numerous other ways to do become wealthy. You just need some time.

That's right, if we really want to be rich it will happen if we have the will to change and struggle, not just look down on someone, but we have to work hard, so that what we want can be achieved well. because it depends on us all.

I don't trust such conspiracy theories.
We are living in the free world and choose what we want to do with our lives.
With Internet and bitcoin, and many other crypto currencies, we are free to invest our money and time and to achieve financial freedom.
Nobody can stop you really, only you :)

I do not think so, anyone can participate by investing in ICO. maybe just different ways that rich people can do, they have a lot of money so everything can be done by investing large sums of money without thinking about the losses to be faced, such as trying luck to develop money invested in ICO. when ICO can run smoothly, even the work done can be successful, the benefits are more abundant so that the wealth can be improved.

Actually there is no such ruling that have ever been existed because the capability and capacity for small time investors to go into investments depends on their capability to afford purchasing or participating into such ICOs that he thinks can make his initial capital to earn and gain profit. Maybe that ruling you are saying only implies that before you can come up into participating on purchasing products of ICOs you must first have funds to support your aim so you better earn first at a small time basis and make those earnings go large into particilating into such ICOs that can totally make those you have invested to come into an increase. So for me, what you have said is still dependable on the situation and how the people perceive such ruling you have been saying.

yes it is true, if fate does not say rich then we will not become rich, but we should not despair with the circumstances. the most important thing we do is pray and keep trying.

Some of the ICOs do have the situations where they are screening people by how much worth they are bringing to the table - still doesn't mean the ICO will actually by any good though.

Guess the rich do tend to keep on getting richer... but you know what, to hell with circumstances, create your opportunities.

  Well, it is like we are going back to the times when discrimination is legal and widely accepted, That time was already passed, mankind become wiser and more subjective. We create our own future, depending on hard work and perseverance. As long as we are doing the right thing in achieving our financial goal in life, they can not isolate the poor from striving to become wealthy in the future.

I understand this point correctly, those of us who are not rich always live in a constant stress. Probably at this moment we are always observing graphs in case the values ​​of altcoins or btc decrease, because we know how this affects our small investment, while they, the rich, if they lose an investment they would not really lose a lot of wealth, they could continue with their lives perfectly.

If wealth where a prime determinant factor to good health the whole earth would have been suffering from under population because of massive increase of death, besides in health in the course of my studies as a public health officer i was told that the it is the little things that we eat and do that matters greater ones ennobles them. more than 70% of health is in our hands and not in the hand of wealth. good health to you all

As far as I remember there are some icos that are doing something like that and if you do not have the wealth invest in them then the only thing that you can do is to ignore them and to try to find some other project that accepts your contribution no matter how small, personally I think that icos are really shooting themselves in the foot with all of those rules and they are going to regret it.

We do have different opinion of being wealthy. There are some people consider  wealthy once they receive big amount of money or a big salary. For me being rich is totally different in being wealthy. In consider wealthy if i dont need to work for a year still i am able to live comfortable with no debt that still earning. It doesnt mean as well if we are not wealthy we are not allowed to invest or to dream high.

Well, I don't see that regulations in ICO world. As far as I know, there are people who are just new and no wealthy in ICO but they make big and become rich. I believe that depends on how you are working and how serious and skilled you are in choosing the right ICO. And if you are talking about having a low capital to invest in ICOs, the  just be patient until you make your capital grow.

First that senseless btcs related decision for newbies and then comes here the stupid

It is always necessary to cope with emotions: resentment, guilt, shame, fear, anger and of course envy, most dries the soul of man. A person should always be happy, if happiness ends, see what was wrong. " Lev Tolstoy. Also in investments. Therefore: it is not necessary to hurry, not to greedy, not to throw money  "to the wind " and not to envy but to act and then you will be rich.

The truely wealthy have options that most folks do not have access to. Their primary means of wealth generation is through some sort of operating company. This can be the source of the original wealth. If they have some sort of liquidity event, they may create a family office that manages their investment. Private equity investmento is a big source of alpha and larger offices may co-invest/directly invest in private companies. Even significant wealth however can disappear over the course of a couple generations if they don't invest together.

There's a lots of individuals who's did not empresses thier self as wealthy one, but here they are investing for the purpose of knowledge in curriencies and every one of us has the chances to be wealthy the determination of hardworking here in cryptos is a big deals.

if in my own opinion while trying to be sure to be rich in want is easy, because if you want to try it certainly will not betray the final result will be

I don't think there were any rules that you must be rich to invest in ICO, it implies that some country cannot invest in ICO because their government ban to do so. As long as you have enough funds and your country is allowed you can invest in ICO.

I don't think that this statement is correct because it depends on the goals, if they are set the right way you can always achieve goals and if you are motivated,  you can become wealthy anytime. Sure that there are many factors that should be taken into account but nothing is impossible

I think you must have misread the ICO rules. The usually do a pre-sale for large investments offering a good discount in the process. A presale investment will attract public investors as the project is more likely too succeed if they have a minimum amount already. Also it gives an increased element of trust

In the reality not all businessmen that becomes wealthy raised in a wealthy family. Some are just an ordinary people who have the dreams in life that someday they can provide more than what they needed. Example, Mr. Henry Sy he is now of the wealthiest businessman here in the Philippines yet he started from being a shoemaker that have the passion to work hard and have the dreams in life. He already established 33 SM Malls in the different part of the Philippines owns Banco De Oro-EPCI Back and majority share in China Bank. Therefore, I don't believe that only wealthy people have the rights to invest and be wealthy.

I didn't hear about such a meaningless law. May it be Fraud or something! I don't really know.

To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with allowing someone with the high amount of money to buy call at a comparatively lower price. That's how the market works. Even in the category of manufactured goods, you get some discount just because you are buying in bulk and it is reducing the cost of the seller in dealing with the smaller orders and he would definitely give that advantage to you in the form of discount under a bulk deal category. This rule applies in the case of crypto too and it reduces the operational cost of the company and company offers you some discount in pre ico deals.

In life we must always think positive, to be rich of course everything good and legal certainly legitimate to do, the presence of bitcoin and cryptocurrency become the right tool to be able to realize all our expectations, I'm sure that if now not rich then one day we will become rich.

This is true as a person were allowed to be wealthy just gives your time, effort and determined to be success. Being wealthy it took time to achieve our goals, to meet out expectations in life. It requires hardwork actually without this it cannot achieve what we wanted in life.

The opener is complaining about some icos that require that you have at least some amount of money in order to invest in it, I do not remember seeing a lot of icos like that but I have seen some, it doesn't really bother me because after all they can implement any rules that they want but that certainly is not going to make their icos very popular.

I think it's just a proverb that applies to people who think narrowly, I have never read such rules, which I know as long as he has the capital he can do this business, no matter how poor or rich may differentiate if oang is rich in capital expended bigger than people who just started they definitely have funding limits, but I think it is not humane if there are rules that prohibit people to rich

You're right, everybody deserve to have a better life, and ofcourse being poor is not a hindrance to become wealthy, instead, this will serve as your inspiration to continue and pursue your target.

We cannot really blame some ICOs doing it. I meant no offense but it is just like in the stock market IPO where people or companies reserving huge volumes are given priorities. Maybe because it can make the process easier. There are lots of offering out there so we can just ditch them if we are not given the chance to participate. Plus we can just buy them once they are in the open market. Who knows it will fall a little in prices.  ;D

government is trying to prevent people with small capital (read this: hard earned money) from loosing it all in scam projects...


Although it is not a perfectly regulated world right now and I understand the frustration, but hopefully things will change soon.

,,,If a person not wealthy yet he/she should not  lose hope to become rich, but if the person losing to achieved this kind of opportunity, he/she will not allowed to be  wealthy because the lack of interest and without perseverance to reach the goal. So it's like a race don't give up.

I think I read about this.. But which other countries has the exact same regulation apart from USA? Do you know?

