How to Start a Bitcoin Investment Fund?

[aztec100]

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 think what you're looking for is GLBSE.

That should help point you in the right direction, I hope.

The options available to you will vary based on your legal jurisdiction (i.e., where you are located).

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.

Ah, maybe I wasn't fully understanding the question then...

Thanks for the link.  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.
