SEC is helping

[metalglowd]

I think you are right, the days of collecting people's money and tag them as a contributors and not an investors and give them tokens, only for the tokens to be worth nothing and their money gone, I think the space will undergo serious reform.

and the biggest problem is, there are still many lay people who think that what they are buying is useful, even though the fact is that everything they buy using FIAT is only useful if on the same platform, the adoption of crypto that they buy has not yet occupied all the expected aspects and not all platforms can fully support

[rabinot]

we all hope for a positive decision of the commission and for the fact that it will give impetus for a new wave of cryptocurrency growth

[asriloni]

I think the SEC will help the industry. Of course, if they really decide to give the green light to cryptocurrency and allow institutional investors to enter this sphere.

They will put the more restriction that give a limitation to the crypto. I thought that can't be considered as a green light. If they are interesting to give a green light to the crypto and why must they create strict rules to be followed by the crypto issuer? Does it make sense for you?

The more the SEC cracks down on unregistered securities posing as ICOs ,the more the atmosphere in crypto will change .IMO , ICOs will not die but they will definitely have to take a new form and STOs will play a big role. I believe this is a gods thing for the industry.

SEC doesn't help us. It solves the problem of clear scammers. But people can spot them by themselves.
What sec really does is building walls for startups. In IPO it was a big problem to collect money by securities issue. And small startups with great ideas were not allowed to get money from investors. ICO made this barriers disappear.
And the main task of SEC is to block such startups so the market will enter only those projects that have money on this procedure, but they are already big companies, almost always.

SEC will not help you to gain money, it is time to understand it

I don't care about SEC and I don't wanna know if SEC will help me or not cause I believe that in this crypto world nobody can help you better than yourself. If you wanna keep your money safe, try to become professional trader or investor or just be a bounty hunter or freelancer in this world then everything will be fine without SEC .

you say the right thing,
it all depends on ourselves, if we want to get more then we must learn to master the market. we can't depend on sec, sec won't help much about our income.

but at least the SEC can help to filter out illegal projects even though in the end they can not guarantee the profit for investors but we still have hope and can continue to wait until the project really grows and generate huge profits for investors

Can't you filter projects by yourself? Many projects from 2017/18 are clear scam and only people without any sense of self-preservation invested in it. Others invested in tokens that lost 80% of value.
What about scam projects - we can see if it is clear scam, no SEC required for that. If we want more - we have authoritative persons - they are called ESCROW. They will identify if project is scam and also they will give money only for required purposes(for development and etc.).
SEC is useless in this field, we can do all things by ourselves

You don't care about them, but thay would like to take "care" of your money. All of us should take position is this question. Don't stand aside, maybe your decision will be decisive

[owlman]

SEC plays an important role in the cryptocurrency industry, as their decision to adopt bitcoin ETFs can influence the recovery of the market and the trend change, because many are waiting for this decision. It would be good if the SEC controlled the creation of new projects and revealed scammers, but for me personally it is a mystery what exactly they are interested in.

[Quidat]

The SEC can't do nearly as much as people think. They only have authority in the US. There is still every other country that can participate in ICOs, as has been the case for quite some time now. There's also a way that they could crack down on scam ICOs without harming others but they evidently don't wish to do so.

Well, let's not just take the big step and consider the small step one at a time. I know they can't do it all if they were doing it alone, that's why they(SEC) have to crack down those ICOs one by one. To stop them from what they are doing is not right and sooner some countries next to them will follow their lead then it will expand all over the country.

It is helpful but in different and its own way. ICOs has its own value of paying like the cryptocurrency. In such way it might undergo a process not to overtake the SEC in the community. Well we do believe that it will continous to practice the aiming goal is high so that the income will keep going.

[youdacapt]

Sec does regulate this problem but it is not entirely and they will not be able to give us big profits. Just look at the time when the ICO was devastated and the market situation was increasingly chaotic with all this, of course, we were very worried whether the program could bring a near future.

I think that would be good! There will be fewer scams. The SEC now (in early 2019) has enough problems. But in the future, if they can solve the problems, it will be a great way to earn money!

[Farahtenan]

Many people want the SEC to give crypto permission and if it is approved, this gives the crypto room a wider and better space.
There are no institutions capable of accommodating crypto and future aspirations.

[Gekkoo]

Since when are centralizing organ interferences beneficial to the industry? They are always the same ones who want to control everything and all this is such annoying! I think everyone should be responsible for their actions because there is no innocent cryptocurrency, I say this because even beginners should know before putting their money anywhere. Also, people can get involved with cryptography without investing a single penny! The SEC will naturally defend what is in the real world. Taxes and information on the origin of money for example. Either way, at least the scammers were discouraged for the most part.

[TheClownSong]

Recently, SEC give guidance to ICOs. I think its good step from SEC to prevent many scam ICOs. If this guidance followed by ICOs developers team, i think it will create good climate in market and make investor trust on ICOs again.

ICOs prohibit US citizens from participating in their token sale program. For me, ICOs or STOs can become a failed project, if the investors do not think carefully before investing and just follow the invite that the project will be successful and bring big profits

What about hundreds of scam development teams kf new crypto projects,they will also help them to build trust on SEC by following the guidelines,I don't think so and even SEC just ignoring the request for too long.

[belli4388]

the ico will not disappear despite the insistence of the sec but obviously they will have to share the market with the new sto

[ukloon]

This is a good thing to help reduce the number of scammy ICOs. However, this only applies to american products and not the ones coming out of the eastern block or asia. The SEC will help to protect american investors and bring confidence into the market

[Mmesooma1]

They are really doing their best to sanitize the crypto market and I am sure that if they have their way, they would totally regulate the crypto market but the decentralized nature of cryptocurecncies makes it difficult

[terahash]

I don't think STO will last long and ICO will be victorious again, many of us don't like KYC and that makes STO not much interested in people and there are also some STO rules that must be followed which make many people dislike STO.

[hummer113]

I also think it is a positive dynamics, I think that it will help investors are less afraid of scam in the future.
