Can US Citizens Participate in ICOs???

[cryptolit]

US citizens can participate in US ICOs but that's all. It's all to do with regulation so ICOs from elsewhere, Europe for example, should block people from participating with an IP address from America. It's quite difficult for people from elsewhere in the world to participate in US ICOs, lots of hoops to jump.

Why you think so? For example I want to participate in Qchain (and as I know its US ICO), so I can't do it, because I'm not US citizen? Don't think so.

Anyone can Join Qchan's ICO, I already joined and I'm not US citizen.

There are icos that US citizens are not allowed to join. The SEC rule is a thing to take note of if you want to join one. But there are icos in which the US ip address is banned from joining.

There are a lot of ICO's that restrict US citizens. The ones that do restrict US Citizens are the ones that are trying to be in compliant with SEC so that they do not get fined by them.  The other ones don’t think about the SEC, don’t even think that SEC could reach them, or just don’t care about the SEC.

This is how I read your comment:

"An extradition treaty exists: No sales to US citizens. No extradition treaty: All are welcome."

lol

Well that in the US is not forbidden vpn 
It looks strange, the United States is such a developed and advanced country, but US citizens can not participate in the ICO.

[kioicoin]

I think this depends on the project itself. Some projects they dont want to get trouble in future, so they ban the participation from US citiyens.

A working proxy or any other type of information that will prove that the person is not in the USA is a nice effort to make it possible to participate in ICO's that restrict USA users.

To put this into perspective, the United States is quite strict when it comes to investment regulations. Only accredited investors can partake in private placements of securities. While some people would urge all cryptocurrency ICOs are tokens and not securities, regulators will have a very different opinion regarding this matter. A lot of the ICOs we have seen can be labeled as traditional sales of equity.

Once the SEC will effectively intervene in cryptocurrency ICOs – which is only a matter of time – things will get very interesting, to say the least. A lot of previous ICOs didn’t take the necessary steps to “deny” US citizens from investing. All of those projects and their teams are at the mercy of the SEC for the time being. Violating US securities laws is not something anyone wants to deal with. Additionally, these laws can also be enforced upon non-US companies, which makes it even more important to take countermeasures.

The United States forbids ICO projects, but you can get identity information from other countries through underground channels so that you can formally participate in the ICO program.

Can US Citizens Participate in ICOs???

of course you can dont let the rottshild bankster cartel manipulated regionalist parliament in washington dictate you what you to do

[Acguy]

US was first to ban ICO before china but there are always ways to join.

[Eros1on]

U.S. citizens can participate in some ico projects, but most are not willing to accept Chinese and U.S. citizens in ico because both Chinese and U.S. governments consider it illegal to finance the project.

[Lingqingyi]

Sorry, US citizens can not participate in the ICO, depending on US policy issues, you can buy some of your favorite ICO projects in the secondary market,

[p i e c e]

Tell me if I am wrong, but as I know officially United States citizens should stay away from all ICO projects and never invest into them. However, I know some risky guys that use anonymizers and proxy and register there as the citizens of the other  countries.

[jackolinyoko]

Some ICOs allowed u.s citizen but most of them dont allow its prohibited in u.s.

[bit247]

as most of the ICOs are scam one way or another they don't because they are afraid about SEC

[multibit]

Yes and no. Probably because of the restrictions of crypto currencies in the US. That is why a lot of ICOs do not let US citizens to participate in their ICOs. Unfair it is, but that's just how things work. Nothing we can do about that.
But there are also a lot that accepts US citizens but there really aren't a lot that I have seen. But anyways, i wish this changes soon because a lot of US citizens are really into crypto currencies. This would really be great for the crypto world.

[landysh007]

I want this injustice to end. Crypto currency is created for independence from the government of the countries. It is very bad that US citizens are restricted in participating in the ICO. But so far this is really so.
