I don't they had any choice in the case of BTC and ETH. Can you imagine that hanging on the books? They could use that violation as an excuse to do whatever they want, whenever they want, to anyone in crypto.

Investment = Security.  It's a very simple way to look at it. The only ICO I've seen that is not a security is http://myke.ai/whitepaper. And it should be.  The value of the token, even after the project is complete, is relative to its prospects.

The conversation needs to move forward: if ICOs are securities, what comes next? Stop worrying about what you can't change, and put energy toward what you can.

The definition of "accredited investor" must change.

Right now, it's not a way to protect people, it's a way to take money from the working class and give it to rich brokers. 

It's clear a few legitimate AI projects are starting to surface. Mykrosystems has a real use for blockchain and it's serving ML with datasets.  Interesting project.

So...scam.

A listing request was submitted to Bittrex right after the reissue.  From what I've read, there isn't a compliance fee for ERC-20 tokens and they only accept requests from the team.  So the waiting game continues.

Poloniex accepts requests from everyone, so we might as well flood their spreadsheet with demands for STRC.  I'll make it easy for you:

Some news:

$STRC and $GTKT will be listed on https://etherdelta.github.io by Monday, August 21

Requests have been sent to several other exchanges and any relevant news will be shared as soon as the exchange gives the green light

I see that some of you have been sending requests to Liqui, so momentum is building. Troops are rallying over in the Liqui trollbox to encourage exchange listing. The authentic messaging is turning out to be great native marketing as well, so yay!

A friendly challenge is in place to see how many times you can say $STRC in the trollbox before getting banned. 

As of yesterday, I am the de facto town crier. So you can expect more regular updates here as news comes in.
