How can using the likeness of a dead celebrity possibly be legal?

There's certainly no morality to it. Its absolutely shameful.

Congrats Bryce on raking in $102 in trading volume over the last 24 hours.

I met with the SEC in person.
I met with the CFTC in person.
I met with the Dept of Treasury in person.

I don't care what you think is legal, because I know what is and is not legal.

The rest of you should be in full on fucking panic mode right now, because anything that doesn't look like my sale is an unregistered security.

I haven't been wrong on any of that so far.

Wanna keep betting against me?

Pardon me while I laugh my ass off at any denizen of these forums who seeks to lecture me on "morality" or "ethics".

I think most of you are cretins.

That's why you'll still buy my coin.

The average bitcointalk member hasn't swindled nearly as many people out of their money as you have. Frankly I don't know why I'm wasting my time here. Pretty soon your coin will have negative value and you'll be paying people to take it off your hands. Have fun while it lasts, Newbie.

Still picturing this when you post:


You never answered my question upthread: what specifically do you think is in violation of US securities law?

OK, since you didn't answer my question to you that I asked right before the post you're replying to, I'll ask again, what premine? I'm going to assume you mean the money mined at the start that was publicly announced before hand and that was used for the crowd sale in 2016. Is that what you're referring to?

If that's what you mean, it does not violate securities laws.

There is an exemption for the Howey Test if you cap fundraising at $100,000. Bryce did exactly that. He's worked with regulators from the start. There's photographic evidence. There's evidence on the SEC website.

If you have access to some other information I'm not aware of, do tell.

Wow, you've totally convinced me it's a scam with your incredibly compelling and nuanced argument! I've seen the light and I'm turning Bryce in to the SEC.

You seem confused. AltMarket is Bryce's exchange, and the only thing relevant as such. And regulators seem to trust it, so I'm looking forward to trading there where I don't have to worry about shady shit like the currently dying legacy ICO mania take on crypto. Yeehaw.

How do you not know that if you're posting here? Why on earth are you posting in a thread you obviously haven't even bothered to read?

https://alt.market/

It opened for registrations Dec 1st.

You can register, but it's currently set to only allow people to participate in the ODBcoin sale. Tao and fiat deposits are I believe coming in the next week or so, and Bryce hasn't specified when regular trading will be available.

The point here is mass adoption so what is visible on the site now is very minimal to make it as easy as possible for non-crypto people to buy ODB. Then a simplified buying interface will be turned on for the regular people, with a customizable widget-based interface with Tradingview charts for people used to dealing with exchanges.

Tao will be the base for trading pairs across the site, and ODBcoin and the other artist tokens - six are already scheduled for next year - will be exclusively traded against Tao. No other exchange will be able to list ODBcoin or the others because they have contracts with the artists granting exclusive rights to the artist's image and name, so they can sue if another exchange tries to list an artist token without permission.

ICO SCAM? WTF >>> NO EXCHANGE JUST BRYCE SHILLING HIS DOGSHIT ICO

If you have access to some other information I'm not aware of, do tell.

The only evidence I found on the SEC's website was related to his Altmarket company. It was an application for an Exempt Offering of Securities, the total amount they were seeking to raise was $5 million. So where did you get the $100k number from? If there's more evidence on the SEC website as you claim, feel free to post it here.

You know what, I was mistaken. I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like the exemption was actually $1,000,000 under Regulation D which has since been raised to $5M. Either way, the ICO he held in 2016 was capped at $100K and did not require registration and so is not listed on the SEC site. I apologize if my phrasing was unclear since I didn't mean to say the Tao ICO was listed there, just evidence of him working with regulators and proceeding in a legal fashion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_D_(SEC)

The registration filing you saw was for an equity sale in AltMarket, which I don't think was open to non-accredited investors, so that sale needed to be filed with them, and was as you saw.

If you look upthread, you can also find photos of him meeting with regulators and there's video of him speaking about the project in front of the New York Bar Association in NYC. The audience included not only a ton of high powered lawyers, but representatives from I forget either the SEC or the CFTC. He makes a number of specific claims during his explanation that he would be pretty damn foolish to be making in front of that audience unless he planned to follow through on them.