It is depends upon the situation if you can buy a little why not they accept you they need people to support their marketing supplies although if they didn't succeed at the first place the whole ico will be scammed and people will become worthless again. Much better if you are going to invest a little those people who aren't wanting those little to invest are the one who are disclamair for npthing.

Yes, as for now i dont have wealth except only for having my family with me.I consider them my wealth.If i will believe on you that I'm not allowed to be wealthy,you are totally wrong.I have all the right! I will pursue my dreams to live my life with convinience.

Its true its easier for wealthy people to become more wealthy than poor people and thats how our world works. But you can try to become rich by doing the best that you can do to make your life better and better.

Eithier rich or poor people can earn profits with the bitcoin,everyone have a opportunity to be wealthy. As long as the poor people can understand how to participate in any forum where they can earn tokens. There's so many poor people that even they can not afford to go to school for their studies,they also learned in their own,how to read,write  and speak english even a little,and the other benifits of the forum,they can improve their english skills while participating and completing of all tasks that needed.

Whatever you do just leave out btcs ICOs. They dont worth your time. And wont also make you millionaire.

You are wrong about that, working on bounty campaigns will make you earn more profit to use for your daily needs, another thing is that there are a lot of successful person who are pioneers in this industry.

Moreover, not everyone who participates in an ICO are big investors and not all of them are rich. Remember, because the profit of investing can be seen from how much we plant, if the bigger money we grow, then we have a big chance to earn big profits and get rich, and vice versa. So yes everyone still has a great chance to be rich on crypto, because I have a friend who is not a rich man but with great care he sees great potential on ICO, then he can gain enormous profits from his huge investment as well as he does on at that time.

There are a lot of people who are late on cryptocurrency but today they are all working on the market and trading daily in order to earn profit because they are getting a decent amount of income today for their daily needs.

Maybe there are certain ICO that requires KYC on their investors so that they will know who they were and if they can afford to invest but i think it is not fair in the sense that here in crypto world everybody is equal. As long as you have the money you can invest in whatever project you desire to participate in. Everybody here should be given a chance to become wealthy.

To the OP - welcome to the world mate  :D

Yours is just an imaginery thought with no practical base. Huh! it may have happened but really haven't occur right?

I agree with this, everyone has a right to become wealthy as long as they work hard for it. It is not based on what status you are then you will stock there, no it will be base on how diligent you are and hiw you work hard on it.

more or less correct. if you are not rich enough you can only join icos white regular whitelists and buy from presale or sale with limited amount. but if you are rich you can contact for private sale and ask for better deals from team.

Anybody who have money can join ICOs there's no discrimination even thou your the richest or not there's nothing to do with the status in life even the poor one if they have money and want to invest why not.

Yes, I agree, is an unfair division of people into those who deserve and those who are not worthy. only because he has money.

Actually no, that is one of the good thing about crypto. Even a normal citizen can actually take part and invest in an ICO as long as they have crypto. Crypyo currency distributed wealth to other people.

That is why I'm not really complaining or anything it is their project they can do as they wish with it, and it makes sense to give priority to those that have more money after all the more money that you put in a project the more you want that project to be a success, but at the same time those that are small investors have all the right to complain as well after all they are the most affected by the decision.

We all have the freedom to invest or not to invest in ICO. it is not about your status in life that will hinder you to be wealthy. If you have a dream, then work hard for it. It's not about what others will think. It's on you and what you can do. Here in this crypto World, everybody has given a chance to invest and be rich. everybody here is equal.

yeah, maybe we are not wealthy right now, but I am sure that we can wealthy in the future. no problem if we cannot reach now because we still have much time to reach the wealthy and I think every people are allowed to be wealthy. as long as we do the right thing in every day and we know how to works with many ways, we can be wealthy too like the other people. just never stop for what we do and remember that we are going to be wealthy soon.

I don't think that there is such a law that doesn't allow people with low income to invest on ICOs. But then again i wouldn't be surprised if there is such a law considering that they are (the ICO) banking on the premise that if their ICO is exclusive for the rich then they will rack up more investments.

You're totally right that every each one of us has the right to be wealthy. Especially crypto has now been created and our chance has becoming higher. So, let's be positive in every thing thar we do because who knows someday we can be wealthy due to our undying faith to become wealthy.

There are many ico`s that  need a minimum investment but try to find the ico`s that have a small minimum investment that you can afford , but if you said that the ico`s are for the wealthy people only . You are wrong , there are many ways to invest , there are many ways to find a good ico`s but if you dont have enough money to invest , just wait the exchanger listing of your want ico`s then buy it with a dump price . :)

In cryptocurrency market, i think we have same chance to be a wealthy man. If we have good on choosing coin to invest, we can be a wealthy man in short time and if a wealthy man pick a wrong coin/token, they can be a poor.
Its same situation and in same market, the most importan thing is we make good analysis before we start investing our money

you have not read the law, but you can already say that. I think you are less wise in dealing with a rule. if there really is such a rule, I think it only exists in a small part of the project. if what you mean is a ban for our citizens and rules about KYC, it is not intended to distinguish between rich and poor.

We all have the chance to be wealthy someday and it is not just in cryptocurrency because in any field we can be rich as long as we do our best and we will not like the other people that are lazy and not consistent in their performance. We should become consistent and also keep aiming higher and higher so you will have more motivation in the future.

If we fail to become wealthy now then never pessimistic, everyone has the right and chance to be rich, bitcoin is one thing that can make wealthy but never just rely on bitcoin.

some reason i don't like to go to US because of that, but i think that common society want to make an improvment for people to getting rich for they sake, and of course for the country too, this is about tax of course

As far as i know, there isn't any law that states the you have to be wealthy if you have to participate in ICOs. OP is just making things up and he should have at least read the law before he decided to post this negative thing here.

We know that the poor can not afford to invest huge capital but what I mean is knowledge is the key to becoming a successful person.

There are many ways to invest even in icos with a minimum investment even if you do not have that amount of money, for example if you have a few friends that are also involved in cryptocurrencies and all of them like the project all of you could put your funds together and invest, then you can split the coins according to the amount of money that each of you invested.

Not true, what you allege is not true, anyone can participate with ICO or other projects.
Wealth can be realized by everyone especially for those who are diligent and enterprising, there is much evidence about this.

If you are really looking to get rich, get a professional university degree and get good grades and get placed in a MNC and that is the only thing you need to do to get a good life rather than sitting around or the other way is to have the skills to develop something innovative that could make you a billionaire.
The US is not allowing people to invest in these ICO is simply because of the amount of scams in the market.

We are not wealthy yet but we are allowed for it. Everyone has a chance as long as we work to achieve it. Working in crypto smartly and patiently can make you success in one thing which is financial freedom and you can save for the future. You can invest not only in crypto but also with real state assets. You can be wealthy on your own way and also money is not the measurement to be one wealthy man.

sometimes there are things that can be changed and there are also things that can not be changed, we just
have to do our best and work harder, if we are lucky then good things like wealthy will come, and we can be appreciated as smart workers                          

I suppose bitcoins are the only source of money that never help only if you are rich. No, rather even poor and people from all over the world with different kinds and castes, they can get into this world and earn money. Bitcoins are like a broadcasting agency that is spreading many chances and opportunists like anything and howsoever is interested in here, can get profit.

The reason why some of the governments are not allowing their people to invest on cryptocurrency is that, they are afraid of the community to get wealthy and no one will work on the corporate world just like what's happening now a days.

In my own personal opinion, the words that you have said is not true, you are wealthy or not you can still be wealthy that is why people are working hard, so they can reach their dreams to be successful and wealthy. Anybody is allowed to invest in bitcoin or in other cryptocurrencies as long they are willing to do it, even they have a little money for them to earn a profit.

stupid rule you read buddy! anyone can participate in ICO even the poor can participate on it. we bounty hunters if we get bounty from our campaign we can join ICO. theres none restriction of ICO as long as you have money then you can participate.

Theres no rule that only wealthy people had the rights to invest but they had more opportunity to invest rather than commoner.They had plenty of money so they had no problem if what it takes in investing while to commoner they need to be cautious in every actions taken.So it means wealthy people are more capable in investing but it doesnt mean that they are only have the rights to invest.Investment are open to everyone as long as you had enough money to invest.

