Title: How to Start a Bitcoin Investment Fund? Post by: aztec100 on December 01, 2011, 01:43:47 AM Good evening, I'm new here and just getting started with bitcoin but I'm interested in possibly starting a bitcoin investment fund once I get used to how bitcoin works and the economy of bitcoin. I've searched this forum and unless I missed it I couldn't find a thread about how one can go about starting a bitcoin investment fund. While I don't actively trade my own stock trading account anymore due to having to liquidate to help with a family emergency last year, when I did trade I had healthy returns. How can one go about starting a bitcoin investment fund? I'm looking for tutorial style help if one exists. Thanks in advance.

I'm located in the US, and this is the part where I need to get more familiar with bitcoin. I was under the impression that since it was anonymous money I wouldn't need to register with the SEC or get any of my Series 3, 6, 7 or any other licenses to operate a bitcoin fund. Guess I was wrong on that front. Glad I asked first or I would have gotten caught up in some ish I can't handle. Title: Re: How to Start a Bitcoin Investment Fund?

So from what I read I've concluded that since bitcoin isn't a legally recognized tender one would not to register a fund with the SEC or get any of the normally required licenses. Thanks again for the link. |