Yes it is not important that you're wealthy so you can invest in bitcoin rather everyone can invest in bitcoin if they are wealthy or poor, so weathly can easily invest in bitcoin but poor person earn from bitcoin and then invest in this currency.

I do not believe in that idea. Maybe you will say, if you are wealthy you have more chances to invest bigger and be more wealthy. We are all have the right and opportunity to be wealthy.

I don’t think so that there is any such thing like that. In fact, this is just a false myth and that it has nothing. It is you and your own personal motivation and hard work which can help you in getting richer and that these are the things which decide your fate. You need not to feel bad if you don’t have enough of the money and that you need to keep working harder to get a chance of having a better living.

Being wealthy now maybe have advantages but being poor doesn't mean you're not allowed to dream high. There's so many stories of people who are started from rag to riches. People who are persevere and working harder can be wealthy, it's your choice whether you want to be poor forever.

In my opinion this is not rule you become rich even you are age is 60 years so try try again and focus on one committed point,goal,distention and follow it.I am sure if you are committed you will achieve it.

There is no such thing as this yes it is possible that the ones with most money could invest in a better Manner and their passive Investments could bring great results.

But there are people in this cryptocurrency world who don't have anything to invest and are still earning, it's true they work hard in signature campaign selling their services and many more.

With no Investments they are producing results and this is something that everyone can do therefore don't lose hope and best of luck.

Nobody in this world can prevent another person from becoming wealthy. It is an individual affair. where the person himself has to be determined to wealthy. It is true that sometimes we may face some resistance here and there but that resistance cannot prevent us from becoming wealthy.

Everyone is allowed to be wealthy, there's no rule hindering people to be rich. For as long as you are not violating the Law, you are good to be rich. don't be too affected by what other people will say to you. We are responsible to own life and not others. so stop worrying about any rules, because there is none.

do you have a specific ICO in particular? Most projects do ICO's to gather funds for the project's development.

ICO's usual target market are small investors, but some big fish invest on it even covering the whole project budget.

Maybe that's why you were saying ICO's are for big investors only.

if we are talking about accredited investor, we're literally talking about how much money, earning, and portfolio you got, comits is not the only thing that make it certain but there's so many factors to be considered as an accredited investors, basically, I'd agree that this kind of law is like limiiting the opportunity for ordinary people but instead, giving more chance for already rich people

Investment is  a gambling. It takes a strong hand to succeed in this kind of investment in cryptoworld where everything has no assurance of what may happen to the future of cryptos. Surely rich people have their advantage to succeed in this kind of gamble for the reason that they do have lot of money to invest into ICOs but that doesn't mean they are not prone to loses like average people. People who succeed in this kind of business are those people who are strong enough to take the risk and has good decision making. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, besides, bitcoin as well as altcoin is for anyone, as long as you are willing to take the risk, you can invest and be successful in cryptoworld.

Yes struggle, effort and your devotion is must but i think that luck also play an important role there, you need to be lucky enough if you want to become successful in your life, because in your success your luck play an important role, but still it does not mean that you should stop hardworking, you need to continue your hard work also.

It is not because most of the people are not born wealthy means that they don't have the right to become wealthy, it is not like that we are all have the freedom to set our own goals, but for me, I don't need to become wealthy and to be recognized by people, I am just happy in a simple way that I am financially free and that I can share what I have to some people who are in need.

I think everyone has the same chance and the right to be rich. If people think as you write, I think he is very stupid. Because to invest sometimes do not need much capital as owned by already rich person. It only takes strategy, time, clever looking opportunities and a fortune to invest. If the person is lucky perhaps with little capital, he or she can choose the right thing to invest and earn multiplicity and in a short time.

Lucky people will always win and clever to see opportunities.

Such accusations without any supporting facts dude. There are several projects which been supported by big time investors maybe because they believe in it. This might cause the project to close the project to investors because they've reached the certain project.

Believe in the projects, there might be scams but a lot have good concepts. That kind of attitude would help bring the crypto's go down.

Everyone have the right to be wealthy, there are many ways in which people can be wealthy, maybe that rules only applied to a certain business or investment or it is just a slogan promotting their endorse group, in anyway you can make your own way of becoming wealthy , working so hard , proper planning and taking all the necessary risks in your life to become wealthy, who knows there will be a time , you are  in the  lucky day, and do not miss it , grab the oppurtunity like this cryptocurrency.

I don't really care about that as long as i have my bitcoin and some of my favorite cryptos intact in my portfolio. Besides, these cryptos that i have will grow in the future that would eventually make me a wealthy person too.

The rich are the ones who always have goals in life, they have dreams, they have responsibilities. So they try to reach the goal they set. So they will become rich because they try. Some poor people are due to surrender, no ambition. Their life is limited to a small area and can not move forward.

It is such a rule, but investment is a lot of obstacles. If indeed you want to get better bitcoin you look for it from bounty campaign.

Yadah yadah. I don't see anything wrong with that, my friend. Accredited investors doesn't always mean that they are wealthy - they are just recognized, maybe part of the KYC big deal.

Don't be so bitter, my friend... you aren't rich now because you had just joined in last October; don't be such a mofo.

Yes i guess its definitely true at least for Crypto economy. Before coming with ICO also they come with issuing coins for large investors whom they give big bonuses and that bonus get reduced by pre iCO to ICO.
In exchange trading also Whales can  manipulate the whole market as they have large funds and retail small investors become the sufferers.

Well no one was wealthy in the start, it is just the wise thinking which costs you nothing and you can become wealthy by using mind free of cost. Having said that, let me mention that all the leading startups in the world and their founders were nit wealthy but passionate and have been working on their ideas twenty hours out of twenty four hours a day to make it a reality. You are wealthy because you have mind.

^^ There are good tales going back to ancient greek civilisation about the elements that create wealth.   All it takes in terms of a farmers economy is to predict failed harvests and invest in stock that will be worth more later in the autumn then it is now.    There can also be an excess harvest and that stock earlier will not be worth more later.     Good judgement has to come into play for wealth to be accumulated, it cant ever be easy.

I do think people confuse good luck with genuine long term wealth, work and savings.

Investment has risk and gambling has risk but I would not say they always equate.   Investment has a purpose of storing value with the idea of greater value later.  That idea can be wrong and the value lost or reduced.

Capitalism is about opportunity not any guarantee, just like the American dream.  It was supposed to be about entitlements, there are basic rights but to be rich was not one of them.  It cannot work that way as money really only comes from productivity. and efficiency gains to society overall

In my own perceptions equality in this society was always been an issue. Discrimination is real, but I never heard about the rules of life like you're not wealthy yet,so you're not allowed to be wealthy. For me being wealthy is a choice, your choice that you need to work hard for it. No one can stop you to aim and dream high for your future. Being wealthy is not an overtime job that when you woke up its done. It needs patients, sacrifice and a strong heart to achieved your goals. So if you heard this statement again that you dont have the right to be wealthy, its not time for teary-eyed instead smile dance with the waves of life and let them witnessed your success.

Hahaha well, how would you react, ecли you were so rich that you could afford to buy a continent a whole, and that WHO-gives from ordinary people will try to move you from the first line Forbes? Of course, the rich to visit would allow the appearance of someone-gives out another.

Why can not I be rich when I'm not rich yet? I'm not wealthy, it's a stepping stone for me to grow and become richer, it's my decision, everyone has the right to make a fortune. and become richer

Luck matters but I thin one work planning and our determination also matters a lot here, for me best thing is working hard and having faith on yourself that you can achieve anything so this way you will become strong enough to become something and get all your dreams but if you will lose hope then you cannot get anything in actual even if you are wealthy enough. So be sure about your will power and strength nothing is impossible.

Nice little chitchat right there guys. But actually the topic is all about ICOs that are only accepting accredited investors. Accredited investors are mostly group of people or institutions or individuals that are very rich and can invest big time. Maybe this happens when a project is expected to be sold out fast. But to be honest, the more people holding the supply the better when it comes to supply circulation.

If you are not yet rich then you are allowed to be rich and there is no limit or standards to become rich because all of us have the chance to become wealthy or rich and it just take a lot of effort and patience before we can become a rich person. If you are not yet rich then work hard and be wise and wiser over the time to become successful and have a fortune.

as long as he has money because there are no rules that forbid someone to invest if he is not rich enough and anyone can invest in bitcoin as long as he wants, he can do it

Those who are poor are the one who's allowed to be wealthy. They can invest in bitcoin little by little. Or use bitcoin to earn. Poor people are the only people who can change into the wealthy people. Everyone is allowed to be wealthy through bitcoin and other works.

sounded a bit harsh but i guess they are just protecting their project, they are just being optimistic for having a legit and dependable investors, they are also protecting small time investors because we all know that ICOs are not yet stable, if the project fails, the investors will not panic for they have more funds rather than those small time investors who has limited funds.

will maybe this kind of rules sometimes we called an anti racism because  of this words say's that "your not wealthy,yet so youre not allowed to be wealthy,so therefore these kind of ICO is first i heard and maybe its belong in US project developers because the concept is an initial  offering of those only for the big whales or have a big entrepreneurs into the world of cryptocurrency,actually if this is true  then we respect there rules,because sometimes there is inequality in the world,especially if we talk about investment.

Lets face the truth its how the world is balanced. Some are meant to be rich while others poor. Its now left  for you to move yourslf from that status of being poor to becoming wealthy.  Bitcoin is not meant for the rich alone. All you have to do is work hard and invest more to get to that level of becoming wealthy. Although things don't always work out the way we plan, but we can always change that.

In my own opinion, if "you're not wealthy yet, so you're not allowed to be wealthy" is not stupidity because there are people who are rich and poor, so how poor people will participate in ICOs if they don't have enough money to invest with it. But if poor people have enough money to invest they may participate in ICOs because investing is not just for rich people as long you have money to invest with it.

Yes I agree with you. It is a form of discrimination. We humans are created equally then we should threat each one as equal to us. I don't agree with this kind of selfish phrase.

Everyone can be wealthy so if you think your not wealthy yet there are so many things you can do to become wealthy.But first what's that kind of saying? If your not wealthy yet, you're not allowed to be wealthy.There's no rule's that if your not wealthy yet,you cannot be wealthy.For me all people can be wealthy.

Do not be pessimistic, hope is always there and it's never too late to be successful and rich from bitcoin, and now is a good time to buy because the price is still cheap, many predictions stating that the price will reach at least $ 50k by the end of the year.

Everyone can be wealthy if they work hard on trading or in working in bounty campaigns, there is no limitation in cryptocurrency if you have a goal you can always make a way to reach it so dont be lazy.

We are not wealthy yet but we are allowed for it. Everyone has a chance as long as we work to achieve it. Working in crypto smartly and patiently can make you success in one thing which is financial freedom and you can save for the future.

People are just being naive. You should have a valid proof to support what have you said. Many ICOs out there and many forum members are joining it, with just simple rules to follow. But i dont read any rules about being wealthy is a must to join one. If ever you really saw some rules that needed to be wealthy to join that specific ICOs, do you have to show some bank statement just to join in that ICOs? I guess if you have the capital to join eventhough you are not wealthy, everyone is welcome to join. ICOs are promoting their project and they targeting every market they can. Just saying.

Iam not agree with that . Can you say and proved that all of the rich people are born , grow with a wealthy life ? And poor cannot be rich or wealth ? All people can be wealth or rich you need to have determination . We all allowed to be wealth its depends on how to handle , manage your life .

haha maybe your thinking can be true also because nowadays that can make people become rich is trading by way of exploiting opportunity price which is down like this. it's better to just follow ico by using IP outside the US country.

Here all have the same opportunity to achieve their own goals. Perhaps the difference is the knowledge and experience in each member. Because in cryptocurrency there is no difference between poor and rich

I think it has a point how would you participate or would invest in ICOs if your not that wealthy enough to do that because you don't have enough earning. Poor people need to work enough for them to become rich and to do whatever they want, so they could not be judge by other people.

more or less correct. if you are not rich enough you can only join icos white regular whitelists and buy from presale or sale with limited amount. but if you are rich you can contact for private sale and ask for better deals from team.

I've joined several times in bounty campaign and so far I haven't seen yet that kind of rules, I think your just fabricating such thing just to have a topic. Be careful creating some topics cause it will harm your account in the end.

Yes you absolutely right , there are many ico`s with a minimal offer that we can afford and the best we can do is wait the presale bonus of ico because that time ico`s are give a good offer and the price is not already high.  Remember ICO is not only for the rich person even we are can participate for.

I came across that when I wanted to participate in this one ICO. And I was outraged. The law used words like "Sophisticated people." And I thought of my cousin, and all the people who are struggling, in the sentiment of the people who used this language to write such a law, if an opportunity like Ehtereum came along, they are not allowed to participate, for their protection.

Dear who say that for he does not have an authority to say words like that for everyone are entitled to do whatever we can to reach our own dreams despite of many obstacles in life. We did what we can and we gonna do what still we can do while have our being.

It doesn't matter if you are wealthy or not you can invest in ICO's as long as you have the resources. It doesn't mean that being poor can deprived you from investing. There are a lot of terms that you can earn like participating in bounty campaigns and then invest your earnings. It is ok to start here.

That's not true that if you're not wealthy yet you're not allowed to be wealthy. Anyone can be wealthy. Everyone has the right to progress and no one can forbid.

Everybody has a chance to be wealthy in life depending upon the ability of the people, so regarding this thread stated here  that if  people are  not a wealthy yet it doesn't allowed to be wealthy anymore, that's not true because if we have to pursuit ourselves and make our own effort to do everything to become successful in life no reason why we are not  also a wealthy person right? just trust our self confident.

It’s sort of like how you’re not qualified enough to borrow from a bank when you can’t prove that you’re capable enough to return the money or have any collateral. This makes it difficult for people who don’t have good financial backgrounds from borrowing money. Of course, an ICO would want to get “accredited” investors so that there’s an assurance that these people really do have money. It’s unfair and discriminatory but this how the world works and people basicaly judge and measure you by your wealth.

I think what you're saying relates to the people that participate in ICO privates sales if I get you right. Most of them prefer company or a known figure to buy in the private sale. That's just life, it is not discrimination, the more you have the more you continue to have and the more you'll be recognized.

Some ico's have the minimum investment volume of the tokens to be 10eth and higher. This is something similar to the saying of wealthy people are supposed to make an investment. With those volume of investment, most of the beneficiaries will be wealthy people and not the common people who in smaller volumes contribute to the growth in an unified way.

Everybody can join ICO's as long as they want, he/she could be wealthy or not.But wealthy man has the edge since they can buy as much as they want and can ask for a better deal from project manager or the team.

well there is a saying that "money attracts more money" that may be the reason why they have said to it. When a large customer wallk into a firm in the real life as well, he has so many advantages over the rest and it will go like this unless we as society become less greedy and try to be more fair.

I don't think there is anything solid to correct these inequalities or should I say Regressive or unevenly distribution of wealth because it has been like this right from even the world inception. I believed if you fall on the lower cadre stage, it is only up to you to break the yolk by improving your career to the best of your ability that can earn you more than being stagnant or following the level at which you aid with. In essence if you can for instance become A good Bitcoin Minner, can develop Crypto Websites, can Blogg etc to cut it short, the likelihood of you becoming very rich in this field is very eminent other than investing into ICO as stated.

There are a lot of other ICOs which do not have any limit for investors to invest in their ICO, if you will invest in those ICos and will earn some money then you will be able to earn some more in others and will be able to invest which have some limits. So if you are not wealthy now then find your way to be wealthy. The doors are open for all.

I think mostly this may happen because ICOs may be somewhat banned in those countries so they may do a private sale to sell their tokens(Some are not even allowed to mention ICO in their sales but token sales may rather be accepted). Some also need some minimum requirements to invest while others may be looking at big tech firms because of the nature of their project.

Everyone has a right to be wealthy. I think it's up to us when we will work hard for it. There are some ways to become wealthy but some of it is really need a big capital. So then we don't have to become more precious on it every one has its own clock, I think we must wait for our time.

Yes, everyone has a opportunity to be wealthy someday. Not just because we are not wealthy now, we are not able to be wealthy in the near future. We are free to do what we want because cryptocurrency was accessible. In fact by joining in a bounty campaign and keeping your rewards from it can make you rich.

lol. its not a big deal if your wealthy or not because all people have a freedom to invest in different ico's if they have money and the only can not be joined is the people like you who has negative attitude.

to be wealthy is the rights of every people and as long as they can keep trying to earn money, I am sure that someday they can get wealthy like other people too. to be wealthy cannot reach by instant but it needs a big effort to keep trying and in the hardest situations, we need to stay focus to reach what we want. no matter how hard, we still need to keep trying over and over until we can reach our goals for our life. I am sure that if we really work hard and work smart and the time comes, we can have what we dreaming on.

It is a persons prerogative to do whatever they want for there money wealthy or not wealthy as long as you have the resources and the capacity to invest. We are mature enough to make the right decision especially if it involves our money. If we have the driving force we can achieve our goals in life.

Real things, riches are inherited everywhere. Is it possible to work as a damned one, half of your life, only then you may become rich.

definetly this words is kind of logic,otherwise every people or part of this community even your an ordinary person you have a right to achieve your dreams to become wealthy by means of involving in crypto bussiness,so therefore  this statement saying your not wealthy yet,so we are not allowed to be wealthy is a kind of stupidity words,otherwise every bitcoiners have a hope to become wealthy and fullfill to becomes rich in crypto investment.

I beg to disagree, i am not wealthy yet, but i am determined to become wealthy one day😊, everyone joining in the industry is wishing to become wealthy, we are all here for the same reason,right? To see good profits and earn big, so everyone has the chance and entitled to become rich.

I am not as wealthy as you say but I have the right to make me richer and I have the power to create my own property from my own mind and labor, I have the right to do be rich for myself,

That is right , we are not born with a golden spoon, so every people have the right ,the oppurtunity to become wealthy, I have heard many big names in industry and establishment , they are from rags and now riches, everybody have the chance to be  wealthy and this bitcoin investment might have change our life to be wealthy.

Seriously? Who made this rule? Where was it published. I don't believe this. What is the measurement or degree to determine who is wealthy or not. How will they know if a particular person going for ICO is wealthy or not. I think when you have your money and ready to invest in ICO, simply go for a package you can afford.

Everyone has the right to become wealthy because there is no law that will not allow you to become wealthy. Becoming wealthy is always an option for the people out there, if you want to be wealthy then you need to strive hard and work hard each and everyday in order to fulfill your progress and become a successful wealthy person.

If you mean that people cannot invest on bitcoins if they have no capital or budget because they are poor ? , they can always work on bounty campaigns here in this forum to earn cryptocurrency which they can use to start trading in the market.

It is everyone's right to be rich, including myself. I will be as strong as I can to become rich. By following the crypto trade, I believe I can make my dreams rich.

Life's a bitch ain't it?


No he means that you have to be an accredited investor to participate in the ico. It has nothing to do with investing in bitcoin.

No one can decide what our future will be, we create our own journey and success, not others. We learn from our experiences and these can be a platform to improve oursleves and be more knowledgeable. It's up to us how we make use of our time productively to become wealthy, by becoming more determined, committed, passionate, and positive to deal any challenges that may come along the way.

Yes, we have the option to be wealthy but not everyone has the opportunity to do so because of some restrictions like what OP said about being an accredited investor first before someone can invest in an ICO in their country. Anyway, if one door closes, you can still find another door or there is still a window so you can still find ways and other means to be wealthy. Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise that you can't invest in something because there are better opportunities ahead.

We live in a world full of uncertainties and it maybe hard to stay positive all the time due to different challenges. In a society where others are trying to tell who we should be or what we should do, what we can do is to define success for ourselves. We are all entitled to be wealthy, and this can be achieved if we stay committed, to be visionary, to set goals, to dream it, to believe it can happen, to never stress oursleves, and to welcome failures for progress.

Yeah imagination and mindset is the limit and if you don't accept it and limit your mind for those limitations in government or the laws? You will definitely not going to succeed. There are so many people that is striving to be rich and wealthy and many of them achieve it. I am just thinking of  the OP why he can say those things didn't he saw or heard a life from poor that become wealthy person or he's just negative with his life situation.

Of course, wealth is dominated by investors However with strong adherence that fate can be turned into a challenge for hunters to work hard in earn substantial income going forward.Without having to complain when ico has a relatively long working duration.

I do a lot of ICO. Many ICOs are not on my wallet. Depressed really want to give up. Now I'm making a bounty do not know how it will be.Mong people just said: (( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

No, there is no rule like that. But rich investors are the main targets. If you’re starting a new project, your main target will be to get the interests of the bigger investors and make them invest money in your project and make it grow.You won’t really have much interest in getting the small ones, once you have caught the big fish, the small ones follows.

So it’s a normal thing, but when it comes to who is getting profit, that one is balanced and everyone can make profit depending on your level of expert in that business. Will be a good way to rip off the rich😋 any single mistake, they rip you off lol😂

That is a very racist thing tp say because we all have a freedom we all have a choice and have a dream in life and almost all the rich people that are humble of course those who are from the poor family before but I am not saying that all rich are arrogant people it is just a shame to see that they are dividing the society with this kind of rule. There are a lot of ways in order to get rich and with the help of the cryptocurrency this makes it more handy to gain profits so lets just not believe that rule if that is true.

I do not agree what you said about "if you're not wealthy, so you can't become a wealthy", because every people all over the world wants to be wealthy but in a different way how to they do that to reach that goal.

we have a chance to be wealthy as long as we can get to work in many ways. I am sure that we have a big opportunity if we want to search in the cryptocurrency and we can also try with trading to get the money. besides that, if we still focus on what we do now, soon, we can do other works which could give us another income. we need to keep trying if we want to be wealthy and without hard work and smart work, we cannot reach what we want and we don't have any chance to reach again.

Unfortunately, ICO is Forced to regulate in the rules of participation, persons from the United States cannot participate in the purchase of tokens. This is done because the SEC is very tightly regulated. So you can buy tokens on your relative from another country and sell on his behalf. No problem.

I don’t know about the law you’re talking about, but it sounds stupid to me. Also it’s kind of discrimination that shouldn’t exist in our world.

everything looks wealthy with cryptocurrencies and even get rich but in reality, any investor should do lot of hard work in gaining knowledge and investing and expecting results ico and other cryto coins are volatile in nature

Everyone has the chance to become wealthy if they are not lazy enough to work everyday like trading in the market or accept services like translations, there are a lot of work to be done by just participating on bounty campaigns so everyone can earn cryptocurrency by just working.

For me as well it is the most discouraging post, it is not good to say like this, we should encourage people by telling them the truth of bitcoin investment that how it makes people rich and wealthy within few months holding, so I think people should not listen this kind of false news and wrong statements, everyone has right to use bitcoin and earn money.

Yep, it sounds like a rule for not rich people. Society is cruel now. To become wealthy is very hard, only working hard for a long period of time. But still there is no guarantee that you will become elected.

You are not wealthy, so you are not allowed to be rich. It's stupid because the words that make the weak ones stop their steps should not have such negative thoughts. dont not think about that.

I haven't read or have come across that kind od rule, in fact I know some people who are not that wealthy and even invested on a certain coin and ICO when he got his last pay but did allow him to join and invest them. Those are just words coming out of some people who are insecure of those who got in first, in my opinion.

That phrase is limited to the mind of a greedy being, people living in this world have the right to wealty , not that if you are not wealthy yet ,then you are not allowed to be wealthy , that sounds not very good , because if you are working hard and in the right way , it is your chance to be wealthy, because it is the friut of your work and no one can question that.

Agree being wealthy and dreaming of this is everyone's right. I don't even read or such things that we are not allowed to be wealth is that mean we have the right to aim and dream for ourselves because we are not given the right to do so. I disagree in the whole statement. Being wealthy is a chance and everyone's right. Humanitarian rights.

We are not wealthy yet but we are allowed for it. Everyone has a chance as long as we work to achieve it. Working in crypto smartly and patiently can make you success in one thing which is financial freedom and you can save for the future.

It is right and the reason is whales. They manipulate the market and suck our money. Big investors are making big money and small investors are losing their hard earn money. Manipulation is a big problem for bitcoin. Many people do not invest in bitcoin because they are aware of market manipulation so that will not make any profit in their presence.

I am not wealthy, why am I not allowed to be rich? I will try every day to be rich. I believe in my ability and I will certainly do it. Human capacity is endless if we exploit these possibilities.

Rich does not mean can not be rich or in the not rich not. All can be possible when we try the poor can become rich people. Instead the rich can fall into the poor depending on what they bring the wealth of what. But if the rich do not be arrogant the potential to be on guard 8) 8)

It has nothing to do with being "allowed" to be wealthy and everything to do with protecting people who don't know jack about complicated investments from getting swindled. There is a presumption that people who are wealthy have the financial prowess to scrutinize various types of complex and non-traditional investments in the private space that are not regulated (as opposed to public securities that are fully regulated). If this presumption happens to be wrong and you have a rich idiot, the fallback position is that even if they lose their investment because they're foolish, they have the financial ability to weather that loss. People who are not accredited investors 1) are presumed not to have this financial acuity (which may be unfair in certain situations, but on the whole tracks pretty well), and 2) do not have the ability to weather the loss of their investment if they get themselves swindled in an unregulated investment.

On the scale of risky, unregulated investments, ICOs rank right below "obvious Ponzi" in the risk department. The accredited investor rules are not stupid, they're the direct result of people who don't understand the risk inherent in private investing, lose all their money, and then complain to the government about how nobody was there to protect them from themselves. Hence, accredited investor laws.

Lol. If you go in the bitcoin at the beginning of the emergence and if there you make a lot of your money then you have become rich when bitcoin prices increase very high in 2017. There are many stories that have answered it all. So to be rich in crypto I think it's still very possible if you are a hard worker that can be applied in the world of crypto.

There is no certain allocation of wealth.  Even the poorest people can be rich as long as they trust themselves. Hardwork and perseverance are some of the keys. Everyone has the chance. There are a lot of opportunities by joining bounty campaigns which implies, in order to be wealthy, then you have to work for it.

How does one define wealth? If you only define wealth as being rich with millions to billions of dollars then your perception of wealth is shallow. Anyone can be wealthy on their own way, I my self might not be financially wealthy but I am wealthy enough with love form my family and of course for them I want to be financially free. For others it could be different do not just limit your self in one definition. Also I do not believe that one big time investors are allowed in the crypto industry, as the crypto industry is for the resourceful.

Sounds quiet unclear,  but I would say that every person is able to become wealthy, if that person would work hard and work Smart, all the limits are only in your own head. Just my humble opinion on that.

Everyone has an understanding of wealth. Someone thinks he is rich because he has a lot of dollars, someone considers himself rich because he has many bitcoins, and someone considers himself rich because he serves his god and is rich spiritually.

Is this true ? if yes can you give a concrete information about this and also a justification. I want also to know.

Yeah maybe you are right... We need to accept this hard facts that it is truly happening in our society... Even before cryptocurrency exist it already happened...  People who belongs in a high class society can live much better here in this unfair world because they have are granted for lots of chance...  Unlike those who is not so rich they will really need to strive harder first before they reach their success... It happened because rich people can spend to much than us without thinking a great lost for them...

That is the biggest thing that is unbelievable and not true that if you are not wealthy you are no longer allowed to become wealthy? For those people who makes hardwork and sacrifices they deserve to become wealthy so I don't believe in that statement, a lot of poor people are becoming wealthy nowadays.

No ,that is bad phrase, that if your not wealthy, you are not allowed to be wealthy ,everybody has a chance to be wealthy in this world and that bitcoin and crypto is I believe maybe the thing that can make our life better and be wealthy through hardwork and patience, so that is not true that only wealthy have the right to be ruch but poor has also a big chance to be wealthy

Everyone can make their life more comfortable in this world and they can earn a lot of money for their life and their family brcause everyone has equal rights, so the important thing is that hard working because hard working can make sure that you will lead successful life, and that's why everyone can allowed that they live in wealthy life.

Its so stupid forbid anybody to become investor. Every body should have same chance to be wealthy man and not only institution. Peoples have a right to do with their own money and investing money should be good for economy

I have not heard that rule in my entire life. It kinda surprises me.I have a friend that invest on certain ICOs but he is not that rich yet. He makes money through investment and he does not even encounter that kind of problem. I dont know about you.

IMHO

I had .000000001 btc and turned it into quite a few, you may start with 1 seed and turn that seed into a watermelon to buy 20 more seeds.
With 1 Huntercoin I turned it into 1000`s+  (I may not recommended this now as AI have taken over that game and unless you can beat them like I did good luck)

think if it as a snowball, sure yours might start small but as you roll it down the hill it may get bigger and bigger if you push it.

well if you are not American you need not to read or abide by their laws, only the universal ones such as gravity.

I guess there is no law for that everyone is allowed to be wealthy, we are free to dream to become wealthy and free to do our best too. Here is this crypto business there are lots of poor people became wealthy by developing their capabilities in comply the taks given and by exploring the world of crpto.

that is a stupid saying. I never heard a word worse than it. Being rich does not mean they will never be rich. If they are as lucky as billionaire Mark Cuban, they will soon become billionaires with little capital in hand.

To some extent you are fight but it is also a fact that in this world rich people become richer and poor become poorer. Rich people will never let poor to earn huge money. It is the problem of the whole world especially in third world and I am living in third world country. Crypto investment is expanding distances between rich and poor.

What you mean dude? I've participated in ICOs as an investor because I have some excess money and intend to invest in ICOs, if you are not rich does not mean you never get rich, it's a matter of time and not rules, what you want try to say? waelthy is dependent on your intelligence, logic and luck, I do not really like narrow-minded people.

definitely it doesn t work in that way even if you are poor but hove money on ico to invest you can invest and there is no a rule like only the rich ones are allowed noo and disagree with this totally maybe they might have better chances to double their money but thats all no more point else.

You can try to invest even you are a poor. Because in cryptp there are a lot of way to earn money and if you already got money then use it to invest in any ico that you think can give you profit.

When it comes to ICOs investments or participation, accredited investors does not mean only rich or wealthy people. I think you might be referring to whitelisting which I am not too sure of though. There is usually a frame of time for those accreditations and ones you are able to get in within that particular period of time and have the least required amount, then you may be able to participate.

Everyone can be very wealthy on cryptocurrency and for those people who are investing a huge amount today, they have an assurance to be rich in the future because bitcoins price is keep on growing.

That is not a good phrase, every people around the world deserved to be wealthy, it depends upon the hardwork of every individual that will make him wealthy, some wealthy person did start from rags to riches, so it will not matter if you are poor as long as you reach your goal of being wealty.

There are many projects that have such restrictions, but this is related to the local laws and regulations of the United States. But in this world, people who are usually rich have more resources in the encrypted world.

Yes, but it is true, it is a hard way to rise up for a simple poor man, all stories about genius with their easy way is bullshit, all of them had good parents or something that helped them.

I think There are bad things in that but the good thing is whatever you are, you can get rich in this because it depends on you if you will work hard and smart just to get the money. Because if this identity is true other people will always say that especially the wealthy people who are not safe
And I think It really is a community-level discrimination and that will not work in this case because fortunately this forum gives us the opportunity to become anonymous and hide our appearance in the username.

That's a defeatist way to see things. Success doesn't depend on where you came from but to what you do to achieve what you want. You're not allowed to be wealthy if you believe you're not allowed to.

In bitcoin it does not make rules that prohibit  the poor from joining the crypto and  ,in the phrase that if you are not wealthy , you are not allowed to be wealthy, that is mot true ,every individual person living in this world will have the chance to be wealthy, it depend upon their hardwork and patience.

Exactly, each of us want to have a comfortable way of living as we need a good life. Also, we need to do such things by doing extra income to sustain and maintain all the possible daily consumption of our way of living. I believe each of us have a huge chance to up grade the way of living that we have before since we need to be comfortable and can easily buy those foods and things that we wanted as we adopt and work here in crypto currency community.

Very small people make money from cryptocurrency investment. The early investors made thousands of dollars from bitcoin investment because in start the price was just a few dollars and at the end of 2017 it reached $20k the highest of all times. Those who sold their coins at that peak are now millionaires and the richest people of their communities.

You can earn more money if you invest a lot.  From a small amount of especially profit can not wait, they will not pay off.  It is better to podkonapit more and get a greater return than to be content with a small amount.

Even if I'm not rich, nothing prevents me from becoming rich. Everyone can become rich. You are no exception.

I do not think it is because we have not learned about wealth, nor have anyone raised you to be rich. Not rich yet because of lack of knowledge, skills on wealth. We have no plans for finance, spending on science, thinking poorly, not thinking about the future. So to become rich you need to change the way you learn, to have methods to become rich. I believe we have the right to be rich, if we are conscious of ourselves!

So far I have not seen any rule or guide to suggest these. But in reality the only ones who would probably say these may not be the rich or neither the poor ones. The can be classified as the "greedy ones". No matter what position in the society you hold, rich or poor if you are greedy then you could be one that rules this way. It's part of the nature of man. But thanks since not all are really greedy there are few good men who really loves to share fortune. Those who help those who are badly in need.

I agree with your point of view. To play the financial game you must be rich to go fast, but if not rich, try to become rich. Wealth will be much faster when we have a wealth of expertise, financial investment expertise, and wealth that will come quickly to those who grasp the opportunity to invest financially.

Yeah you are right, big whales will never let you make money from crypto investment. They manipulate the market according to their well. They just think of their own benefits and don’t care about the rest of investors. It is not only crypto world; regular businessmen will also create obstacles in your way of success. You will have to fight with them for your rights.

Better believe it you are correct, enormous whales will never give you a chance to profit from crypto venture. They control the market as per their well. They simply think about their own particular advantages and couldn't care less about whatever remains of financial specialists. It isn't just crypto world; normal specialists will likewise make impediments in your method for progress. You should battle with them for your rights.

Is there a link and proof of your allegations. It's not about being rich or poor to invest in ICO as long as you have the resources to invest and buy tokens at ICO, In our society there is no proper allocation of wealth. We are all in a capitalist economy where in reality, the poor will become poorer and richer to become richer.

Are you sure with that. If that is true then the rich will become more richer and the poor will become more poorer. That is not good idea. In my own opinion I am happy with this crypto world because a lot of people who does not have job are still earning money because of engaging in this crypto business. A mother at home can easily earned money because of joining bounty campaigns and some other tasks that pay bitcoins.

why the rules should be like that? I do not agree with the rules, I want everyone to be treated fairly, what kind of ICO makes such a regulation?

Absolutely correct. Everybody on earth in initial days started with scratch and over a period of time made money. Those who are born with silver spoon is a different story rest of them become rich by making the right choices at right time and by working smart to achieve their dreams come true.

That kind of sucks,accredited investors are usually in the range of 25000 USD or more,that cuts off a  lot of persons.It is discriminatory. Crypto-investment should be open to all who can at least provide minimum identification.

That is what we currently see with most ICOs involving US investors.Apparently there is some sort of screening carried out to remove persons with relatively small capital to invest.It is biased in my opinion.

I have haven meet this kind of ICO's, could you give some examples regarding you afirmtions? You made me courious.

The truely wealthy have options that most folks do not have access to. Their primary means of wealth generation is through some sort of operating company. This can be the source of the original wealth. If they have some sort of liquidity event, they may create a family office that manages their investment. Private equity investmento is a big source of alpha and larger offices may co-invest/directly invest in private companies. Even significant wealth however can disappear over the course of a couple generations if they don't invest together.

There are many ICO prohibiting the participation of American citizens, which is related to the domestic policies of the United States. Of course, this may be a measure to protect citizens. I think most ICO is open, but you should pay attention to risks. Many projects are false.

I think the World is full of inequality and exploits the wealth you need to sacrifice. The rich are lucky, they are born to be superiors. They can buy what they want and get what they do not have without thinking about big losses.
But In our society there is no proper allocation of wealth. We are all in a capitalist economy where in reality, the poor will become poorer and richer to become richer. Just imagine that you do not have anything and you know a lot in cryptocurrency, what would you put in the ICO? there is no .

Well actually, for me, that is not true. If we are not wealthy, then we can be wealthy and that is freedom. There is a saying that if we are born poor, that is not our mistake, but if we die poor, then that is your mistake. We live in this world because we have a purpose. Our life is not stable. I mean it will not stay like that if you are not wealthy. And every people can be wealthy if they wanted to. It needs hardwork and patience. Everyone has a freedom to be wealthy and that is allowed.

I think we are all have a fantasies to wind up well off some time or another fantasies are for everybody we would all be able to end up wealthy. If we don't have a riches perhaps we can draw in to the things that are extremely beneficial to acquire profit.I trust that we have all a similar appearance and cerebrum to think positive that is the reason I trust that we would all be able to end up affluent on the off chance that we need with a diligent work.

I think we are all have a fantasies to wind up well off sometime dreams are for everybody we would all be able to end up wealthy.If we dont have a riches possibly we can draw in to the things that are extremely beneficial to acquire profit.I trust that we have all a similar appearance and cerebrum to think positive that is the reason I trust that we would all be able to end up affluent on the off chance that we need with a diligent work.

We dream to become wealthy, if we work hard and do the best their is no impossible to become wealthy, it's really too hard but don't loose hope, if there is opportunity grab it and do you best.

I don't know if I am just ignorant or what, but I have not heard that rule ever until now. I agree, there is no sense to not let poor people do investment. Poor people does not mean that they do not have money. Of course they do but they are just lacking, they can still do investment if they managed to save some and this can be a way for them to become rich.

Rich is the concept and keyword that people often mention and enjoy. Wealth can not come to those who are superficial to it. All success goes through life's difficulties. To get rich, you have to exchange wisdom, effort and many other things. It is for anyone who really wants and is really determined.

People can always working on bounty campaigns in order to earn more income that they can use for living, this is the reason why other workers in the corporate world are preferring to use cryptocurrency.

I really disagree on that quote because people have their own rights for them to be rich or wealthy, so they could have a good life of their own even they are poor they can still be rich if they work really hard. People can invest their money in ICOs if poor people will save money so they could invest in a good project and become rich.

I don't think there is the rule that aiming to become rich is for the rich people only? Everyone is allowed to become rich it depends upon a person determination and eagerness to become rich. If you work hard and study everything then you have the chance to become rich someday. For me engaging in this crypto business can give a bigger chance for me to become rich.

Anyone who is willing to take a risk whether wealthy or not is welcome to join the crypto world. This thing is not only for the wealthy person. For me, these common people or those people belongs to the lower class must be encourage to join crypto in order to ease their financial problems. The purpose why crypto is present is to make the poor rich and not making the rich or wealthy richer.

I know that there is something in your words, but also I know so many guys who were poor enough to not having many clothes, but thanks to bitcoin and god they have gone from the problems that they had.

All of us want to be wealthy, even the poor can make their lives easy because of bitcoin. Anyone can join ICO even you are poor or rich,  if you want to be success you will do everything just to achieve it. No rules that only rich people have the chance to join ICO.

This is a very common misconception and that there are so many people who don’t even try to change their living standards and that they live their lives like the way they were living it before whereas you must stand up to make some change and that you need to look for the opportunities which can then help you in having a chance of making enough earning to live a comfortable life.

The economic system in many countries is really faulty. This does not pertain to the digital world only. Things are built in a way that the rich only get richer. And the poor get poorer. So, it's not necessarily new. Unfortunately, I don't see any possible change in the near future. But if you're not wealthy, you can pose to be wealthy. And if you work with the right principles, sooner or later, you will be rich actually.

This was the old mentality of the people and that this terminology does not hold valid as people have already started proving it wrong. There is no such way because of which we can support this argument as there are people who are now earning a huge amount of money and that they were not having enough of the resources in the past. It is all the hard work and determination which will help you in accomplishing your goals.

I think wealth is something that can pass on generations to generations and rich is just you. If you are not sure that your grand grand son will live without worry of money than you are not wealthy, yet if you are living alright despite that you are rich.
I do not have too much expenses so anything like 500$ a month is enough for me, anything above that makes me into a rich person because I am capable of doing whatever I do and still have money left. You need to have enough money to make sure your kids live well and their kids are well and so forth in order to make sure you are wealthy.

We all have a chance to be wealthy in time as we will do our part to be successful and to develop our skill and investment in the future. We need to be a good learner in order for us to be successful and in time become rich and support our living in the future with investments and with the used of cryptocurrencies.

Hard work, determination, interest, skill and courage are important but still the most important is the amount of money you have, which you are going to invest and start trading with. If you are fulfilling all the above mentioned sills but you do not have any investment the all the skills you have no use.

Actually dream is free but in this dream, meaning it will open to all people  that have un ambition to become wealthy. To become wealthy it depend upon the people if they are wealthy because their is no qualification in terms of wealth. Some people in this world have good oppotunity thats why we can say that is already to become wealthy.

I think this isn’t the way. Those who aren’t wealthy must become wealthy and make their lives better. For those making such views, I think they should understand the context of chances. If bitcoin old produce chances or conditions for only those who have such big wealth already, for that we could say this statement is right only, but reality is totally different.

Actually, there is no rule that only rich people can invest in ico, it all depends on your own, even if you are poor but have money to invest in ICO, yes no problem. You have money? please invest only. Simple as that. Any thoughts?

You can split the coins according to the amount of money that each of you invested.

Anybody who have money can join ICOs there's no discrimination even thou your the richest or not there's nothing to do with the status in life even the poor one if they have money and want to invest why not.

i havent come across such rules in my 5 years experience, but am not too quick to decide, if such rules exsit then its really not the best, it negect the rules of EQUITY. Like i said earlier am not too quick to run into conclusions, if the author of this post have seen such then he or she should paste a link to such ico or bounty with such rules.. :-\

Well, i will agree in some areas to the fact that some investments are meant for the wealthy. The poor that go into such investment do not really get to make good profit as those that invest big and get a reciprocating yield afterwards.

Becoming wealthy is not exclusive to the wealthy persons only here in crypto and in the real world. As long as you have the willpower, perseverance, and determination to excel in that particular field, you can do it. I have witnessed a lonesome person in the real word that started from nothing and become one of the millionaires here in our country because of his hard work and the will to succeed in life. And I bet this is also true here in the crypto world as long as you are willing to take more risk.

That time was already passed, mankind become wiser and more subjective. We create our own future, depending on hard work and perseverance. As long as we are doing the right thing in achieving our financial goal in life, they can not isolate the poor from striving to become wealthy in the future.

It is! I do not support those guys who claim that if you are not wealthy, you are not supposed to be wealthy. With the cryptocurrency, and wise investments + trading, you can earn pretty much! IMHO.

If there is such a rule then it is actually kind of prejudiced against people who have a small capital. Personally I've seen ICOs that if you want to join, the minimum you have yo put up is at least 5000 USD. I mean, this really makes investing in such an ICO discouraging. Then again, if you don't want to invest or can't invest then don't.

I am sure that a poor man can achieve great results with due diligence. Of course such cases are very few, but it all depends on the thinking of people.

that does not mean that not being rich is not allowed to be rich, so that it can make us all together to keep trying and working so that we can become rich. the most important thing is that we must remain boozed and optimistic about our future success

We are all fair in this world and we are all allowed to get rich. We all have the right to earn and to save for the future. No matter what our financial status or situation is, we are all entitled to save and be wealthy in the future. We are all allowed to participate in different ICOs around us.

Well I guess America is the best example that you could become a billionaire starting as a shoe cleaner. Wealthiness comes from effort and a bit of luck.

Ya, the amount of regulations are absolutely ridiculous.  The government is trying to tell everyone what to do with their money and how to invest it.  Note: I still believe in taxes to help maintain society.

I don't think so, because wealth comes from the individual himself how he gets it. of course if we want to be rich there must be intentions, keep trying and never give up, we certainly can achieve it.

The above expression is natural, to be rich we must be rich first. That is the reality everywhere. So those who can follow as rich people must be smart people. For example, smart people can seduce rich people to invest in startups, which are beginner companies that are established with minimal capital. After the company becomes big, everything involved becomes rich.

This is just because of the whales. Whales are like casino owners which never let gambler to win big money. Gamblers always lose their money but never win. The same situation is here in cryptocurrency market. Whales will never let you make some money but always think how to collect money from all over the world. You will not be able to make money and become rich.

The investment in the cryptocurrency market must be based on a relatively strong capital base. Because according to my observation, there are a lot of white people out of the market. Therefore, there must be a firm basis to invest in Bitcoin.

This is how the society being run by some greedy people who would like to maintain their social status by being wealthy. Anyway, we all know about this so we should get along with the people in the society by doing what is right and just. And maybe one day we can create an opportunity be wealthy one day.   

Nevertheless, they somehow created their own community and from what they started, so this is their right ...

You're not wealthy yet so you're not allowed to be wealthy what was that? If you are not wealthy you can make you life wealthy everyone on is not wealthy but bacaues of their determine and confidence they can be. A wealthy more that the wealthy peoples.

It's all in the mindset and with our proper attitude. It needs dedication, and self-discipline inorder to achieve ones goal.  We have to invest and help ourselves first so we are in a position to help someone else out too. Nobody could ever decide for ourselves but only us. Don't let criticisms distract you, let it be your fuel to be strong and to stay focus. Stay positive! Claim it! Live your dreams! It can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

I believe that you just need a good idea or project to roll in millions. This is how things work in the market. If your idea is good enough to attract costumers, you would no doubt be the best seller in the market. Speaking about the big capital, it just enables you own high amount of the coins you want to invest in.

This thing proves effective in long term and has been seen in the form of investments made by Tim Draper and other Bitcoin Billionaires. So yes big capital sounds sweet but you can also start with small capital that will give large benefits if you are bale to extend the investment in the long terms.

Where there are rules that prohibit poor people from investing in the ICO, I am a person who is not rich, but I will continue to participate in the ICO project and I will be a rich person from this Cryptocurrency. That's for sure and I'm very optimistic.

I admire your optimism as this technology could be a gateway for us to achieve our financial freedom. As long as we are all welcome to invest in this technology we can still have hope that tomorrow could be brighter than today.

In my opinion if i am not wealthy now,many someday somehow i can be wealthy too,and it is upon my hardwork,efforts,and abilities to do so.,we all are capable to be wealthy too if we do steps on how to do it,even in a little way as long as it always we can do a bit of investment and do a nice profit well for that in an exact time,we can achieve the life we want to be and i beleive for that.

The rule of only accredited investors permitted to invest in certain ICOs is intended to protect vulnerable people. Everybody knows that ICOs are highly risky – and regulations are aimed to save money of those who may be not enough unqualified. And ICOs benefit from identifying the whales. Pretending to be a decentralized platform where all investors are equal, in fact, ICOs make double standards. The accreditation means that you need to have some level of influence and income.

I think it is not about your living position in life because even your wealthy or not you can get what you want if you have the chance to get it. Just like getting a chance to be wealthy in any ways like gambling, trading, etc. And I think it is not necessary to a person to be a wealthy to get a wealthy living even your get it in your hard work.
